As the first Windows Phone with Beats Audio, the HTC Windows Phone 8 X delivers global connectivity. The handset can function on any GSM/UMTS network in the world, and arrived on the AT&T 4G USPA+ wireless network in the United States on November 10 this year. Launching just in time for the holiday shopping season, the HTC Windows Phone 8X for AT&T recently received an attractive retail price reduction. The handset is currently retailing starting at just the change in your pocket on contract during the Amazon Wireless holiday sales event.
The HTC Windows Phone 8X is available at a discounted holiday price now starting at $39.99.
The handset delivers mobile hotspot connectivity out-of-the-box, and the speeds offered on the 4G HSPA+ network of AT&T are up to 4 times faster than their previous network. The Beats Audio on board the handset delivers a unique power audio amplifier that improves sound reception through the incoming audio signal, and delivers better sound quality to both the 3.5 mm audio jack as well as the handset’s speaker.
Windows phones are popular for those smartphone shoppers who enjoy having a familiar experience that mirrors that of their Microsoft powered computer and laptop. The handset even syncs perfectly with your Xbox gaming console, and the Internet Explorer 10 web browser has been pre-installed. The handset is also NFC (Near Field Communications) capable out-of-the-box, and social networkers can access their Facebook, YouTube, Picasa and Twitter accounts through preloaded applications.
The screen is large and clear, with the 4.30 inch super LCD 2 display delivering a generous 342 pixels per inch. More than 16 million colors are used to create visual displays on the 720 x 1,280 pixel resolution screen, and Corning protects the ATT HTC Windows Phone 8X 4G display with a scratch resistant layer of Gorilla Glass 2. That touchscreen supports standard multitouch, capacitive gestures.
An above average talk time of 11.3 hours is provided from a single charge of the 1,800 mA battery on board the HTC Windows Phone 8X, with standby time running approximately 12.1 days. The handset is powered by a speedy dual core 1.5 GHz CPU which is part of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960 chip set found in the hardware package.
