few days back i was deciding to buy a mid range android phone, i had to choose between Galaxy S Duos, Desire X and Xperia J. finally i preferred Galaxy S Duos. main reason not buy xperia was that it was too laggy and for HTC DesireX was that it is not up gradable to Jelly Bean.

attractive design; slim; better display

no hd recording or playback; battery just average and no words on JB upgrade till now

Good spec android set, very thin and light. Set up is pretty simple, had to fiddle about with router config to get it linked to wifi but no real hassle. Good phone all round.

Price; Spec

I was very confused before purchasing the phone as this was my first smart phone. I have never used other smart phone regularly so I am not going to purchase this with any other. I mainly purchased this one for apps and music.

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...

The five-megapixel snapper impresses with a great selection of features and impressive results, unless taking shots in low light. Music sounds better thanks to Beats Audio, although we'd have liked to see more onboard storage.

User-friendly Sense interface; Beats Audio; Lengthy battery life; Bright, colourful screen

Couple of glitches; onboard storage could be better; odd back panel fit; snapper shutter suffers from lag

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's argument that the Desire X is more affordable than the One series is a little bit odd, given that this is a vastly more powerful phone than the HTC One V. But your hands probably don't care about technicalities, or the difference between different flavoured Android desserts: they'll love the...

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.

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.

My phone contract came up for renewal in early December and rather than get a new handset under contract I decided to buy a SIM free phone. After doing a good amount of review hunting online I settled on the HTC Desire X.

this may not be an ideal review to look at before you buy as I have been only using it for a 2 weeks nonetheless this phones a beauty. I was in great doubt before buying this phone but now i realise there was no need for that.

If you own an HTC Desire or Wildfire -- much loved but realistically getting towards the end of its life -- HTC has lined up a fairly affordable mid-range replacement for your beloved 'droid. And it's got slightly more oomph to boot.

The HTC Desire X is a decent mid-range 'droid for people who want a capable phone that doesn't cost the Earth. With a bright 4-inch screen, Android Ice Cream Sandwich and a dual-core 1GHz chip, it's a wise choice for budget-conscious Android lovers.

Good performance from the dual-core chip; Clear, colourful 4-inch screen; MicroSD card slot; reasonably priced.

Plasticky build quality.
