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
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
Lovely hardware, great screen, brilliantly designed OS, fast and responsive
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
If apps aren't much interest to you, then the 8X will suit you down to the ground. Windows Phone has most bases covered, but even so there are some missing apps that we really crave. Even so, the hardware is solid, and HTC has managed to create a very ...

ImagingHTC is fast establishing itself as one of the go-to companies for premium camera-phone setups and the 8X is representative of this fact.It sports an 8-megapixel primary camera with a back-illuminated sensor (BSI), LED flash and an f/2.0 aperture. V...
Abstract: I've always had a soft spot for HTC's phones. The Taiwanese company was among the first to bring a touchscreen smartphone to the UK and was an early trailblazer for Android back in 2007. Its HD7 was an understated but worthy competitor when pitched aga...

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 inexcus...
Abstract: Weighing in at a mere 130 grams, and constructed in polycarbonate and glass, the HTC has hung it's hopes (for the moment) on the high-end Windows Phone 8X on Verizon. As it stands HTC along with Microsoft is again striving to convince tech buyers that the...
Abstract: One of the latest HTC phones to grace the market is the Windows Phone 8X. HTC has collaborated with Windows to create a phone so sleek and functional, it's just a matter of time till Microsoft starts stealing more market share. It helps that the interface...
Abstract: My initial reaction as I began to use it out of the box was that it's zippy and responsive, delivering what I asked without hesitation. This is partly due to it being connected to Verizon's 4G LTE network. But aside from the reliable, speedy internet serv...
