App ecosystem remains deficient
Not the best ergonomics for a 4.3-inch phone
Beats Audio and new front-facing camera are superfluous gimmicks
No microSD expansion slot
Still waiting on some of my most wanted apps to come to Windows Phone
Maximum 16GB memory
Random resets
New aspect ratio that isn't ideal for older apps/games
Battery drain present with some devices
Capacitive buttons can be overly sensitive
And occasional lag with the front facing camera
Battery life is on the short side
Hardware buttons are shallow so it's hard to feel the press
Ugly
The Windows Phone store is still foundering in the shoals and has been for a year now
And we're really wondering when—or even if—it will get the tractio
Low-resolution screen
Poor battery life
Very little internal storage
No removable memory. Windows Phone still has fewer apps than Android or iOS
No removable memory. Can't use T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature. Windows Phone still has fewer apps than Android or iOS
Photos are a bit washed out. Lacks high-quality free navigation apps
Lacks Nokia's value added apps from the Lumia Windows Phone line
Lacks Nok

The buttons are too flush
And the OS lacks some key apps
No microSD card

Forgettable camera

Few worthwhile improvements with WP8
Lackluster low lighting photo quality
Weak internal speaker
Windows Phone still suffers from a lack of apps

Abstract: HTC late last year announced yet another Windows Phone 8 device, originally codenamed the HTC Accord and aimed at the mid-range smartphone market. The Accord eventually materialised in November 2012 as the HTC Windows Phone 8X, with better specifications ...
Great performance, Stunning display, Excellent front facing camera, Solid built
Lack of expandable storage options
We absolutely love what HTC has done with the 8X and it's definitely a great phone to have if you love the new Tiles system of WP8. The lack of a expandable storage slot is regrettable, but does not take away what the phone has to offer.(previously publi...
The WP8X by HTC has huge potential to be a killer signature device for Microsoft's latest mobile operating system, but its flaws and stiff competition threaten to overshadow its strengths. Out of the three WP8 flagship devices announced, the WP8X by HTC s...

Windows Phone still lacks apps, Vague physical buttons
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...
Hardware design, Windows Phone UI's smooth interface, Live Tiles
Lack of popular apps, Non userreplaceable battery, Nonexpandable storage
After using it for almost a month as my daily driver, I think the HTC Windows Phone 8X is a great smartphone. It would have been greater if the apps that I use on my iPhone 5 are also present in the Windows Phone Marketplace. If you're the type of person ...
Absolutely amazing feel, Beautiful OS, Smart, even by smartphone, standards
Limited apps, for now, Limited onboard storage, Limited Google services functionality

The HTC 8X is a solid, top-level, feature packed Windows Phone 8 device. Compared to the Lumia 920 and 820, the HTC 8X shines when it comes to form factor and build (Lumia 920 wins in camera and Nokia apps). However we understand if you're apprehensive in...
Abstract: Windows Phone 8 has been out for a while now, but there has been a severe lack of WP8 devices in our country. While Nokia has always been the go-to manufacturer for Windows Phone devices, Nokia Philippines has not officially launched any kind ...

The HTC Titan was the first handset that I had the luxury of reviewing last year. I never thought that ten months later I'd be fortunate enough to review its successor – the HTC Windows Phone 8X. To be honest, there isn't much of a difference in terms of ...
