HTC
has been going from strength to strength in recent years, with some of the most
innovative and indeed best selling smartphones on the market. Since they teamed
up with Google’s Android software, sales have exploded. The HTC Wildfire is one
of their more popular models.
This was essentially an entry level Android smartphone, but
still contained a spec list which would be the envy of many more expensive
smartphones. Since the success of the Wildfire, there have been several
innovations in smartphone technology; improved internet browsing, updated
Android operating systems, improved screen resolutions and higher resolution
cameras. The HTC Wildfire S is geared to taking advantage of this technology
whilst sticking to the winning formula that the manufacturer came up with in
the original HTC Wildfire.
The HTC Wildfire is one that is very affordable and offers decent features to
users. While it may not be the most high-tech phone on the market, users will
enjoy all of the features that they are given access to. The basic specs of the
HTC Wildfire are slightly different from the newer HTC Wildfire S. On the HTC
Wildfire, the screen size is 3.2 inches and has a resolution of 240 by 320
pixels. The HTC Wildfire S has the same screen size and has a screen resolution
of 3220 by 480 pixels. Each one of the phones has a reasonable resolution, and
both phones will be good enough for watching high-definition videos on.
Some of the other minor changes between the two phones are the processor
speeds, memory and battery life. For the HTC Wildfire, users will have a 528
MHz processor with 384 MB of RAM, and a battery life of 490 minutes of talk
time. The HTC Wildfire S has a 600 MHz processor with 512 MB of RAM, and 350
minutes of talk time. The small changes to the overall functionality of the
phone will make the Wildfire S more capable of handling larger tasks, such as
loading HD content.
Aside from the differences, both handsets come with the renowned HTC Sense user
interface. This allows users to create multiple homescreens which are highly
customisable. The User interface adds somewhat of a second dimension to the
experience of the phone. The added compatibility for widgets is a great feature
that allows users to enjoy the full experience of the phone. Overall, both phones
are great, but the HTC Wildfire S has a more up to date spec list.
