This is a fast phone. Dual core processer 1GHZ. I like the non slip back of the HTC desire X. The camera is great and top quality. Screen is good and can still be seen under the sun. Battery under a good thrashing can easily go past a day.

Until recently, HTC had given its Desire range of smartphones a mini-break, and put more of its focus on the One series. But now we have the HTC Desire X , the first Desire handset to appear since the Desire C earlier this year. Read: more smartphone reviews .

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.

Low price; Vivid screen; Compact design

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

Samsung Galaxy S2 – Samsung's second Galaxy S phone has been superseded by the S3, but still packs a wealth of features. Its advancing age means it's now available on some very cheap contracts.

Dual-core; ImageSense camera; HTC Sense 4.1 UI

Plastic body; Launching with older Android 4.0 OS

Similar to some of the other HTC phones I've reviewed recently, the specifications on the HTC Desire X won't blow you away, but they aren't too shabby either. The dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon S4 processor provides plenty of horsepower, so running through apps and swiping through screens for the most...

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.

Vibrant and bright SLCD screen; Solid performance; Good value for money

Some annoying Sense issues; No front-facing camera; Limited internal memory

Didn't you get the memo? Android phones are getting bigger: first the 4.7-inch HTC One X, now the 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It's the law. At least, it certainly seems that way, which is why the more compact, 4-inch HTC Desire X comes as a breath of fresh air, just in time for those upgrading...

While the absurd Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note sales numbers have shown there's a big market for even bigger phones, they're not for everyone; The HTC Desire X is a much more manageable size, with a screen you can actually cover every corner of with one hand, It's still running much the same...

While the HTC Desire X is more than fast enough for all but the most hardcore users and 3D gamers - more so in fact than the HTC One V; which is odd since that's meant to be a classier phone - its specs aren't cutting edge.

This could be a great competitor the the Galaxy Ace range...HTC needs market this phone right to make it a success like the Galaxy Ace; I've seen so many 3 Network adverts for the Galaxy Ace, thats why it was such a success.

SD Slot; ICS; Price (Maybe

Nothing Yet

12 months ago, HTC pledged to slim down its product offerings and only focus on hero handsets. Despite that promise, the handset maker seems to be camping on most of the alphabet for its current set of products. One of them is a top-end pre-paid handset: the HTC Desire X.

HTC's Desire series recently welcomed a new member to the family, the Desire X. This phone has a 4" LCD screen, a 5-Megapixel camera, a 4 GB internal memory (with 25 GB free cloud-based storage via Dropbox).
