Comparisons Featuring HTC 8XT
Short Review
- The HTC 8XT features a compact design with dimensions of 132.1 x 66 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 120 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.3-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, featuring a dual-core 1.4 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which can handle everyday applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, while the 1.6 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 1800 mAh, providing moderate usage time without fast charging or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8, offering a unique software experience with stereo speakers and a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it lacks 5G support.
- The HTC 8XT is available in a violet color, adding a distinctive touch to its overall aesthetic.
- While it does not feature water resistance, its build quality feels solid for everyday use.
- Overall, the HTC 8XT is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
