HTC 8x doesn't offer anything extra compared to Lumia 920. Internal amp maybe but where do you need it? Really need it?
Point being, if you want lighter and somewhat physically more comfortable phone, buy 8X. Otherwise Lumia 920. Of course availability and that stuff is different story.
I chose Lumia 920 because:
- Nokia is 100% dedicated to WP. It means rapid responses to bugs, it means nice exclusive apps and so on. They need to excel the expectations and for example with Lumia 900 early wifi problems, they really took agressive approach addressing the problem.
- Camera is good in low light (the most important thing I would say, because almost all cameras today takes decent day-time shots).
- I take videos and too often in loud places (bars and stuff) so rich recording is killer feature
- including OIS to videos => superb I would say
- I like the design. Its timeless. Weight is no issue, why would it be? Only a bit downsize is the size. I would've preferred 4" screen.
- Display. Undisputed champion. Most important for me is CBD for outside use and ability to use it with gloves. But all in all, it doesn't matter what features you like, this display has it
- Navigation. I don't know if the drive+ app is for all wp phones? But with Lumia920 you can be sure the have the best nav
- 32gb out of the box is good. If only 16gb, I would have doubts.
- I like colors, took yellow (8x has also so no decision factor)
- last but not least, I really like to have that wireless charging pillow next to my bed. Always in mornings battery is full. Another place where I might buy one is next to my keyboard at work. People say that plugging the cord to phone is no biggie, but it is because you need remember to plug it.
So, now I am just waiting my yellow Lumia 920 to arrive.
