Capture your greatest moments with this ultra-wide-angle, front-facing camera – perfect for self-portraits and full-screen Skype calls. And if it’s dark outside, don’t worry. The built-in f2.0 lens, back-side illumination (BSI) and ImageChip ensure that photos turn out well in any light. Add exclusive Beats Audio and a brilliant display optimised for varied lighting and viewing angles, and you have a phone that’s bursting with life.

The HTC Windows Phone 8X is the flagship Windows 8 phone from HTC and it is a very nice device. The 8X has 16GB of onboard storage and does not have any kind of expandable storage option, which puts this device at a disadvantage vis-à-vis the Lumia 920 and the ATIV.  The screen is 4.3”, which is great, and the device carries a 720p resolution.  The camera is the same as on the related Android device and has a great reputation for quality.  The 8X also has an amplifier and Beats Audio to help with music performance.  The battery is not removable.

And here is the 8X with its baby brother the 8S.
