Phone owned for less than a year

The Windows Phone 8X by HTC is a great phone, this evaluation was performed with the updated Windows Phone 8.1 Dev Preview device. The phone has a good performance for everyday, it is very easy to use and has a very good processor for this type of devices. The price needs to improve a bit on the more "luxurious" version but it is very good phone and is provided at the level of many Android phones.

The best in class.

Phone owned for more than a year

In my opinion one of the best handsets in the market.
It's fast, easy to use, with a very appealing design and it feels great in the hand.
The camera is the best I've ever used, with photos with a lot of detail and quality. The new wide angle camera lets you capture even more in the pictures we take.
It´s is the phone that I use at the moment ... i have it always with me! Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

I had the phone for about a month and love it! All the apps that I have on IOS is available. It has an amazing build quality and call quality. However, the only bad thing about it is the battery. It cannot last me a day.
