Beautiful Phone

The shining quality of this phone is its build design. Its beautifully constructed with a soft plastic uni-body and feels really natural while held due to its slight curvature. The screen also has a curve to it giving it a very smooth feel when maneuvering from right to left, vice versa. Its ultra thin and with all things considered, its simply gorgeous. The OS is smooth, but as an android user for multiple years, I can never say I like anything but android. Windows is a very respectable OS and it is useful/practical, but it just doesn't feel familiar or natural to me (I've become accustomed to android). In summary, it does include Office-like applications which is awesome, has a great camera, has good battery life, but simply doesn't give me that customizable uniqueness that android gives you. However, the drop-dead-gorgeous feel/look of this phone is enough to cope with not being an android phone (although I do have an android as well).

Awesome phone!

This phone is beautiful and is extremely well built. All around great device. DISPLAY The Super LCD display is gorgeous! The phone itself is very nice. Very sharp details and crazy vivid colours. The Gorilla glass does a very good job of protecting the display. I have no worries when I slip it in to my pocket along with keys or loose change. No screen protector needed with this one. PHYSICAL BUILD The screen is almost flush with the body. The body feels super nice in your hand, it's not slippery but it's not rough. There is a bit of a raised ring around the camera lens that prevents the lens from being scratched when set down flat on a surface. The phone fits perfectly in the palm of my hand and it's very easy to use it with just one hand. Not too big, not too small. Just right. BUTTONS The camera button is very convenient to take pictures with. You can start the camera without even unlocking the phone. It takes less than 3 seconds to start the camera from standby. The volume rocker is very easily accessible. Even when in your pocket you don't have to fumble to turn it down without looking at it. The power button is easy to push with just one hand, not too far from the bottom of the phone. REAR CAMERA The rear camera takes AMAZING pictures. I have an HTC One X and it has the same camera as the 8X but the 8X takes considerably better pictures. They are very detailed and have good colour. FRONT FACING CAMERA The front facing camera is very good too. The wide angle lens makes taking pictures of yourself or pictures of you with friends very easy and the quality of the pictures is INSANE. I've never seen a clearer picture come from a front facing camera on a phone. SOUND The sound quality with this device is amazing! While in call the earpiece is very loud and clear. If you put the call through the loud speaker, its just as clear but much louder. When it comes to playing music, I love the Beats Audio that is built in to this phone. It sounds great through head phones and through the loud speaker. BATTERY LIFE The battery life on the phone is also amazing. The 8X easily beats the battery life on any phone I have ever used. Summary This phone is amazing. If you are looking for a Windows Phone 8 device, look no further. This phone is the phone for you. Just great.

This is one of the best phones i have used. I ABSOLUTELY love it. HTC 8X is so light. My friends had compared it to their current phones and I tell you HTC 8X is the lightest of them all.Seems like it is made just right for the Windows phone8. If you are a girl like me who doesnt like bulky and oversize phones,I recommend u to buy this beauty My favorite thing about it is the wide angle Front facing camera..I always make my friends jealous showing off my front facing camera..The pics come out crystal clear... It has an amazing battery life. And I tell you this has an amazing audio.. nothing can beat the beats audio..And also the volume level is very high, u will be amazed. I love my HTC WINDOWS PHONE 8X...it is blue and it is very SEXY...i have gotten so many compliments for my sleek, stunning and sexy phone...!!!
