Though HTC has not yet officially released the Windows Phone 8S in the Philippines, we managed to get hold of what could still be an engineering unit. HTC has junked the usual monochromatic earthy tones they used with their smartphones and went color-crazy with their WP8 line-up. The HTC 8S comes in a number of colors and the one we got here is the two-toned Fiesta Red. Both the HTC 8X and the HTC 8S has that new design that isn't within their usual design signature. Aside from the cool color options, the HTC 8S has that smooth rubbery finish in a form factor that's just right on the hands (it has the same screen size as the iPhone 5). The HTC 8S has decent specs but what intrigued us was the 1.0GHz dual-core Krait processor from Qualcomm. However, it's bigger sibling (HTC 8X) is already out in the market and retails for Php28,880. We hope that the retail price of the HTC 8S will be just around Php20k or less. Read more in our articles including "HTC Windows Phone 8S in the flesh!" and "HTC launches 8X, 8S, One X+ and One SV".
