  • There are lots of other nifty features in this phone and the new OS, like great sound quality with Beats Audio, resizing the size of tiles, pinning whatever you want on the front screen, etc. Overall, the phone is definitely worth buying.Page(s) 1 ...

  • Amazing build quality, Design that is love at first sight, Soft finish polycarbonate adds to the persona, Windows Phone 8 is slick and elegant, Microsoft account sync is seamless, Excellent display, Good call quality
  • Bad battery life, Limited storage, with no expansion, Certain third-party apps crashed, Bing Maps are fairly useless in India
  • The new Windows Phone 8X is rather impressive. Straight out of the box, the 8X catches your eye with the rather striking design, which blends in the edges and the curves rather well. The polycarbonate build is just brilliant. Carrying on with the positive...

  • What you have here is some fantastic hardware and a beautiful new OS. But the whole package has an Achilles' heel.The first question you need to ask yourself is whether Windows Phone 8 is for you. So, take a look at your current smartphone and work out wh...

  • Brilliant display, Great design and form factor, Windows Phone 8
  • Tends to heat up, Camera could have been better, Locating the power button can be a trouble
  • The HTC 8X is an excellent option for all those seeking a high-end device. It has great hardware and Windows Phone 8 runs brilliantly on it. At Rs 35,000, it is not cheap but is also easily the best Windows Phone device in the market at the moment. Those ...

  • HTC has seen better days in the smartphone market - we know this doesn't sound too good but somehow it has little to do with the quality of its devices. The company had solid offerings in the One X and the One S but it seems Samsung is better at making mo...

  • Fluid and elegant UI, Rich social networking experience, Looks trendy, Impressive sound quality, Pixelpacked screen.
  • Mediocre screen contrast, Limited storage, Oddly placed lock button, Lacklustre maps
  • The WP8 OS is definitely the USP of this handset. Moreover, the trendy design and impressive sound quality are the 8X's plus point. On the other hand, I feel that its display and camera could have been better. If you're not nitpicky about these, then HTC...
