HTC Windows Phone 8X - 16 GB - California Blue (T-Mobile)

About this product

Product Information

A tailored handset backed with stunning display, enhanced audio, and top-of-the-line processor, the HTC Windows Phone 8X from on-contract with T-Mobile is a premier smartphone device suitable for both business and personal use. T-Mobile offers the HTC Windows Phone 8X in California-blue, while other carriers, such as Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T, offer the handset in more subdued colors, such as black and red, and in the infamous Highlighter Yellow. The exterior of the uni-body device is made from blue polycarbonate with a soft-touch finish that feels good in the hands. It is thin at 0.39-inch but is relatively heavy, at 4.9 ounces, when compared with its predecessor. With its gently curved back, the HTC Windows Phone 8X offers a steady grip and slips easily into the pocket. A 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 screen displays a native pixel resolution of 1280 by 720 at 342-pixel density. It displays vibrant images even under direct sunlight. Unlike Samsung III’s AMOLED display, the HTC Windows Phone 8X reproduces accurate colors and has great white balance. HTC claims that at 720p, the display falls into Apple iPhone retina territory as it manages to render the finest details and makes pixels almost invisible to the naked eye. The T-Mobile HTC Windows Phone 8X runs Windows Phone 8, a lively operating system that is easy to navigate. The range of third-party apps on Windows Store has considerably improved, and it has support for most major apps on Google Play. The 8X device retains most HTC apps, including Flashlight, Hub, and Photo Enhancer and Converter. T-Mobile packs it with its own apps, such as Caller Tunes, My Account, T-Mobile TV, Slacker Radio, and 411 and more. HTC Windows Phone 8X makes it easy to uninstall unnecessary apps by a simple long-press, a feature that is also present and most welcomed in most Microsoft and Nokia Lumia phones. Beats Audio, HTC’s premier offering for their contract phones, tablets, and other devices, greatly enhances audio quality by making

    Personally, I wanted a phone with a great processor that I could upgrade. Unfortunately, with T-Mobile, Windows 8 is the best you can expect. Having said that, as a phone with Windows 8, it is the smoothest operating phone ever. Heaven forbid there any issues with this such as water or gravity, I will probably never own another phone. In the end, we own phones for how they help us. This handles every app I need. Minus Microsoft Band, that's it. Perfect display, great camera and a three level flashlight. It does it all. Need a great, well built phone? That's the one.

    why woudl anyone ever buy an HTC 8X

    I'll keep this short. I wanted to try a windows phone. what I found is that there are very few apps that work for the Windows phone base. Waze does not speak out loud. Sonos has no app. Can't find a good golf range finder app for free. And to my surprise, this particular phone can't even be upgraded to Windows 10. so much for buying something on a whim.

  • It was good during it's time

    I used to own this model before but I bought it again as a replacement since the old one has worn out. For some reason, it won't let me set up my Windows account so I was really disappointed that I returned it.
