Comparisons Featuring HTC Wildfire S

Short Review

  • The HTC Wildfire S features a compact design with dimensions of 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm and a weight of 105 grams, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 3.2-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 180 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU, and 512 MB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • Battery capacity is 1230 mAh, supporting basic usage but requiring frequent charging due to its limited capacity.
  • The device runs on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) with Sense UI 2.1, offering a simple user experience but lacking modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone is available in several colors, including Black, Silver, Brown, and Lilac.
  • It includes a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, but lacks wireless charging.
  • Overall, the HTC Wildfire S is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks but limited in performance and features.
