HTC 8XT Review

Score: 61.4 / 100

HTC 8XT is a little bit outdated Windows Phone 8 phone released in June 2013, packed with an extremely fast 1.4 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, a 4.3" capacitive screen, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.6 mega-pixels front-facing camera. Let's take a better view of what this cellphone can do.

HTC decided to design this phone using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930 system chip, holding a very powerful Dual-Core processor clocking at 1.4 GHz and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit low for a phone of this quality. Graphic rendering usually uses lots of processing power, so this cellphone counts with an Adreno 305 graphic processing unit running at 450 megahertz to improve overall performance. The HTC 8XT has aquite big 8 GB internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing the user to install hundreds of applications without any problem.

This time, it seems like HTC decided not to care so much about the weight in this 4.94 oz phone. Being just 0.39 inches thick,this phone is incredibly thin and comfortable. Regarding its aspect, this cellphone is mainly created with Plastic.

HTC designed this phone with a nice 4.3 inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes it hard to see the pixels that compose the screen.

The HTC 8XT provides wifi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance connection type and 3G internet connection, using EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect to CDMA carriers.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.6 MP front facing camera. It can also shoot 1920x1080 Full HD videos. This camera also has a few interesting features: flash, auto-focus, geo tagging and fast burst mode.

The HTC 8XT also includes a couple interesting features such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The HTC 8XT packs a good 1800 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate use.

This cellphone is priced around 249 dollars, which is a high price for this type of cellphone. No matter if you will use it mainly for social networks, will use this cellphone to play tons of games, are looking for a cellphone for work or are a photography fan, you will probably love this device.
