  • Solid performance
  • Good value for money
Cons:
  • Some annoying Sense issues

  • Limited internal memory

HTC Desire X review: one last hurrah for a former flagship?

We liked the idea of HTC doing away with its confusing approach to phone releases, and seemingly random naming convention (Sensation? Explorer?). So, we're still a little curious as to why the Desire brand lives on.

  • Nice look and feel
  • Vibrant display
  • Sense should please owners of previous HTC handsets
  • newcomers to Android
Cons:
  • Dated specifications
  • Occasional performance glitches
