amazon HTC Desire X reviews
Design
HTC Desire X has the form almost HTC Desire V. The whole structure looks as monolithic body but plastic back cover is removable. Removable back cover brings two advantages is the removable battery and memory card slot (swappable), for capacity expansion as needed.
Generally, the Desire X is the phone has a nice design, characterized by HTC with the edge beveled, rounded corners and fake metal contoured look around. However, the biggest advantage in the design of this phone are 118.5 x 62.3 x 9.3 mm size well-suited to use with one hand. Meanwhile, the area of the 4-inch screen is not too small to surf or play games entertainment.

However, speaker slot of Desire X is a series of small holes similar to the One series phones (HTC One S and HTC One X).
Underneath the front screen are three touch keys familiar HTC (Back, Home, and key recent opening applications).
Despite the back plastic shell feels comfortable, but apparently it quite easily scratched. After a week of use, I found a few minor scratches. Although the notice scratches must see but if long-term use, you should probably purchase case to protective. Area analog cameras designed Desire V.
The layout of ports and controls are also popular in the HTC phones. The right side is the volume control button and micro-USB port for charging and data exchange with the computer is placed on the left side. The Power button is located in the middle of the top edge machine but its location is not very convenient to work with one hand. Bottom edge gateway machines without any button except small microphone hole.
Inside the back cover plate is removable battery 1650 mAh capacity, microSD memory card slot can removable even when the phone is switched on.
As a mid-range smartphone Desire X should have relatively small internal memory, 4 GB and the actual space for users to store application / data only than 1.1 GB.

In addition to supporting the memory card slot, users Desire X will also get free 25 GB online storage on DropBox service during two years like many other phones of HTC.
