HTC Windows Phone 8S
HTC Windows Phone 8S is the mid-range WP8 device from HTC. While the HTC 8X is to target the premium buyers, the HTC 8S is more for the youngsters who prefer the mid-range devices that are stylish and trendy. The HTC Windows Phone 8S is the most stylish Windows Phone 8 device yet. That is mainly because of the two tone body and the aluminium unibody design. The HTC 8S is equipped with a capable, but not staggering 1GHz dual-core processor and has Adreno 305 for the graphics processing. The phone is available in India for Rs19,350 which is slightly costly considering that Nokia has a very similar Lumia 620 that is expected to be priced lesser.
