As a flagship device for Windows Phone 8, the HTC 8X is armed with a host of attractive features and technologies that set it apart in a competitive market.

At the heart of the HTC 8X is its 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 display, sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This screen not only delivers vibrant colors and sharp images but also wide viewing angles. Moreover, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability against scratches and minor impacts. The phone's design is a standout feature, with its unibody construction giving it a premium feel. The sleek lines and vibrant color options – including California Blue, Graphite Black, and Flame Red – cater to a variety of user preferences.

Under the hood, the HTC 8X is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, paired with 1 GB of RAM.
