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

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

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

Accessibility and sensitivity could be better
Camera interface isn't great

Sleek design; userfriendly Windows Phone interface; Crisp colourful screen; Powerful snappers that can be expanded via ‘lenses’; Beats Audio.
Small choice of apps; disappointing battery life; lack of memory card slot
HTC's Windows Phone 8X exceeds itself on so many levels – ultra-sharp display, smooth design and impressive dual snappers, as well as plenty of social networking options and Beats Audio for quality sound. It's just slightly let down by the lack of apps an...
We can't give a verdict before testing out the 8X more thoroughly. As soon as we get a review model, we'll put it through its paces and update this article. What's disappointing, though, is the lack of expandable storage given the paltry 16GB - with no hi...
