HTC bags Red Dot Design Award for Windows Phone 8X and 8S

In an earlier report, we told you how HTC bashed Samsung for what it says is a lack of innovation after seeing what it did during the recently concluded Galaxy S4 announcement. Evidently, HTC thinks Samsung could do away with some of its marketing and perhaps focus more on innovating instead. Well, even though HTC itself could use a bit of advice on the former, at least it certainly knows a thing or two about the latter.
When it comes to industrial design, HTC is one of the best names in the consumer electronics industry. And now its efforts in the said department have finally been rewarded, as the company has just been given the “red dot award: product design 2013″ for two of its Windows Phone-powered handsets, the Windows Phone 8X and Windows Phone 8S.
The red dot design award’s initiator and CEO, Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, said that both the Windows Phone 8X and 8S “demonstrated an extraordinary design quality,” and showed that design is a key element in innovative product solutions.
As a result of them being red dot design award-worthy, both the Windows Phone 8X and 8S will be presented at the red dot design museum in Germany and included in the red dot design yearbook. Now, if only HTC can turn its innovations into not just awards, but also money. Then it would be able to guarantee its own survival to continue delivering more such innovations.
