Right now, Microsoft is investing hard on the mobile industry. In technology IFA 2012 Samsung showed off its new Windows Phone 8-model Samsung Ativ. Somewhat later presented the Nokia Lumia his models 920 and Lumia 820.
Now is the turn of HTC. But here are the conditions a little annorluda. Windows Phone 8 phones the company unveiled Wednesday is namely the first signature models from Microsoft.
Earlier in the day got Mobil.se opportunity to look at the two devices.
The largest of the models will be Windows Phone 8X by HTC. This unit is adorned with a Super LCD 2 screen measuring 4.3 inches. The resolution is at 1280 x 720, which means a pixel density of 341 pixels per inch.
phone is equipped with second generation Gorilla Glass to withstand heavy applications. The viewing angle was good, but because we were not given the opportunity to test the phone in more detail is difficult to make a definitive statement. The same applies to software. We were simply not see enough to be able to determine how Windows Phone 8X (and Windows Phone 8) stands out in comparison to its competitors.
phone measures 132.35 x 66.2 x 10.12mm and weighs 130 grams and will be available in several colors: California Blue, Graphite Black, Flame Red, and Limelight Yellow. However, this is uncertain whether Windows Phone 8X will be available in all these colors in Sweden. Having known on Windows Phone 8X by HTC (which will henceforth be called Windows Phone 8X in the text), we found that it feels unusually light in the hand, yet provides a well constructed and solid impression. The body consists of a unibody shell is constructed of polycarbonate. The material is slightly dull and does not feel shiny in the same way as the body for the HTC One X consists in. You have no way to remove the back cover on Windows Phone 8X, and therefore can not replace the battery yourself.
Windows Phone 8X is designed with a so-called pillow design. This means that the phone has a curved shape with thinner sides and a thicker base. This design allows the phone has a good grip.
device runs on Windows Phone 8 operating system. During polycarbonate shell spins a dual core Qualcomm S4 processor with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz. The phone has a working memory of 1GB, and the storage memory of 16GB. The device lacks a microSD card, but according to HTC, Microsoft will offer cloud storage for those who need additional storage space.
Windows Phone 8X is equipped with a main camera of 8MP (f/2.0, autofocus, LED flash, and BSI sensor), and a dedicated camera button. On the phone we find the same sort of Image Chip today’s top model HTC One X. However, it lacks Windows Phone 8X features such as Photo Burst. Besides capable phone also record moving images in 1080p resolution and stereo sound.
froten of the device is a video call camera of 2.1 MP. Interestingly, the camera can take pictures at 88 degree angle, which should make it easier to get even with the surroundings of the person holding the phone to take a photo or video call.
phone has almost all the connectivity you could want: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Wi-Fi a / b / g / n, micro-USB 2.0 – and NFC. Like many other models from HTC Windows Phone 8X equipped with Beats Audio. In order to optimize your audio experience from the built in speakers have used a micro-drill to create each individual sound holes in the speaker part.
In terms of battery life, Windows Phone 8X equipped with a battery of 1,800 MAh. The phone is expected to be dragged in Sweden in late October, but at present there is no suggested retail price.
Turning instead looking towards Windows Phone 8S by HTC , we find a slightly smaller (dimensions: 120, 5 x 63, 10,28 mm) and less expensive piece. The screen measures 4 inches and is of type super LCD. Although this model has been chosen to produce the screen in Gorilla Glass glass. The phone will be available in several different colors. A utmärkade design feature is that the bottom part has a different color than the rest of the phone.
Windows Phone 8S by HTC ( which will henceforth be called Windows Phone 8S in the text) is driven by a dubbelkärning Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor (1GHz) with a RAM of 512MB. Furthermore, the device has a storage memory of 4GB, but unlike Windows Phone 8X, this model is also space for a microSD card. The device has a battery with a capacity of 1,700 MAh, but then we have not been able to test Windows Phone 8S it is difficult to estimate how clear a day of normal use of surf, music, movies, and more.
On the back we find a main camera of 5MP (f/2.0, autofocus and LED flash), which can also be used to record moving images in 720p resolution. Just like big brother 8X Windows Phone 8S a dedicated photo button. However, there is no video call camera on the front.
Even cheaper Windows Phone 8S have it in HTC contexts renowned Beats Audio logo on the back. However, not the headphones that come with the phone turned Beats-enabled.
Windows Phone 8S will be released in November. Prices are expected from HTC soon.
