HTC Desire X review

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 being notable.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • affordable
  • respectable screen size
  • microSD card slot
Cons:
  • There's nothing to get really excited about

HTC Desire X review

When HTC came up with its original Desire in 2010 it had a smartphone watershed moment. The handset was quite lovely. I carried on using mine well past its sell-by date simply because it was nicely designed and its optical trackpad was so clever. I know people who still use the phone.
Pros:
  • Good screen
  • Comfy size for the hand
  • Some nice camera features
Cons:
  • Flimsy backplate
  • Nothing special to look at
  • No real USP

HTC Desire X review

The HTC Desire X is a perfectly decent midrange handset but is let down by its insensitive screen and it doesn't really do a lot to distinguish itself from rivals in this space, like the Galaxy Ace 2 , Sony Xperia P or Orange San Diego .
Pros:
  • Ice Cream Sandwich
  • midrange price
Cons:
  • Screen could be more sensitive
  • sluggish processor
  • not very distinctive

HTC Desire X review

The Desire X is a solid mid-range smartphone – it's not particularly spectacular in any area (except perhaps battery life), but it's not downright bad either. When it comes to buying time, we suspect that the ultimate decider will be the price.

I transferred my Sim to my old dumb phone...

However, my son came for a visit and we managed over three days to tailor the phone to my taste (depart loads of apps!). Now I have smoothly running phone and I love it. Sleek, white, responsive, but it did need experience to start it all off.

HTC promised to release less smartphones in 2012 than it has in previous years, but the company still seems as active as ever. Its latest release is the Desire X, which aims to bring a distinctive style to the pre-paid market.
Pros:
  • Vibrant and bright SLCD screen
  • Solid performance
  • Good value for money
Cons:
  • Some annoying Sense issues
  • No front-facing camera
  • Limited internal memory
