HTC Wildfire S Review

CDMA     See other variants reviews Score: 47.7 / 100

HTC Wildfire S is a mid level Android cellphone launched back in 2011, having a medium sized 3.2" display, a powerful processing unit speeding at 600 MHz and a 5 megapixels back-facing camera. But let's get into some more details.

This cellphone comes with a fast processing unit clocking at 600 MHz and 512 MB RAM. Graphic calculations usually uses lots of processing power, so it also uses an ARM Mali-400 MP1 GPU working at 320 MHz to improve overall performance.

This cellphone is a bit thick compared to today's phones, with its 0.56" thickness. This time, it seems like HTC forgot about optimizing the weight in this 3.7 oz device.

This phone is equipped with only a 5 megapixels back camera. This phone can also shoot 720x480 videos at 24 fps. The camera also has auto-focus and flash.

HTC designed the HTC Wildfire S with an average 3.2" display, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , which makes everything look quite nice. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone features WiFi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connectivity, supported by EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone doesn't use a sim card, because it's not a GSM cellphone and it can connect to CDMA carriers.

This phone counts with a medium sized 1230 mAh Li-Ion removable battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. HTC says this cellphone has a 5.8 hours talk time and a 570 hs stand by time.

The HTC Wildfire S also comes with a handful of nice features such as Bluetooth, GPS and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is very overvalued considering it costs 90 dollars, and many similar cellphones can be found for much less money. HTC packs this cellphone with headset, microSD card and guide, travel charger and Battery.
