HTC recently announced two new Windows Phone 8 devices, the flagship 8X, and the “mid range” 8S. The company said they would both ship in November, but they failed to say how much they were going to cost. Thanks to the UK online retailed Clove, we now have some pricing data. They’re selling preorders for the 8X for roughly $650, while the 8S goes for a more reasonable $385. Both of those prices include tax by the way. To put those numbers into some perspective, Clove also sells Samsung’s 2012 flagship device, the Galaxy S III, for $750. Apple’s iPhone 5, which launches in the UK tomorrow, starts at $850!

HTC Desire X: Think of it as a low end One V, minus the chin

Yesterday Samsung and Sony announced a plethora of new smartphones. Today it’s HTC turn to show off the goods. According to The Verge, HTC has just unveiled the Desire X. It has a 4 inch 800 x 480 screen, a dual core 1 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera that can’t even record video at anything higher than VGA resolution. HTC isn’t saying how much the Desire X is going to cost, which makes it difficult for us to say whether or not this thing is worth buying. The dual core processor, which is designed by Qualcomm, actually uses two ARM Cortex A5 cores. They should deliver decent performance, but again, without a price tag it’s very difficult to judge this product. We often recommend that a better way to save money when buying a new phone is to simply buy last year’s flagship. Continue reading “HTC Desire X: Think of it as a low end One V, minus the chin”
