With better technology, today’s 4G smartphones deliver an average of 10.0 hours of conversation from a single charge, and the AT&T HTC Windows Phone 8X outdoes the typical performance by 50%. This increases your portability and independence from a charger, and the phone is offered in unique and bright color options. Arriving on the AT&T 4G HSPA+ network in the United States on November 10 of last year, the phone recently received a substantial price reduction. At the Amazon Wireless store the phone can be purchased for just one penny on contract.
The HTC Windows Phone 8X is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $0.01.
Delivering Beats Audio sound enhancement, the AT&T Mobile Hotspot service and a True HD display in a slim form factor are also present. Measuring just 0.40 inches (10.1 mm) in profile, the Windows Phone 8X is also lightweight compared to other 4G smartphones. The phone weighs just 4.59 ounces (130 g), and offers a large 4.30 inch screen. Both resolution and pixel density runs high, at 720 by 1,280 pixels and 342 ppi respectively, with the phone’s display boasting more than 16 million individual colors.
Corning has added a layer of scratch resistant and protective Gorilla Glass 2, and special light and proximity sensors help conserve battery power and deliver up to 15.0 hours of talk time from a single charge. A dual core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU joins an Adreno 225 graphics processor, 16 GB of onboard closet space and 1.0 GB of RAM memory in the handset’s hardware package, which has as its anchor a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 system chip. Both front and rear cameras deliver extra-wide 88 degree video and image capture, and that front chat cam designation delivers nearly three times the width capture of the typical front facing smartphone camera.
The chat cam on the Windows Phone 8X can also provide video and Skype call support. With a dedicated shutter key and the exclusive HTC ImageSense technology, the rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder provides an extensive special effects package and extra-fast capture speeds. The wide-angle f/2.0 lens allows for video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, while low-light functionality is excellent thanks to the above-mentioned lens, a back illuminated sensor (BSI) and LED flash.
