Just like Nokia, even HTC has got IDEA Design awards for both their Windows Phone 8 devices. HTC 8S Windows Phone 8 device won a gold award whereas HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 device won a silver award for design.
HTC 8S description by HTC,
The Windows Phone 8S embodies harmony between the physical and digital experience for the user. In order to achieve this harmony, the design of the smartphone mirrors the essence of Microsoft ‘s Live Tile: an ever-changing, informational tile at the heart of the interface. This was accomplished by creating a square silhouette that reflectes the thinness and lightness of the Live Tiles. Windows Phone 8S stays true to the Windows Phone design aesthetic with its soft yet square form.Technology has seen a revolution in which intelligent products can now look less serious and be more expressive. This is most apparent in the vivid colors of the Windows Phone 8S. The 8S has a playful twist that brings vivid, bold color to the forefront by showing off a bright color “dip,” giving the appearance of having been dipped in a bucket of paint. This creates stylish color combinations that capture a youthful and expressive demographic.
I feel sad for HTC designers who made HTC 8X and HTC 8S devices. Even though they did an incredible job, due to their company’s focus on Android devices, their work/device got sidelined. What do you think?
