Editorial report

HTC Wildfire E technical sheet

The HTC Wildfire E suits people looking for a basic phone for calls, messaging, and simple browsing, provided they can accept a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 3,000 mAh battery trails most contemporaries, and performance is among the weakest of that period. With 2 GB of RAM and a Unisoc SC9863A processor, it is built around modest hardware.

The 5.45-inch TFT LCD display has a 720 × 1440 px resolution and 295 ppi density, below that of most phones of its time. Weight is a bright spot: at 160 g, it is lighter than most. There is 32 GB of storage, with expansion available for keeping more files on the phone.

The 13 MP rear camera records 1080p video and includes autofocus, HDR, and an LED flash. Its f/2 aperture is less bright than that of most phones of its time, and the camera overall is below average. Connectivity includes LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, microUSB, and Dual Nano-SIM; connectivity as a whole is worse than most.

Overall, the HTC Wildfire E is among the weakest phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 3.0. It is best suited to basic needs for those willing to live with limited hardware and a modest battery.
