As we said in our hands on preview
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
We were given the black version for review
Which is the runt of the litter
And utterly boring to look at. We’ve seen the purple number in the flesh before however
And it’s a lot more exciting - as

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
There are lots of other nifty features in this phone and the new OS, like great sound quality with Beats Audio, resizing the size of tiles, pinning whatever you want on the front screen, etc. Overall, the phone is definitely worth buying.Page(s) 1 ...
Amazing build quality, Design that is love at first sight, Soft finish polycarbonate adds to the persona, Windows Phone 8 is slick and elegant, Microsoft account sync is seamless, Excellent display, Good call quality
Bad battery life, Limited storage, with no expansion, Certain third-party apps crashed, Bing Maps are fairly useless in India
The new Windows Phone 8X is rather impressive. Straight out of the box, the 8X catches your eye with the rather striking design, which blends in the edges and the curves rather well. The polycarbonate build is just brilliant. Carrying on with the positive...
What you have here is some fantastic hardware and a beautiful new OS. But the whole package has an Achilles' heel.The first question you need to ask yourself is whether Windows Phone 8 is for you. So, take a look at your current smartphone and work out wh...
Brilliant display, Great design and form factor, Windows Phone 8
Tends to heat up, Camera could have been better, Locating the power button can be a trouble
The HTC 8X is an excellent option for all those seeking a high-end device. It has great hardware and Windows Phone 8 runs brilliantly on it. At Rs 35,000, it is not cheap but is also easily the best Windows Phone device in the market at the moment. Those ...
HTC has seen better days in the smartphone market - we know this doesn't sound too good but somehow it has little to do with the quality of its devices. The company had solid offerings in the One X and the One S but it seems Samsung is better at making mo...
The WP8 OS is definitely the USP of this handset. Moreover, the trendy design and impressive sound quality are the 8X's plus point. On the other hand, I feel that its display and camera could have been better. If you're not nitpicky about these, then HTC...
Just 16GB of storage, Low light camera performance, Flush power button,
HTC calls the 8X a signature Windows Phone device and after using it over the course of several days, we're inclined to believe them. The angular design goes well with the tiled operating system and the size feels absolutely perfect. Great performance and...
Do you want a Windows Phone? Are you on a carrier other than ATT? Then yes, this will probably be the best youre going to get.But if youre on the fence about making the switch, you probably want to hang back and see what the Lumia 920 looks like. Then...
Abstract: HTC just unveiled the two latest additions to its smartphone lineup. Called HTC Windows Phone 8X and HTC Windows Phone 8S, the devices are unsurprisingly powered by the latest version of the Microsoft WP platform...
