This way you can decide for your self which one of these great phones will stand out as the best for you.

HTC Desire X

The first on the list is the underappreciated yet highly valuable HTC Desire X, the technological intermediate between the once treasured HTC Desire C and the HTC One V. Running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, the phone has a 1650 mAh battery and a MicroSD slot capable of supporting external memory upto 32GB in storage. There is a 5 MP camera with single LED flash in the rear, but no front camera. It cuts down on HTC Sense, an HTC overlay designed to supercharge the device, and possesses a fairly low RAM reflecting its comfortably low price of £215 SIM-free, while also available for free on 24 month contracts starting from £20.50 per month at carriers like T-mobile, Orange, Vodafone and O2.

HTC 8X

The next in line is the HTC 8X, a phone running the elegant up-to-date Windows Phone 8 operating system with an HD display, of 342 ppi pixel density, that’s right at par with the iPhone in terms of clarity. It possesses a brilliant 8 MP camera with f/2.0 aperture providing excellent shutter speeds for taking pictures. The hardware is designed to appear slimmer than it is by skimming the edges and providing a svelte aesthetic. One of its major dealbreakers, however, is its lack of a MicroSD, thereby removing the option of expandable memory and a fairly mediocre battery life. The phone is available at a price range of £29-39 under 24 month contracts of £20-30 per month at Orange and T-Mobile.

HTC One S

Another marvellous handset to the list is the HTC One S, running the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. The phone keeps Sensation’s 4.3 inch screen with and has a qHD display with a pixel density of 256ppi. It lacks good contrast ratios and a MicroSD slot, much like the 8X. The phone comes for free, on a 24 month contract of £18-26 a month at 3 Mobile, Talk Mobile, Orange and T-Mobile.

HTC One X

The HTC One X is another brilliant model, albeit with a few kinks, running Android’s 4.0.4 JellyBean OS on one of the best processors and HTC Sense 4+. It has a 720p HD display on a large 4.7 inch screen and utilizes the Super IPS LCD 2 technology bringing out a magnificent quality to movies and games. The phone has a 1.3 MP camera, a 1800mAh battery, and a storage capacity limited to 32 GB available at a palatable price range of £24-28 per month on a 24 month contract available at Orange, T-Mobile, 3 Mobile, and Vodafone.

HTC One X+

One of HTC’s most highly recommended winners, the HTC One X+ ranks the top of the list, deriving a lot of excellent qualities from its brother handset, the HTC One X, and improving upon its shortcomings. The battery life and storage capacity have been greatly improved, pushing it to the ranking once held by Samsung’s popular Galaxy S3. It possesses the updated Android JellyBean 4.2 OS and it retains its derivative’s minimalistic design. The upgraded phone has a 1.6 MP camera, a 2100mAh battery, a storage capacity of 64GB available for free on a 24 month contract starting at £36 per month at Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, and O2.

HTC’s phones are clearly rising up the ranks of smartphone superiority, even going as far as to claim away the titles held by some of Samsung’s finest. HTC’s range is best suited for Android fans who want smartphones with a fresher design than the long list of Samsung options, and definitely ranks itself as an excellent choice for any smartphone owner. People with bad credit can find mobile contracts that will suite there needs and price ranges so should consider a HTC for there next contract phone.
