HTC 8S Review

Do you want a good smart phone at a price below 20,000? In the higher end segment, there are some devices like Galaxy S3, HTC one X+ and iPhone. But if you not able to spend a more on a phone then your options rather limited.

In the last six months situations are improved a lot in the smart phone market and we have start seeing some adequate android phones that are also affordable.  However, there is no one winner in this market. The room for the best phone under Rs 20,000 is still open. This time HTC is targeting with 8S, the company's affordable Windows 8 Phone.

Does it really succeed? I say yes, but partially the price and specifications are the desirable choice over many android phones that are available in the market. Let we see more details about the device.

HTC 8S is a relatively small in size so that it is easy to fit in pocket and hands, the HTC 8S carries some serious hardware. It is powered by dual core processor running at 1GHz and 512 MB RAM. The device has 4 GB internal storage capacity along with micro SD card support up to 32 GB.

HTC 8S has come up with 5 mega pixel of primary camera and 4 inch screen sports a resolution of 800*480 pixels, The graphics are handled by capable chip called  Adreno 305.

HTC 8S is a combination of effective  hardware, a bright and accurate screen, and the fluid interface of Windows 8 operating software makes HTC 8S a fast phone. This gives it an advantage compared to same price ranged Android phones.

As a HTC 8S user, I find some good specs in the mobile, it is very capable phone call quality was clear and browsing was quite smooth. The camera produces decent shots when compared to all other phones with this price, the phone battery lives around 15 hours on single charge when phone used primarily for doing calls, surfing emails and social networking
