Nachdem HTC das neue Windows Phone Lineup heute vorgestellt hat, haben einige Medien natürlich auch schon Hands-ons zu den Geräten verfasst und entsprechende Videos veröffentlicht. Die ersten Medienreaktionen haben wir in dieser News gesammelt - und dabei kommen die Geräte (auch im Vergleich zur Lumia-Serie) gar nicht mal so schlecht weg.
HTC Windows Phone 8X:
It's light. It's thin. The tapered edges of and soft-touch finish of the make the phone easy to hold, though you do feel the edges dig into your palm a little when you grip it. The screen is beautiful. Deep blacks, and eye-popping colors immediately impress upon first glance, especially with the Windows Phone 8 UI in front of you. And the combination of the screens responsiveness, the beefed-up processor, and OS improvements really make for an experience that's fast and fluid.

Ultimately, the Windows Phone 8X goes head-to-head with Nokia's Lumia 920. On paper, Nokia's device wins with its camera tech and wireless charging, but having held both I found the 8X more comfortable to use with its smaller 4.3-inch display and curved back. The 8X only weighs 130 grams vs. the 185 grams for the Lumia 920. The difference is noticeable too, something that might disadvantage Nokia against this HTC rival and Apple's iPhone 5 when consumers pick them up in stores.

At first glance the 8X looks to be a very solid phone from HTC and Microsoft. Some would argue that it's not as pretty as the Lumia 920 that it goes up against, but with a smaller, more pocketable screen, similar features on the hardware front, and a heavy push from Microsoft, we can see why the company is so excited.

Love it or hate it, there's no denying the 8X immediately grabs your attention. In fact, it practically begs to be looked at, and that's to HTC's credit. Carved out of the same polycarbonate that's given Nokia's Lumia line its signature look, the handset feels reassuringly solid in hand -- a sentiment reinforced by its unibody construction -- and fits comfortably while also making a design statement. It's that latter bit that's conspicuously intentional, as the OEM admits to hyper-targeting the style-conscious set with both the lower-end 8S and this premiere line.

HTC Windows Phone 8S:
There's a removable panel at the bottom of the device that provides access to the Micro-SIM and microSD slots, but there's no removable battery. It's slightly lighter (113 grams) than the HTC Radar (137 grams) and the 4-inch boost from 3.8 makes it a nice increment on the previous mid-range HTC Windows Phone. Overall, it might get overshadowed by its bigger brother, the Windows Phone 8X by HTC, but pricing could make it an interesting prospect for some this holiday season. HTC isn't announcing pricing or exact availability, but it says the 8S will be available in early November.

While the colour scheme is likely to impress, the 8S replicates the HTC One S Android fans have already seen. That means it is by no means a shabby phone, but aside from sound and quirky design appeal, it will be the 8X you are after.
Stuart Miles, Pocket-lint
The screen is a pretty underwhelming Gorilla Glass-coated 4-inch WVGA LCD, with a similarly middleweight 5-megapixel camera peering out from the other side. Given that it's looking to be priced closer to the One V than the One S, we're not all that surprised. The phone itself is a good-looking slab, thanks to the breezy color schemes and while the build is certainly solid enough, we'd be hard-pressed to put it in league with the 8X, which felt at home in our hand from the start. The 8S is cocooned in a matte plastic finish, arriving in four different color options -- depending on carrier and territory.
