Two amazing cameras.
The Windows® Phone 8X by HTC® has everything you need in the camera department. The front facing camera is amazing, packing 2.1MP and an f/2.0 aperture, letting you take super sharp images even in low light. It's also got an ultra wide angle lens of 88°, letting you get up to four people in a shoot, even if your phone is only as far away as your arm can hold it! On the back is a feature packed 8MP camera with loads of themes and camera effects that'll give you professional quality images no matter the conditions. With a physical camera button it's even easier to take shots too.
Easier to stay up to date with friends, news and everything else!
With the powerful Windows Phone 8 acting as the software that runs your Windows Phone® 8X by HTC®, you'll have access to Live Tiles. These are square blocks you pin to the homescreen. They're customisable and automatically update in real-time, giving you the information you want. This can be your favourite sports, latest music news, and you can change them too so they'll evolve with you. Have a new friend? Pin a Live Tile on the homescreen to get their latest Facebook™ updates.
Design perfection.
The design of the Windows® Phone 8X by HTC® was inspired by the Windows Phone interface itself, making it beautiful in its simplicity. The curved screen flows seamlessly to the thin, tapered edges. This means that the 8X feels even slimmer than its 10.12mm measurements, and at 130g, it'll shock you how comfortable it is to hold and use.
A stunning touchscreen.
The front of the Windows® Phone 8X by HTC® is dominated by its 4.3" touchscreen. Made using Super LCD 2 technology, it has perfect colour reproduction, giving bright, vivid and realistic images. With a resolution of 720p HD it gives you one of the sharpest screens around – you'll need a magnifying glass to see the pixels! To top it all off it's made from Gorilla® Glass 2, so it's scratch resistant, keeping it protected from the knocks of everyday life.
Powerful on the inside.
