HTC Wildfire Review By PhoneArena

Hi, all today we're taking a quick look at the HTC Wildfire here at phone arena. The phone is a budget Android phone from the company, its biggest sacrifice in order to keep the price low. It's, unfortunately, the screen, which is a pity, because it's all touchscreen phone, and it's 3.2 inch not that small. But the resolution is appalling. It's 240 by 320 pixels, which leads to a very low pixel density. Unfortunately, individual pixel count suffers very much and the screen is round by 528 megahertz Qualcomm CPU, which is not that great by today's standards.

The sense the familiar sense, user interface is on top of Android 2.1. Here it will be interesting to see how it will behave, a fairly mid-range, even lower mid-range device. If we forget about these specifications for a second, we see that the design of the device is actually pretty interesting. It feels very solid in the hand, although it's not heavy by any means, it's chromed, all around the volume rocker here the lock and lock and power button on the top there's a standard, audio jack on the top as well. Everything is chromed and looks nice.

The back has this soft touch, coating, which is usually reserved for high-end handsets, but HTC decided to place it on the world far as well. There's this metallic fan that runs across the phone on the back, which is the same color as the screen bezel. The color we have here on this review unit is the same as the HTC Desire. Actually, so it makes it resemble the desire very much, although it strays away from the usual tall and narrow, don't touch screen only handsets lately, it's a bit wider, which makes it almost square Asian, looks and basically disproportionate, which makes the design pretty interesting. The ear speaker grille on the top looks like a BMW grille.

Actually, if it was a little, wider HTC has put their optical trackpad, underneath the screen for capacitive touch and rate buttons, which are easy to press backlit in white, underneath it as well. The phone has a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash which, as you can see here, is almost like a periscope over the back panel, which we can imagine will lead to scratches for sure, but all kinds of worse stuff can happen. That's not a very good design decision, the microUSB port for charging it on the left side. We can see here and there's this curve on the bottom, which is also a very good design. Choice, makes it a very easy to hold and press buttons phone.

Of course. The most interesting thing here is how the Sense user interface and the other applications will behave on 3.2-inch screen at such resolution and coupled to a fairly slow processor. So let's have a look at the user interface on the HTC Wildfire. You see how everything looks a bit stretched it's not only because of the phone's proportions, but because of the low pixel density on the freak point.2-inch screen and the high can I just look jagged as well. Otherwise, the experience is pretty smooth, and it's absolutely the same as in the HTC legend or HTC Desire.

So we're not gonna, be reviewing it much, but it has the helicopter view we find single handsets as well. He doesn't have life wallpapers cause. The hardware combination of the screen and the processor doesn't allow it actually our biggest complaint with this screen and the processor is in the browser. Heavy pages load well and quickly they render properly. But when you try to scroll, the experience is actually pretty choppy.

You see how many frames it skips, because the page is heavy with a lot of pictures. When you double tap to zoom, the experience becomes much more fluid and much more difficult to a capacitive touchscreen Android phone, no complaints here, pinch-to-zoom works. Well, it's just that when you zoom out of the page, then sparkling becomes a pretty choppy experience typing on the HTC. Wildfire is a fairly smooth experience. I mean it's not the fastest of keyboard in terms of lack because of the hardware problem, and also the accelerometer is pretty slow to turn the orientation from portrait to QWERTY.

But oh and all the experience is pretty smooth something that's different in terms of interface from the HTC legend and HTC desire. Here is the camera interface. Here's the menu on account of the fact that you have to pull this pane here, always to switch from camera mode to video mode and vice versa, which is not real comfortable. The camera also doesn't have preset scene modes, although it has a lot of effects that can be added to the pictures, and you can use touch focus phone anywhere on the screen or automatic focus and the optical trackpad. Are you a shutter button? In the end, we are forced to say that there is nothing fiery or wild about the HTC Wildfire, especially in terms of specifications.

It feels pretty under powered on occasions like in the browsers. Calling heavy pages is not a smooth experience, for example, but it has a very interesting design, pretty solid, build quality. We've come to expect from HTC handsets on top of that it has a good battery life, and it's fairly inexpensive. So if you're in the market for a budget, Android handset to start you off with the platform, then the HTC Wildfire is a very good choice. This was a video revealed, h2l fire from phone arena.
