Camera
is the remarkable thing of 8X.
Similar to sound, 8X also inherits from
picture technology that brings HTC’s success on One series type running on
Android. HTC 8X also has 8 megapixel camera Back-side Illuminated sensor with
f/2.0 aperture while iPhone 5 or many other different high-ranking smartphones
only have f/2.4. Consequently, photographs that are taken from 8X will be very
bright and clear. In addition, it can capture figure quickly in situations that
seem to be difficult to other smartphones. Width of main camera’s angle lens is
28mm, so it helps 8X record the wide picture frame. Comparing with One X, 8X’s
camera doesn’t lack fine tuning about ISO by hand, white balance, contrast and
colorful saturation. Users can also use auto focus mode, touching focus or
macro. 8X’s camera application is as quick as One X; however, it is smooth and
has more function than iPhone.
8X helps photographs have good contrast,
its color distance is large; however, details are medium when we enlarge
photographs to 100%. When we raise ISO highly in conditions lacking light,
photograph’s noise is rather high. 8X can take photograph in condition with
good light. But in environment with a lot of lamplight and lacking light, noise
will increase and light source will create lines in photographs that make us
feel uncomfortable.
8X has extra camera in the front part that
has impressed photographing ability. HTC equipped its camera with a camera that
has 2.1 megapixel resolution in the front part and at present its angle is the
largest one. This camera can record video that has the high Full HD 1.080p resolution.
The quality of recorded video is as good as the quality of the back camera of
many high-ranking smartphones in the market.
8X can also use the main camera to record
video that has Full HD 1.080p and HD 720p quality. Quality of video is very
good, smooth and particular. Recorded video file can gain medium picture frame with
29 photographs/second and its capacity is 21MB/second.
Both
main and extra camera of 8X can operate well.
Performance
Windows Phone is different from Android
because race of configuration doesn’t take place to Windows Phone yet. Consequently,
HTC 8X is similar to most of the first Windows Phones, it has configuration
with dual core and uses Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip with speed 1.5 GHz, RAM 1
GB and Adreno 225 graphic.
In process of using Android, sometimes we
see some late or switched phenomena although it has configuration using 4
cores. However, Windows Phone 8 on X8 can operate smoothly and is sensitive in
most of the normal tasks.
However, Windows Phone 8 seems not to be
optimal to some games, so some games have the switched and unsmooth phenomena. For
example, when we use 8X to play Fruit
Ninja game, cellphone will sometimes have late and slow phenomenon in cutting
fruits.
Tested
result on 8X’s configuration
When we use software to evaluate and test
efficiency to test 8X, it also has good result. 12,251 is the result of Antutu Benchmark software (about
configuration) while 918.1ms is the result of Sun Spider (about browser). It
is much better than some Windows Phone models that belong to old generation
such as Lumia 900 or 800.
Battery duration
GSM
Arena technological page used to give tested result that 8X has
rather bad battery. In reality, due to testing, Windows Phone 8 of HTC is a
smartphone that has good battery.
Windows Phone 8 of HTC is a smartphone
that has good battery.
Battery capacity is 1,800 mAh, so 8X can
used in 2 days with many duties such as connecting with 3G network and Wi-Fi
continuously, using Push Mail mode with 2 accounts, setting up overall mode
with Sky Drive, updating Facebook and People Hub. However, with the same
intensity, some other smartphones like One X, One S or Xperia TX can only be
used over 1 day.
