HTC look to have taken some parts from their excellent Android-powered HTC One here. Meet the 8XT. It’s powered by Windows Phone 8 but has dual front-facing stereo speakers, Beats Audio and BoomSound technology like the HTC One. Available from “later this summer” it’ll go for just $99.99 …
I know what you’re thinking. “What am I going to do with the 2 grand in my back pocket?” Well, you could get yourself one of these, a brand new HTC One plated in either Gold for £1895, Rose Gold for £1995 (don’t ask me the difference) or, …
Install Windows Phone 8 on it of course. Before you all get cross I’m kidding here, yes I’d like a Windows Phone version of the HTC One but I doubt it would be better. Neowin have been tipped off by a source that HTC is currently working on …
Ok I’ll admit I got WAY over excited when I heard this and let my imagination get the better of me! Heads up displays, Jarvis voiceovers – maybe even a Stark industries phone – but no, sadly the truth is a little more down to earth. HTC have …
A few people have left HTC recently and now they’re continuing with the re-shuffle. Meet Lorain Wong, she’s going to report directly to Chief Marketing Officer, Benjamin Ho. Wong will be in control of public relations, media and analyst relations and corporate communications. Let’s hope that she can …
The 6″ large phone market is heating up. There are no end of devices due to be released that all have a screen size around about 6″ and HTC are rumoured to be releasing something that will probably be better than the lot of them. Unless you like …
Various retailers are selling off their stock of Windows Phone 8 devices. It’s mainly HTC and Samsung stock as Nokia sales are still strong. You fancy some Windows Phone action? Fancy it it cheap? Fancy catching a HTC in the process? You dirty monkey. Right now Expansys have …
Remember the HTC M4? This looks to be arriving as the HTC One mini and, like the Galaxy S4 Mini, will be a slightly-less-good and slightly-smaller version of the bigger brother. Leaked shots have appeared today, complete with a serial number (doah!) and specs are reported to include …
We’ve already seen a lot of the HTC top brass leave the company, but now the Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Costello, has left too. He became COO in January 2011, so has only been in the position for two and a half years. There definitely seems to be …
Hot on the heels of the HTC One Google Edition announcement yesterday, there’s now the possibility of HTC releasing an official stock Android ROM for those with “HTC Editions”. In comments made to Pocket-lint, a HTC spokesmen was quoted as saying that HTC was “taking a look at …
We thrive on rumours and leaks these days, I can’t sleep some days until I’ve read what someone somewhere thinks some company might release at some point soon. Sometimes though @evleaks on Twitter is involved things are a little different, things are a little more real. So when …
Everyone knew it was coming, and now Sundar Pichai has revealed the phone that everyone has been waiting for live on stage at the D11 conference. It’s the same amazing hardware that everyone has been raving about, minus Sense and plus some stock Android goodness. The model will …
If ever there was a business in need of an analyst it’s HTC right now. It seems that the one who’s taken on the role this time has a rather big gob and has leaked their plans for the next couple of quarters. She’s very positive though! Laura …
Are Samsung fighting HTC and other manufacturers with more than just huge advertising budgets and excellent smartphones? Well, according to Jack Tong, President of HTC North Asia, Samsung are kicking them right in the supply chain. Speaking to the press, Mr Tong mentioned how Samsung, who supplied the …
Where Samsung go, HTC will follow. In a remarkable change of direction, HTC will be releasing a ‘Google Edition’ of the HTC One. This follows almost immediately after Samsung announcing the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. Based on the developer incarnation of the HTC One, the Google Edition will …
As you’ll know, there’s no microSD expansion on the HTC One. Although there’s more than enough internal storage, news that the Chinese version actually does have a microSD card slot has annoyed some. So, HTC have been asked why this is. Many assumed it was a difference in …
Over a week ago we reported that the HTC Facebook phone – the “First” – had vanished from the “Coming Soon” section of the EE website. We reached out to EE about this and, at the time, they told us that they still intended to range the handset …
HTC have apparently sold 5 million Ones, which is quite a lot. Not a lot in comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the iPhone 5 but it is still good. People are obviously buying the HTC One. According to WSJ an HTC executive has revealed the figures …

We already know that the following people have left or are reported to have left.. – Eric Lin, Product Strategy Manager – John Starkweather, Director …
The HTC One is a fantastic handset. It’s the best handset HTC have ever made in my opinion. I’ve always had a very high opinion of the company and especially of the people that work there, but let me tell you, something is very wrong. I’ll admit something. …
A video call isn’t, despite what Apple might tell you, that special. I remember my mate showing me a 3G video call on the Three network a decade ago so being able to see the person you’re calling isn’t a big deal. Well, unless you’re on top of …
Yes, The One is a contender for this years best Android smartphone, and yes, its been stuck on 4.2 since it came out, but there have been rumblings on the interwebs that all that is about to change. @LlabTooFeR, who is an HTC ROM developer happened to let …
When HTC and Facebook announced their device called the ‘HTC First’ EE were chosen as the network in the UK. Over in the USA we’ve seen AT&T possibly can the device so we wanted to see if it was still showing on the EE website. Worryingly it looks …
OK, I’ll admit it. Sometimes I make mistakes. I fess up, it was me who caused the break-up between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Oh wait.. no, sorry. The Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One video I did the other day… that’s it. That’s where the mistake was. …
Let’s strap Facebook into a phone. That’s a winning idea. People will buy that. Everyone loves Facebook, don’t they? Sadly no, according to BGR the HTC First is actually about to be kicked out. LThe “Facebook Phone” is said to be an official flop in the USA. Prices …
The Galaxy S4 or the HTC One? Well, you’ll already have seen the Samsung Galaxy S4 review and our HTC One Review. So, with Mark busy comparing the camera quality and reviewing the S4, I’ve decided to take some shots comparing the phones close-up. You’ll see below that …
Another month has passed and I’ve gone and bought another Otterbox. This time it was for my HTC 8X which I have felt is increasingly becoming likely to be dropped. Only because I’ve had it for a few months now without much protection. Otterbox cases are pretty cool …
In recent months there’s been a keen media interest in two mobile launches,the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One. Handsets like the Xperia Z, the Ascend P2 or the Nexus 4 are also in the running but all eyes seem to be focused on the HTC One …
Yesterday we updated our HTC One with the very latest patches and tried some low-light shots. We compared it against the 13-megapixel shooter on the Sony Xperia T. Both phones had HDR mode turned on during the test. HDR images capture a greater dynamic range between the lightest …
Today the HTC One received an update. Software version 1.29.4.12, which is a 229MB download, is said to update the camera, improve HTC Zoe sound quality, improve Beats Audio and adds system stability tweaks. Let’s wind back the clock because, in February, we posted this article which compared …
HTC are not having a good time of it. With they HTC One they come up with a brilliant handset, trumpet it in a massive fanfare and then realise that they are unable to deliver it Now the Taiwanese company are about to be hit with more …
Samsung and HTC have been mortal enemies for a while, which is a bit David and Goliath, given the size of Samsung, but it looks like Samsung have turned the war dirty. Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission launched an investigation in to reports that Samsung had paid bloggers to …
Don’t you just love a quirky patent application? You know the sort, the ones where you can’t really at home how on earth the pictured image will work in the real world. Well HTC have one such patent application for us. Personally I’d love to see some quirky …
Optical Image Stabiliser systems are built into a number of smartphones to smooth out the video whilst filming. It means that the funny clip of your girlfriend or wife riding around in the Tesco trolley is more like F1 and less like a wobble-cam special. Nirave from UKMobileReview …
The HTC 8X is a great phone. I should know I’ve had one for the last six months and has barely left my side. The only problem with it is that it isn’t made by Nokia. UK online retailer Clove are having a clearout and they are currently …
You know me, I’m honest. Our mobile phone deals section gives us, if you buy a phone, a little kick-back so that we don’t have to ram any more adverts down your throat. It basically looks around the web, getting the best deal, and puts them all in …
If you thought the One would be… One handset to turn HTC’s profits around, you’d be wrong so far. Bloomberg has recently reported that the Taiwanese companies woes still haven’t ended with a new record low of NT$85 million (£1.83 million). Just to put things into perspective, this is its …
We’ve seen the HTC First, an Android-powered device which will be available exclusively on Orange in France and EE here in the UK from the Summer. In the USA it’ll be available from April 12th and across the rest of the world soon after. But hey you lovely, …
