Top Rated Smartphone

Although a lot of news about Windows Phone 8 has been mostly about the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC did a great job with the Windows Phone 8X. It features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor with Adreno 225 GPU and 1GB RAM. Though, 10.12mm thick, the HTC Windows Phone 8X looks thinner because of its unique design.

Like the name suggests, it runs the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 OS with live tiles and Microsoft Office Suites.

HD Display & Camera

The 4.3-inch display is bright and colourful with HD resolution (720 x 1280px, 342ppi). The rear-end camera offers 8 megapixels with full HD (1080p) video recording. The HTC Windows Phone 8X features a BSI sensor for better image capture in low light.

All the usual features of great camera phones are supported like autofocus, geo-tagging, LED flash, image stabilisation, etc. In the frontend there is a 2.1 megapixels ultrawide angle camera with full HD video (1080p).
