HTC Explorer Review
Score: 46.4 / 100HTC Explorer is a little bit outdated Android phone released back in 2011, packed with a fast processor speeding at 600 MHz, a 3.2-inches multi-touch screen and a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera.
The HTC Explorer is quite thick compared to today's cellphones, being as thick as 0.51". HTC appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 3.81 ounces cellphone.
HTC sells this cellphone with a good processing unit clocking at 600 megahertz, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A chip with 512 MB of RAM. This device has a mediocre 92,16 MB internal storage, which may be enough for basic users considering it also has a slot for SD memory cards to store songs, photos and videos and even some apps that allow external memory installation.
This cellphone is only equipped with a 3 MP back side camera. It can also shoot 640x480 VGA videos at 19 frames per second. This device also counts with geo tagging.
This cellphone includes a good level 480 x 320 3.2-inches screen, providing this cellphone with a nice graphical experience. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
This phone has a 1230 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming device like this. This cellphone has a reported stand by time of 458 hours and a talk time of 7.7 hours.
The HTC Explorer includes wi-fi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This cellphone also includes a couple interesting characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
HTC sells this cellphone for $ 80, which is not a good offer for this type of cellphone.
