1.2 Product background
Established/Introduced in the market

The Windows Phone 8X was being established in the market in November 2012. It has four types of colour, which is violet, black, red and yellow respectively. The Window Phone 8X is carved from a single shell of polycarbonate (a synthetic resin) with a matt finish. It takes a lot to dent or scratch this curved-cornered case. The phone size is 132.35 x 66.2 x 10.12 mm and is light at 130g, and cushion-shaped, with a fattish 10.1mm bulge at the back housing the battery, tapering to thinner edges.

It will also be equipped with an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera. As far as memory is concerned, the 8X will have 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB storage.

Brand identity for the selected brand

To become a globally recognized brand, HTC broke away from its roots as the ODM smartphone maker known as High Tech Computer Corp. to become the new face of high-end Android and Windows Mobile smartphones. “HTC Innovation” was their slogan, hammering home the idea that HTC smartphones are some of the most innovative options on market. But, as many growing/changing companies choose to do, HTC has changed their slogan. A quick visit to the HTC homepage confirms the new tagline – HTC now wants to be known as “Quietly Brilliant.”

To make it as official as possible, HTC has filed for a USPTO trademark protecting the “Quietly Brilliant” tagline. The new slogan echo HTC’s position as a formidable smartphone maker that doesn’t necessarily need to make the marketing and publicity grabs that we’re used to seeing from Apple and Motorola. HTC really does seem to keep quiet about their brilliant products.
