HTC has unveiled two Windows Phone 8
handsets at an event in New York which it intends to
promote the 8X, which features a 4.3" (10.9cm) display, as its flagship
device alongside the Android-powered One X.
The HTC devices have a design based on the Windows Phone Live Tiles and will come in colors including "California blue," graphite black, flame red, and "limelight yellow."
The firm is also offering a smaller
8S model with a 4" (10.2cm) screen.
HTC's share price has fallen more
than 50% since February after the firm experienced weak sales of earlier models
despite positive reviews.HTC said the 8X would launch in 50 countries in early
November across 126 mobile operators, while the 8S would be available in 52
countries with more than 146 operators.
This comes after Nokia unveiled its
smartphones powered by Windows Phone 8, Microsoft's upgraded mobile operating
system that aims to compete with Apple's iOS used on the iPhone and a multitude
