HTC Windows Phone 8X

HTC Windows Phone 8X price in Malaysia starts from RM400, putting it firmly in budget territory these days given it's a 2012 release. Under the hood is a dual-core 1.5GHz Krait processor on the Snapdragon MSM8960 chipset, paired with 1GB RAM and 16GB storage that can't be expanded. The 4.3-inch S-LCD2 screen runs at 720 x 1280 with around 342ppi, sharp enough for its size, and there's no SD card slot to fall back on if you need more space.

Camera-wise you get an 8MP rear shooter with LED flash and a 2.1MP front camera that handles 1080p video, decent numbers for its era. The 1800mAh battery is modest by today's standards, but the phone runs Windows Phone 8 (upgradeable to WP8 Amber) and still packs NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and LTE support depending on variant.

It comes in four colours: California Blue, Graphite Black, Flame Red and Limelight Yellow. Weighing 130g and just 10.1mm thick, it's a compact handset that fits easily in one hand, though buyers should treat it as a collector's or backup device rather than a daily driver in 2024.
