HTC launches HTC 8X has 4.3 inch display and Beats technology , start selling in November

HTC has introduced the Windows Phone 8X. A name that sounded like a trademark of Microsoft. To understand why this is because the two companies are collaborating to create the campaign launched HTC became the face of Windows Phone 8.

According to the designer by HTC, Graham Wheeler said inspired designed HTC 8X from the Start screen with live tiles and color in Windows Phone 8. HTC 8X will be available beginning in November with 4 main skin color is black, blue, red and yellow. And HTC declined to disclose that the OEM color can be added to this phone or not.

HTC 8X has a 4.3-inch 720p screen "HD super LCD 2", dual-core 1.5GHz chipset, 1GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, NFC support, 4G LTE, 1800mAh battery. 8 megapixel camera with flash and front camera 2.1 megapixel, f/2.0 aperture and BSI sensor for shooting in low-light conditions, with 88 degrees wide angle lens will also work well for forward facing group shots and 1080p video recording . Especially HTC has brought its Beats Audio technology on Windows Phone line. So 8X HTC also supported Beats.


Ultimately, the Windows Phone 8X goes head-to-head with Nokia's Lumia 920. On paper, Nokia's device wins with its camera tech and wireless charging, but having held both I found the 8X more comfortable to use with its smaller 4.3-inch display and curved back. The 8X only weighs 130 grams vs. the 185 grams for the Lumia 920. The difference is noticeable too, something that might disadvantage Nokia against this HTC rival and Apple's iPhone 5 when consumers pick them up in stores.

As for pricing and availability, HTC is taking a different approach to Nokia. HTC tells us that Windows Phone 8 will be launched fully in late October by Microsoft and that it plans to have devices on shelves "within days of that announcement" in early November. In the US the Windows Phone 8X by HTC will be available on AT&T and T-Mobile, and Verizon will also stock the handset. European carriers include Orange, O2 Telefonica, MTS, Three UK, T-Mobile, and Vodafone.

AT&T is planning on October 21 to launch the Lumia 920

The technology site BGR has recently said Sunday October 21 is the release date Nokia Lumia 920. At that time, we have underestimated the rumors because there is no official information what WP8 as well as messages from Nokia.

However, the WPCentral consulted a number of new materials for circulation of AT&T, has actually confirmed October 21 is an important day for the next top phone of Nokia. The language in the documentation clearly uses the word "launch" when discussing the Lumia 920, however there are mitigating circumstances that still makes it hard for us to believe. If we had to play it conservatively, we still may be getting the preorder date.

Unfortunately, due to our agreement with our source, we cannot share the contents of the message/documentation nor whom it was from, but be assured that we know that information and we are confident in its accuracy. Our source of the internal AT&T material had earlier confirmed the Mango-update dates for Windows Phone, which turned out to be very accurate. For that reason, we impart a high level of trust in this knowledge.
We still have reservations about this date only because Microsoft is reportedly not set to unveil all of Windows Phone 8 until the end of October and most OEMs we have spoken with are sticking with their “early November” timeframe for release of new hardware. Just as we originally reported, that gives us pause.

However, if Microsoft could launch sooner, maybe the game will be even more interesting when Apple going to bring the iPhone 5 to consumers. 
Can Microsoft and Nokia (and AT & T) do to surprise us? Let's wait and see.
