Add volume to your everyday life with the first Windows Phone with BoomSound™. Take great pictures day or night with a low light camera featuring back-side illumination and f2.0 lens. All built in a smartphone designed to fit your hand and inspire your world.
The first Windows Phone with HTC BoomSound™. On the average smartphone, sharing music or a video with friends is a frustrating experience. A tiny speaker will tame even the most ferocious track. But HTC BoomSound™ changes all that. Dual frontal stereo speakers powered by built-in amplifiers deliver bigger sound with less distortion and more detail.
Developed by HTC’s award-winning design team, the HTC 8XT is built to be comfortable in the hand and pleasing to the eyes. Its 10mm thin construction is tapered on the edges to naturally fit the contours of your hand. Its sleek look is inspired by the HTC design that won the prestigious Red Dot product design award.
Capture entire action sequences with multi-shot burst mode. Simply hold the on-screen camera button for a rapid series of pics that ensure you won’t miss anything. Plus, with back-side illumination and f2.0 lens for detailed photos in low light settings, you can keep up with memory-making moments long after the sun goes down.
You don’t have to worry about running out of memory room with the HTC 8XT. With 8GB of built-in storage, a Micro SD card slot that allows up to 64GB of expandable memory, and an additional 7GB of free SkyDrive cloud storage, you can automatically upload and back up your entire photo gallery.
