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

Poor battery life
Lacking in apps

Rival phones have bigger screens and faster chips
App store is barren
No removable battery
No expandable memory
Rubbish multiple calendar support
Mediocre battery life

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

The HTC Titan was the first handset that I had the luxury of reviewing last year. I never thought that ten months later I'd be fortunate enough to review its successor – the HTC Windows Phone 8X. To be honest, there isn't much of a difference in terms of ...
Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB RAM, the overall user experience on the WP8X by HTC is pretty smooth. We did not encounter any instances of lag or system freezes, which often plague Android smartphones before the intro...
Unique design, Great handling, Good camera performance, High quality front camera
Sub par battery performance, Power, volume buttons too flushed to device, Lack of exclusive apps and services
The WP8X by HTC has huge potential to be a killer signature device for Microsoft's latest mobile operating system, but its flaws and stiff competition threaten to overshadow its strengths. Out of the three WP8 flagship devices announced, the WP8X by HTC s...
Overall HTC has crafted an amazing device that carries the flagship tag with pride. The hardware design is a beauty to behold, just picking it up reinforces that feeling. The internals are no slouch either with no signs of slow down using the device. Any ...

Diseño atractivo con líneas curvas, bordes estrechos, colores llamativos y un cuerpo en policarbonato muy agradable al tacto, Pantalla SuperLCD 2 de 4.3″ de alta resolución (342 ppp) con buen ángulo de visión, negros profundos y colores brillantes, Fluide
Almacenamiento interno reducido (16 GB) sin posibilidad de ampliación, Botones con poco recorrido y algo difíciles de apretar, Pocas aplicaciones de HTC y, las que se incluyen, son de poco valor añadido, Windows Phone 8 todavía presenta carencias notables
El aspecto del HTC Windows Phone 8X resulta, en su conjunto, muy atractivo y el cuerpo monochasis en policarbonato ofrece una gran sensación de solidez al sostenerlo en la mano, además de ser muy agradable al tacto. Sus dimensiones y peso son un tanto e...
