Key highlights of the Windows Phone 8S by HTC
|
Like the HTC One S, the Windows Phone 8S by HTC stands to offer users a similar experience, albeit with a cheaper price tag. Aside its smaller form, the device comes across as a fun, vibrant-looking phone as it comes with a pretty eye-catching two-toned exterior. Otherwise, the smartphone looks very similar to the 8X, down to the position of its ports (save for the microSIM slot). The 8X is what we would call a sleeker and more full-fledged smartphone compared to its smaller 8S sibling.
Other than a removable cap that houses both microSD and microSIM slots, the device also features a contoured back that is finished with a matte polycarbonate non-slip surface.
Like the 8X by HTC, the Windows Phone 8S by HTC seems to share many similarities with its Nokia counterpart, the Lumia 820. Here's a quick specs table to show the differences between the two WP8 devices:
