  • The Windows Phone 8X design is certainly striking. Think of the Nokia Lumi 800’s “pillow” shape with straighter lines and you’re not far off. Unfortunately

  • App store is barren
  • No removable battery

  • Rubbish multiple calendar support
  • Mediocre battery life
  • Not enough HTC specialities
  • Average battery life
  • We have to be frank
  • As striking as the design it
  • It’s not nearly as premium as the beautiful curved casing of the HTC One X and X+ Android phones. And as good as the camera is
  • It lacks the fantastic burst mode of HTC’s Android phones
  • And their ability to take photos whilst recording video.And nor is there a 4G data option on the way
  • Which seems like a bit of an oversight when a 4G HTC One X
  • Windows Phone still lacks apps
  • Vague physical buttons
  • Nowhere near enough Windows Phone apps
  • HTC hasn't developed any value for the Windows Phone platform
  • Camera isn't brilliant
  • Battery life is average
  • Camera lacks stabilisation
  • Windows Phone Store lagging behind
  • Relatively low onboard storage
  • No MicroSD
  • No 4G
  • Small choice of apps
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Lack of memory card slot
  • Physical buttons
  • Accessibility and sensitivity could be better
  • Camera interface isn't great
  • Some major apps still not available for Windows Phone 8
  • LED flash isn't particularly effective
  • Photos are a bit washed out
  • No memory card slot
  • Still not a lot of apps in the Marketplace

  • Windows Phone 8X Display and UI The 720p 4.3 inch display of the HTC Windows Phone 8X is very good. Colours are vibrant, whites are pure and blacks, while not as inky as on the iPhone 5 or the ClearBlack display of the Lumia 920 (there it is again), st...

  • 8MP camera with f/2.0 aperture, Elegant, latest WP8 OS, Unibody polycarbonate design, Fantastic contacts integration
  • No removable battery, No expandable memory, Rubbish multiple calendar support, Mediocre battery life
  • When we reviewed earlier Windows Phone handsets, we were told the platform needed time to bed in. It's had that and it's evolved but we can't help feeling there are still a few areas it really is left lacking. Things like the poor media support are inexc...

  • OK, let's consider the Windows Phone 8X compared with its Windows competition — and then we'll look at the wider market. Personally, I haven't reviewed Nokia's Lumia 920 and 820 devices yet, but I have played with them during their Australian launch fes...

  • Beautiful LCD screen. Smooth user experience. Good battery life
  • No expandable memory. Camera not on par with other HTCs. HTC apps are a bland assortment
  • HTC's Windows Phone 8X needed that "one more thing" to justify its place among the premium phones, but fails to deliver. It's a good phone, just not a great one....

  • If you want an amazing Windows Phone 8 handset that Nokia doesn't make, the 8X is the handset for you. It's sexy, slim, feature-packed and specced to the nines with a price that's nice to match...

  • Lovely balanced feel; 4G connection; Beats Audio "headphone amp" helps to provide tons of sound for wired earphones;
  • No microSD; 16GB storage with only 12GB free isn't really much these days; A deafening camera and audio bug: don't take pictures with headphones in; Not enough apps in the ecosystem;
  • If you're after a great Windows Phone 8 experience but haven't been at all intrigued by the big bulky 920 put forth thus far by Nokia, HTC's 8X could be the solution you're looking for.We're still not sure about that camera bug that seems to leave us deaf...

  • Fresh and attractive design, Excellent screen, Slick and fast performance
  • Limited internal memory & no card slot, Poor ergonomics due to long shape, Limited Windows Phone app ecosystem
  • The Windows Phone 8X by HTC is one of the most attractive smartphones we've reviewed this year. It offers excellent performance thanks to the slick Windows Phone OS and has a great display. However, the 8X is let down by a lack of expandable memory, some...

  • Abstract:  Nokia's not the only smartphone manufacturer getting a bite at the Windows Phone 8 pie. No, sir. HTC also wants in on the action, and it's going to get it with the HTC 8X — a curvy new addition to HTC's Windows Phone fraternity.AU Editor's Note: this is a...

  • The HTC Windows Phone 8X's edgy design joins forces with a top-of-the-line processor, LTE speeds, and great call quality
  • This phone's 8-megapixel camera took a few poor pictures, the buttons are too flush, and the OS lacks some key apps
  • With top specs and a striking design, HTC's Windows Phone 8X makes a smart choice for anyone ready to dive into the Windows Phone OS....

  • We haven't tested either handset yet, but on paper, Nokia's Lumia 920 is looking like a better buy for Windows Phone enthusiasts who want to get on board with the new version than HTC's Windows Phone 8X. Nokia's handset supports 4G speeds in Australia, w...
