Audio and Connectivity
The HTC 8XT excelled in audio with its dual stereo speakers, offering a superior sound experience compared to many competitors at the time. It retained the ubiquitous 3.5mm headphone jack, which was valued by audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Connectivity options were varied, including Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with dual-band capabilities, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP support, and NFC functionality, though market-dependent. The phone also featured GPS and GLONASS positioning systems but lacked a built-in radio.
