5. HTC Windows Phone 8X

The HTC Windows Phone 8X was one of the first handsets to launch with Windows Phone 8, back in November. It’s bright, it’s light, and it has top-end specs.

We said: 'The 8X has an 8MP camera that shoots well in good light and wider camera than most on the front for better self-shots. It’s a gorgeous, colourful handset and runs the latest greatest Windows operating system.'

Others said: 'The HTC Windows Phone 8X is a beautiful device with a delightful form factor. It is without doubt the best phone that HTC has made and has enough punch to be seriously considered alongside the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S III.' (Justin William, The Telegraph)
