The HTC 8S appeared about the same time with the HTC one, but aimed at a different target group. It is a Windows 8 phone that really stand out for its rather low price. But what can the smartphone in the test?

For the price it can be assumed that the HTC 8S somewhere has to make compromises – this applies particularly to the screen

The technical equipment of low memory stands out: Inside the HTC 8S work 512 MB of RAM, which goes back to a default by Microsoft. The processor, HTC has opted for an S4 processor from Qualcomm, its two cores clocked at one gigahertz – still knows the speed of the smartphones in the test to convince

.

Even the internal flash memory of the smartphone has been saved: Of the four gigabyte can only use 1.3 GB – after all, is an expansion with microSD card no problem. But here let no apps or games store.

If you want to shoot a lot with his smartphone, HTC is in the wrong 8S canceled: A front camera for video chats is not present, the main camera has a resolution of five megapixels

.

Since it does little that the colors are very vivid and natural act: Because with a magnified image, the noise drops to fast. When shooting in low light with flash the photos shown in the test for a distinct green tinge. After all, the video quality with 720p convinced

!

Overall, the HTC 8S still makes a good impression in the test, especially for the price – especially for casual users can get over the savings. With its battery life in everyday use of eleven hours, the Smartphioe can also convince. Moreover convincing sound quality.
