HTC Windows Phone 8X Spec


Recommended Posts

Get a Spotify subscription and then you may stream all your music and 16gb will be good enough :)

I ready have Zune Pass but like to have it on my storage for quick access.

It only has a 16GB storage! It would not be a problem if you can add more but 16GB is not that much anymore with music and photos!

Ehh, depends I suppose. For photos, 16 GB is a LOT. I have the One X and the 8X looks like the exact same camera. It takes pics typically between 2-3 MB, which would mean it can fit 5000+ pictures on it. Are you going to have anywhere NEAR that many? Probably not.

Then I use Spotify, as Ely mentioned, and storage for music is never an issue. I don't know about Zune Pass or how it works, but Spotify lets you download playslists of commonly played music. I've never run into even the slightest bit of an issue with only 8 GB, even with half the space used up with ROMs, more pictures than most people, and a few hundred songs downloaded.

But, if you think that's not enough, then there are definitely other options. I'm good even with 8 GB on my One X though.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that skydrive on WP8 will support streaming music to your phone (and other devices). We already know that Xbox Music will have a cloud locker that will probably use skydrive, so that's another 7GB at least right there, or 25GB if you're like me and got grandfathered in before the change.

Spotify lets you to actually download your music to your local storage for offline/quick access, then you may pick which music you want to stream and which to keep local thus making wiser use of your storage.

I'm very disappointed in the 16GB of storage. I wanted to stay with HTC but with these disappointing specs I will have to go with the ATIV S when WP8 comes out.

Will ATIV S come out for T-Mobile?

    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
