Windows 8 on the new HTC Windows Phone 8X and 8S

Steve Ballmer's announcement in the launch event of HTC's Windows Phone 8X and 8S made the new phones as flagships of Microsoft's new mobile OS.


The new phone from HTC has a colorful and boxy design like the Windows 8 metro start menu to make the look fit better. The buttons and the camera are placed perfectly to accommodate easy-to-use functions. The 8X and 8S are both lighter and thinner than Samsung's Galaxy S3. The soft looking and rubber case makes the phone less fragile compared to the iPhone.

The HTC Windows Phone 8X and 8S does not pack much power like the quad-core powered phones of Samsung and other manufacturers but still does not lack power to run a wide range of apps. Both phones run on Qualcomm's dual-core S4 chips. The 8X runs on 1.5GHz and 1GB RAM while the 8S runs on 1GHz and half the RAM of the 8X.

The 8X has a 4.3 inch screen on a 1280x720 pixel resolution that is clear and sharp. The 8S has a smaller 4 inch screen which is also good. Both phones have nice viewing angles.

Other interesting features are the Beats Audio and the 8MP and 5MP rear cameras for the 8X and 8S respectively. Skype video-calling is also nice because of the tiny 720p capable camera that has a wide view angle.

The new HTC Windows Phone 8X and 8S both have the futuristic feel compared to its competitors which is also a good advantage.
