  • Colourful 4-inch screen
  • Reasonably priced
  • Design
  • Handling
  • Finish
  • Sense interface is intuitive and wellintegrated
  • A generally responsive handset
  • Audio quality
  • While the absurd Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note sales numbers have shown there’s a big market for even bigger phones
  • They’re not for everyone. The HTC Desire X is a much more manageable size
  • With a screen you can actually cover every corner of with one hand.It’s still running much the same software as HTC’s swankier One series phones though
  • Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” with a delicious
  • Userfriendly Sense interface
  • Beats Audio
  • Lengthy battery life

The editors didn't like

  • There's nothing to get really excited about
  • Average specs
  • Lower RAM
  • Cut down HTC Sense
  • Flimsy back cover
  • Plasticky build quality
  • Small internal memory
  • Screen viewing angles are quite tight
  • Photo quality
  • High SAR level
  • While the HTC Desire X is more than fast enough for all but the most hardcore users and 3D gamers - more so in fact than the HTC One V
  • Which is odd since that’s meant to be a classier phone - its specs aren’t cutting edge. The 800x480 panel is bright with great colours
  • But not hugely sharp
  • You’ll see the jagged edges and pixels
  • Particularly if you like to read long articles on the go.The same
  • Couple of glitches
  • Onboard storage could be better
  • Odd back panel fit
  • Snapper shutter suffers from lag
  • Flimsy backplate
  • Nothing special to look at
  • No real USP
  • Screen could be more sensitive
  • Sluggish processor
  • Not very distinctive
  • No front-facing camera
  • Mediocre main camera
  • No HD video capture

  • The Desire X is a well-built handset, but one that has been planned out to a definite budget and not optimised for business use. The low-resolution rear camera and lack of front-facing camera can be overlooked, but its lack of processing power can caus...

  • The HTC Desire X is a reasonable smartphone, but nothing more. It will serve you perfectly well on a day to day basis, but there's distinctly no frills attached. Those looking for a more exciting device will want to look elsewhere.Tags:Smartphones, Androi...

  • Good screen, Comfy size for the hand, Some nice camera features
  • Flimsy backplate, Nothing special to look at, No real USP
  • There's nothing particularly special about the HTC Desire X. Instead, it is yet another mid-range handset offering yet another set of mid-range specs. I do like the screen though, and it's nice to see the HTC camera features on a handset at this price. I...

  • Ice Cream Sandwich, midrange price,
  • Screen could be more sensitive, sluggish processor, not very distinctive
  • The HTC Desire X is a perfectly decent midrange handset but is let down by its insensitive screen and it doesn't really do a lot to distinguish itself from rivals in this space, like the Galaxy Ace 2, Sony Xperia P or Orange San Diego.SpecificationsSof...

  • Good performance from the dual-core chip; Clear, colourful 4-inch screen; MicroSD card slot; reasonably priced
  • Plasticky build quality
  • The HTC Desire X is a decent mid-range 'droid for people who want a capable phone that doesn't cost the Earth. With a bright 4-inch screen, Android Ice Cream Sandwich and a dual-core 1GHz chip, it's a wise choice for budget-conscious Android lovers....

  • Neat, slim design, Decent screen
  • No front-facing camera, Mediocre main camera, No HD video capture
  • The HTC Desire X lops off some features to squeeze its slim body into a lower-mid range pigeonhole. Most of these aren't too critical. It uses a cut-down version of HTC Sense, has no user-facing camera and the main camera isn't too hot. But it gets the ba...

  • Userfriendly Sense interface; Beats Audio; Lengthy battery life; Bright, colourful screen
  • Couple of glitches; onboard storage could be better; odd back panel fit; snapper shutter suffers from lag
  • You get a lot on the HTC Desire X considering its mid-range price, including a bright, clear 4in display and an impressive snapper. With Beats Audio, and a good day of life in that battery, there are few mid-range mobiles that can beat it...

  • Compact, affordable, respectable screen size, microSD card slot
  • There's nothing to get really excited about
  • The HTC Desire X falls into an odd space where it lacks the cutting-edge design of the One series and some scrimping has been done on the spec sheet. The result is a phone that does most things, but feels as though it lacks excitement....

  • Low price, Vivid screen, Compact design
  • Average specs, Lower RAM, Cut down HTC Sense, Flimsy back cover
  • The HTC Desire X is a decent mid-range phone which offers up a smartphone experience you've come to expect from handsets which cost around £200.It's doesn't offer anything particularly thrilling, nor does it having any major flaws and while the design is...
