HTC 8X, simply named after Microsoft’s latest Windows Phone 8 OS, is the company’s flagship Windows Phone that really puts up a tough competition against Nokia’s heavier Lumia 920. One thing in which the 8X especially outshines other smartphones today is its eye-catching colorful design. The attractive thin tapered design is perhaps the best reason for you to buy this phone . Having an exceptionally light 130g body, it  also measures just 10.1 mm thick but the tapered edges gives the impression of an extremely thin device. On the front is a 4.3 Inch 720 x 1280 Super LCD 2 display along with protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The 342 ppi results is even better than the iPhone 5’s 326 ppi so everything is much more crisp and detailed.

The HTC 8X runs Microsoft’s latest Windows Phone 8 which is a quantum leap over the previous version of Windows Phone. HTC has also made some useful little additions like HTC Hub(now just “HTC”), lock screen wallpapers, ringtones and Beats Audio(a HTC-only feature that enhances the sound quality).

It houses a 1.5 GHz Dual-Core S4 Snapdragon processor and 1 GB of RAM. For Windows Phone, these specs are more than enough for a great experience. Everything is buttery smooth and much more faster than previous version of Windows Phone. The 8X has a 1800 mAh battery that’ll easily get you through a good day of heavy use. If you are a moderate user, then you may get much more than that.

The company has included all the basic connectivity features in the 8x like EDGE, 3G, GPRS, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to keep you connected on the go.
