HTC Wildfire S Features

The HTC Wildfire S was recently launched in India for Rs. 14,700 and is a successor to the original Wildfire that was launched last year in August in India. The original Wildfire was a pretty good phone that was built well and had good features but was let down by a poor screen and camera. Now that the Wildfire S is here, let's see how it improves upon the formula.

1. Display: The Wildfire S now has a screen with 320x480 pixels as compared to the Wildfire's 240x320 screen. This means more pixels which will means a better looking display. However, the color output has gone down to 256K colors from 16M colors and the screen size remains the same at 3.2-inches.

2. Hardware: The Wildfire S is clearly a more powerful smartphone with a 600MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. The Wildfire had to suffice with a 528MHz processor and 384MB of RAM.

3. Operating System: The original Wildfire had launched with Android 2.1 (Eclair) and was later upgradeable to Android 2.2 (Froyo). The Wildfire S comes with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which adds a bunch of new features including an overall smoother experience and better text input options.

4. Multimedia: While there isn't too much of a difference in the multimedia capabilities of the two phones, the Wildfire S does provide out of the box XviD support which the Wildfire lacked.

5. Price: When the Wildfire first launched it was priced at Rs. 16,590 and the price gradually went below the Rs. 15,000 mark and now stands at about Rs. 11,500. The Wildfire S has a launch price of Rs. 14,700 which puts it comfortably within the realm of a mid-range smartphone.

HTC new Android mobile Widlfire S launched

There are number of Android base mobile phone launched in the Indian mobile market. The HTC Wildfire S is another mobile phone that has already been launched in the Indian mobile market. The HTC Wildfire S price in India is Rs. 14, 700.

The HTC Wildfire S has made its official debut, the updated version of HTC’s entry-level Android smartphone. Now running Android 2.4 Gingerbread, the Wildfire S loses some of its predecessor’s bulk – as well as the optical trackpad – but gains a new, HVGA display that should boost compatibility with apps in the Android Market.

Otherwise the spec sheet looks much in line with the original Wildfire; HTC is describing the Wildfire S as an “evolutionary” update, in no small part to maintain the smartphone’s low entry price. That means no front-facing camera or NFC, either, though HTC Sense is still present. The CPU is a 600MHz Qualcomm single-core, paired with 512MB of RAM and ROM, though you do get WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0. The rear camera is a 5-megapixel unit with auto-focus and flash.

Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed, though HTC says to expect the Wildfire S in late Q2 2011. We’ve already had Vodafone UK confirmation that the carrier will be ranging the smartphone.
