HTC Windows Phone 8X is rather compact with its 4.3" 720p screen. It measures 132.4 x 66.2 x 10.1mm and weighs 130g. The HTC Windows Phone 8X (now that's a mouthful) uses a polycarbonate unibody, similar to that of the One X.

Going back to the screen, it's a Super LCD 2 unit with Gorilla Glass 2 protection and it's laminated to reduce glare.
The HTC Windows Phone 8X is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset with two Krait cores clocked at 1.5GHz, Adreno 225 GPU and 1GB of RAM. It runs Microsoft's latest phone OS, Windows Phone 8 (as the name quite clearly indicates).
The camera on the back should be familiar to HTC users - 8MP BSI sensor, f/2.0 aperture and 28mm field of view (in 35mm terms). It contains a dedicated HTC ImageChip and can shoot 1080p video with stereo sound.
There's a 2.1MP front-facing camera too, which can also record1080p videos and makes use of the ImageChip.
Having mentioned sound, HTC has included its trademark Beats Audio sound enhancement, but no Beats headset as is the norm with some of its Android phones.
The HTC Windows Phone 8X comes with 16GB of built-in storage, which you can expand with a microSD card.
For connectivity, the HTC's WP8 flagship relies on dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, NFC, Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack.
The Windows Phone 8X will become available in the beginning of November, covering 150 major carriers in 50+ countries, but HTC's press release was mum on price. There will be four color versions - California Blue, Graphite Black, Flame Red and Limelight Yellow.

Look like lumia

Straight away they announce the availability. Nokia, take notice please.
This phone is a heaven sent for camwhoring.

The marketing genius me just had an idea - Samsung "1st to unveil WP8", Nokia "1st to unveil working WP8", HTC "1st to unveil WP8 with pricing & availability" at Windows Phone Family everyone can be a first. HAHAHAHAHA

4.3" I'll pass. Waiting for 4.7".

htc lost his sense. LoL

Ativ S then?

4.7" kinda huge. i think the best screen size will be 4"

different ppl like dfferent size...even got ppl like galaxy note size...

for me 4.3" is the best....

i m using galaxy note... dat y..... kinda sad....

size 5" = note or table

size 4.0 ~ 4.8 = still acceptable as smartphone.

once you adapt to 4.8" very hard to downgrade. if you look at my history .. 2003 BIG > small > middle small > BIG

So 4.5 won't be troublesome to carry around?

why htc and nokia WP device all design also like rectangular shape ?
and also so many colour to choose, lol
but I don't know why 8x only 4.3 inch, at least 4.5
I will feel it very small as now using s3 =.=

to TS, the topic description is htc windows phone 8 flagship, not windows 8

TS, why don't I see anywhere stating that the 8X is equipped with MicroSD card slot? Are you sure about that?

my sos is gsmarena.

official

http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-wp-8x/#specs

as u say, micro sim. no micro sd.

Too bad not pureview....

well, like i said once you've adapt to 4.5 or 4.8" you wont be bother about troublesome carying around.


same like when 1st gen wp7 release, only carry radar 3.8" and HD7 4.3" later follow by Titan 4.7"

Urm, bro, look at your own first post. You stated it is equipped with MicroSD which is the reason to my question.

Not entirely. you see the weather and time tile (although the time info repetitive) is similar to HTC Sense.


Evil is waiting for HTC Titan 4.7 WP8 replacement.

I personally think 920 and 8X are "lower" high end devicess. HTC and Nokia will eventually launch better spec SUPERPHONEs which will become the real flagship WP8 devices for the two companies.

yes, very indeed i need max 4.8". shall wait for next release of WP8

i think screen size is a personal preference la... i personally love the 4.3" screen size. =D and wif 1280X720 pixels.... it'll be omg sharp. =p

currently waiting for my meizu mx quotations maybe 920 or this one

wow if that the real price for htc 8x

Amazon UK drops HTC Windows Phone 8X pre-order price to £399

1.9k? abit on the high side =(

agreed. winmo shld below rm999. else will consider pricy.

hahah. for this spec... RM999 is too low la. the manufacturers wont be able to make any profit/ cover their costs.
im thinkin 1.2k to 1.5k

still can, if factory in china.

Anyone got their 8x from lowyat plaza yet?

when launch? today?

so fast?

30th to November 4th lowyat plaza concourse
8x rm1699 with beats audio headset for free

Added on November 1, 2012, 9:07 amLumia got voice navi. Other winmo7/8 don't have atm.

This post has been edited by KannaSai1: Nov 1 2012, 09:07 AM

From my source.. Price nearly 1.8k..maybe lusa or sabtu dapat..freebies..tbc..

all wp8 comes with voice navi
all using nokia voice navi
no longer using bing map

booked? no ready stock?

offline or online navi ?

Huhuhu .... Booked mine *happy*

At lowyat, no ready stock, claim to be ready next week, tuesday ealiest. Only two colours will be available in malaysia, black and blue. I chose blue.

what price n freebies?

1699, price after promotion claimed to be 1799. No freebies but with purchase you have opprtunity to buy rm 999.00 beats headphones for 399.00. I didn't buy it.

test see worth. If worth help me buy

399 not overprice?

really can get a good headphone by that price d.

offline. Microsoft managed to get a deal with Nokia to make Nokia drive available on all WP.

Btw any news on the 8S? My mom want to get a new phone and she is not tech savy. Just buy phone to look cool. Instead of being generic and getting ip5 or the S3, the 8S looking damn sleek with the two tone colours.

Oh crap

HTC One X+ and Windows Phone 8X, 8S officially launched for SEA. Available mid-November

Looks like my htc 8x that i booked in lowyat cannot be fulfilled next week as they promised. I wonder if they are gonna call to inform and apologise. Knowing the standard of service here in malaysia, probably not.

Hopefully camera will be better than one X. RM1699 sounds a bit high, no? Quad core one X is around this price or cheaper. Or they are using the "smoothness" advantage over the one X? But what if one X with Jellybean?

This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Nov 3 2012, 01:15 AM

X+ is loaded with jb.

HTC 8X official price is RM1799

SOURCE

ahh.. good info there.. one x+ rm2099?? dem, expected..

Wow.... Does it come with Nokia drive?

No, it doesn't have Nokia Drive

Not sure whether can install via Windows Marketplace.

my budget is RM1.2k tops for phone, so i left no choice i guess

but when comparing htc 8s vs lg nexus 4 (same price range), its really tough to stick to window phone

i want to try out window phone, but spec wise... cant compare at all

Lumia 820 lo. Same price range with lumia 710

yes you can

the rumour price of 820 is RM1800-2000

totally not mid range price's mid range phone

only can afford htc 8s, but no front camera, 4" only and 512 ram

Actually I doubt nexus 4 will be that cheap, just like nexus 7...end up RM999.

huh? then i can announced nokia is dead

guys found this 8x for 1599...
superbuy.my
is it trust worthy?? kinda fishy to me..
can sum1 confirm by buying one..

never heard this website before... probably can try contacting them first

Superbuy looks legit, its like zalora i think, never bought from them before.

Added on November 16, 2012, 2:55 amHtc 8s is where around 799/899? Htc 8x is 1599/1699. Nokia lumia 820 should be 1199/1299 Nokia Lumia 920 around 1899/1999. Net said it gonna be more expensive then s3. I love the camera pure view floating lens. apps will grow. Think with the flooding of WP8 phones/devices should attract more devs.

This post has been edited by Isx: Nov 16 2012, 02:55 AM

yup i know the nokia maps but i read that this HTC if u buy will not have maps i mean htc maps or something .

8x do have maps.... they're using nokia map

Travel using 2 Nokia . I get screwed up. Winmo map no walking navi. Symbian walking navi need to download. F!

anyone got brought htc 8x? it already sell more than 1 week..but no one reporting here

I just played with an HTC 8x...first of all, the hardware is stupendously glorious. Thin, light, and downright gorgeous, with the soft touch back, tapered body, curved screen, just wow. Makes my Lumia 900 pales in comparison. And no, its not a copy of Lumia, maybe inspired by it, but copy? Far from it.

I'll reserve my judgement on the OS itself, its a demo unit after all.

Good job HTC! Its a solid product.

Where did you play the demo unit at? I wanna go and try it out too haha

HTC 8X Selling at RM1699...

http://www.gsminsider.com/2012/11/htc-wind...n-sales-in.html

You can get it at cheaper prices in GS here.

sorry. GS here?

Sorry, I'm not in Malaysia currently, played with it at a local telco here.

Yes. Do a search and you will find a few resellers selling at below RM1.65k.

there is a demo unit at sunway pyramid at the htc shop, where all the nokia, samsung, istudy shops are located.

Lovely lovely design btw.
