Windows 8<\/a> is coming out with a roar. First Samsung surprised everyone with the Ativ<\/a>, followed by a major announcement from Nokia<\/a> and Microsoft to introduce the Lumia<\/span> 820<\/a> and<\/span> 920<\/a>. Then, HTC announced yesterday that th<\/span>e 8S<\/a> and<\/span> 8X<\/a>, its Windows 8 phone, are set to drop in November. Three features emphasized by Nokia at the release on September 6 were the camera<\/span>, City Lens<\/a>, and the wireless charging. The Nokia 920 features a floating camera with image stabilization while the 820 features an 8 MP Carl Zeiss lens. Wireless charging is built into the 920, but it’s also available as an easily swappable backplate for the 820.<\/span><\/p>\n

HTC also has three spotlighted features: the 8X camera (the 8S lists the battery instead), the design, and the built-in amplifier optimized fo<\/span>r Beats Audio<\/a>. We’ll follow up soon with reviews as we get to test the handsets, so until then, here’s a spec breakdown of the Nokia and HTC phones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
