HTC Corporation recently received the prestigious “red dot award: product design 2013” for the Windows Phone 8X and the Windows Phone 8S, recognizing its high-quality design. One of the world’s largest and most respected design competitions, the red dot design award recognizes HTC’s outstanding and innovative design among its peers.

The Windows Phone 8X and Windows Phone 8S are perfectly sculpted with a dramatic taper making them feel thin in the hand. The devices feature the Windows Phone 8 operating system and boast studio-quality sound with Beats Audio and incredible camera capability.

Our design teams are constantly looking for design breakthroughs to create products that not only look great but also bring our customers the most unique experience.”
