HTC Desire X

 

A mid-range Android phone for those who can't quite afford an HTC One X.

Neat, slim design, Decent screen

No front-facing camera, Mediocre main camera, No HD video capture

HTC Desire X review

 

Yet another mid-range HTC smartphone

Low price ; Vivid screen ; Compact design

Average specs ; Lower RAM ; Cut down HTC Sense ; Flimsy back cover

You may have been mistaken for thinking that there wasn't really a gap between the HTC One V and the HTC Desire C, but you'd be wrong, as the HTC Desire X forces its way between the two handsets.

HTC Desire X

 

The HTC Desire still has a place in our hearts: it was a phone that really shook things up. It impressed us with what Android could do and what HTC could do for Android. It was our hottest phone of 2010, with HTC top of the mobile pile. The HTC Desire...

Compact, affordable, respectable screen size, microSD card slot

There's nothing to get really excited about

The HTC Desire X falls into a space between the HTC One V and the HTC One S, but is more restrained in its design. There are some points where the Desire X has been squeezed on the spec sheet: the lack of front facing camera and limited HD support...

Hands-on: HTC Desire X review - Pocket-lint

 

The HTC Desire X is the company's latest smartphone and one that sits slightly below the recently launched One V but above the HTC Desire C. Pocket-lint

HTC Desire X Review: In Depth

 

The HTC Desire X is arguably the first true successor to the original HTC Desire. Bearing the same name, it improves upon the Desire and Desire S in every way, bringing the line up to speed two years on.…

Great build ; Fantastic camera ; Quick to use with good battery

No front-facing camera ; Limited RAM

HTC Desire X review

 

Although HTC has returned to the Desire range, you'd be forgiven for confusing the Desire X with the HTC One S. From the front, they look about identical with a recognisable clean and rounded look that's now synonymous with HTC smartphones.

The HTC Desire X is a reasonable smartphone, but nothing more. It will serve you perfectly well on a day to day basis, but there's distinctly no frills attached. Those looking for a more exciting device will want to look elsewhere.

HTC Desire X review

 

Looks to repeat the success of the original Desire

Great screen, nice design, fast for a mid-range phone, good battery life

HTC's Sense user inteface is frustrating, not capable of recording HD video

The HTC Desire X is a great little handset. It's not groundbreaking, but it's sure to appeal to those after an easy-to-use, attractive, affordable handset.

HTC Desire X review

 

Can HTC's latest budget-friendly Android smartphone with its Snapdragon S4 chip, fend off the competition from Motorola's Atom-based Razr i handset?

The Desire X is a well-built handset, but one that has been planned out to a definite budget and not optimised for business use. The low-resolution rear camera and lack of front-facing camera can be overlooked, but its lack of processing power can...

HTC Desire X

 

Not everyone has the budget for, nor the Pierre Spies-sized hands to work on, the high-end Android models. HTC provides a decent mid-range offering in the form of the Desire X.

HTC's Sense skin is the best in the business; Sleek, stylish and unobtrusive; Decent performance, fast when it needs to be.

No 720p video recording; No dedicated camera button.

HTC Desire X review

 

Stepping into the slightly worn shoes of the original HTCDesire comes the Desire X, with a flurry of improvements fornot much in the way of extra cost.

Ice Cream Sandwich, midrange price

Screen could be more sensitive, sluggish processor, not verydistinctive

The HTC Desire X is a perfectly decent midrange handsetbut is let down by its insensitive screen and it doesn't really doa lot to distinguish itself from rivals in this space, like the Galaxy Ace 2, Sony Xperia P or Orange San Diego.
