The Windows Phone\u00ae 8X by HTC\u00ae is coming to Mobile Fun on November 2nd! The flagship HTC phone has been massively upgraded this time around, with impressive specifications and a beautiful unibody design in your choice of four bold colours that’ll match the operating system.<\/p>\n

In terms of specifications, the HTC 8X is the poster-child for the new hardware support in Windows Phone 8. The phone includes a 4.3″ Super LCD2 display at 1280 x 720p resolution and is powered by the powerful Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor. The sim-free HTC 8X backs this up with 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and a 1800 mAh battery. The HTC One X found a lot of success with similar specifications, and I’m sure that they’ll power the fast and fluid Windows Phone OS well too.<\/p>\n

The unlocked HTC 8X<\/a> will also include some interesting media additions. The 8 megapixel rear camera is normal enough, having previously used on the One X, but the front-facing camera is an all-new model with a 2.1 megapixel sensor and a f\/2.0 backside-illuminated wide angle (88\u00b0) lens. The Windows Phone 8X also includes a speaker amplifier that should enhance and increase the sound of the phone’s rear-facing speaker, working with the phone’s Beats Audio integration.<\/p>\n

All of this is shaping up nicely, and looks to be one of the two hottest Windows Phone 8 devices so far, alongside the Nokia Lumia 920 which shares many of these specifications, but has a larger 4.7″ display and lacks Beats Audio integration.<\/p>\n
