 Hey guys this is Tom Warren from The Verge and I'm here today looking at the Windows Phone 8S by HTC. This is a new Windows Phone 8 handset that's coming out in early November. Now as you can see it's fairly colourful from the front here and it's fairly slim line as well. If we look at the top we've got the power button and the headphone jack up top there and down the actual size of the device we've got the sort of normal volume rocker and then we've got the actual dedicated camera button at the bottom there. At the rear of the device there's Beats and HTC branding but there's no sign of any Windows Phone 8 logos. Also at the top there's a 5 megapixel camera. At the bottom you've got the micro USB port and there's a colourful cover that pops off for the micro SD slot. Now this device runs on Windows Phone 8, HTC wouldn't let us look any further than the start screen here. The 8S does include Beats audio and there's an app in the settings menu that allows you to switch the functionality on or off. There's also a notification system for when you plug in a pair of headphones that will allow you to enable Beats audio. And that was a quick look at the Windows Phone 8S by HTC.
