Switching from iOS to Windows Phone 8?


Shyla-Johny | Asked  8 months ago | Last response was 5 months ago

I am currently using an iPhone 4s, but it is time for an upgrade, and the upcoming  Windows Phone 8 like the HTC 8X or Nokia Lumia 920 look attractive. I know they do not come out for a few weeks but I am wondering which you would recommend?

Which phone do you recommend for Shyla-Johny?

HTC 8X - $325
Windows Phone 8 |4G|4.3"|Dual core 1.5 GHz
Nokia 920 - $396
Windows Phone 8 |4G|4.5"|Dual core 1.5 GHz

    It's a really close call from all the reviews I have been going through. But just from what I can perceive through a computer screen, the Nokia Lumia 920 simply looks amazing - the minimalistic design, the gorgeous display and the stunning camera. I have been reading a lot about the excellent feel and build quality of the HTC 8X, but I guess that would be subjective. Me? I like my phones to feel premium and solid, and the Lumia does that for me. Factor in the great camera and the onboard memory difference and I think it's an easy call to make (taking nothing away from HTC here - big fan!)

    Both phones are great and have similar specs. I think the Nokia Lumia 920 has a few features that does put it over the top though, its got double the internal storage compared to the HTC 8X. I think the camera features of the Nokia Lumia 920, like image stabilization, are better.

    Both phones are very similar in terms of specs, but I'd recommend the Nokia 920 because it has one of the best smartphone cameras. Besides the fact that it has a 8.7 megapixel camera, it has Carl Zeiss lens and Optical Image Stabilization. This helps it take really good low light images without the blurry-ness.

    Check this link for the comparisons with the top smartphones:

    Other smartphone manufacturers just boast the high megapixel count, but as I've said in other posts, the megapixel count only matter up to a point where it doesn't matter at all. Take the iPhone 5 for example. It has a five-element lens made of sapphire crystal and a Hybrid IR filter, along with improvements in the A6 chip that utilize the camera better. All this helps the iPhone 5 to take better pictures than the 4S, while keeping the same megapixel count.

    The HTC 8X is the Flagship Windows 8 device, if I was to get one it would be the 8X, but these phones are very similar.
