\"\"The price difference on AT&T, between the HTC Windows Phone 8X<\/a> and the Nokia Lumia 920<\/a> has always been somewhat contradictory. The US mobile operator has offered the former in 16GB and 8GB trim for $199.99 and $99.99<\/a>, respectively, while for the latter AT&T requires users to pay $99.99 in 32GB storage trim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering that both smartphones share the same operating system, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8<\/a>, but the Lumia 920 adds more to the equation through an extensive list of exclusive apps and hardware features, like wireless charging, it begs the question: Why is the Windows Phone 8X more expensive? As it turns out, it is not. Well not anymore.<\/p>\n

AT&T has slashed the price of the Windows Phone 8X to $99.99 for the 16GB model<\/a> and $49.99 for the 8GB model<\/a> (both available with a two-year contract), bringing the smartphone in line with Nokia’s Lumia 920<\/a> and Lumia 820<\/a>, respectively, in the price department.<\/p>\n

On a one-year contract, the Windows Phone 8X now runs for $349.99 and $299.99 for the 16GB and 8GB model, respectively, $250 more on top of the two-year contract price. Off-contract the smartphone goes for $449.99 and $399.99 for the 16GB and 8GB model, respectively.<\/p>\n

Prospective Windows Phone 8 users now have a tougher choice in the days ahead, with four smartphone models — the two Windows Phone 8X versions, the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820 — priced competitively against one another, relying solely on their distinguishable attributes to make a difference in the buyer’s eyes.<\/p>\n
