The HTC Wildfire E Plus is HTC's latest entry-level 4G smartphone, launched in Russia with a large 6.5-inch display and a massive 5150mAh battery — delivering solid everyday value at a budget price point.
HTC Wildfire E Plus: Price and Availability
HTC has priced the Wildfire E Plus at 7,990 Russian Rubles (approximately Rs 11,000), making it one of the more affordable 4G handsets in its segment. The phone is listed on Russia's e-commerce platforms and is available in a single Black colour option. At the time of writing, HTC has not announced plans to bring the HTC Wildfire E Plus to the Indian market.
Display and Design
The HTC Wildfire E Plus sports a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a waterdrop notch that houses the front-facing camera. The large screen makes it well-suited for streaming videos, scrolling through social feeds, and reading articles on the go. Weighing 190 grams, the handset has a reasonably compact footprint for a phone with a screen of this size, making it manageable to hold with one hand for most users.
Performance and Software
Running on Android 12 Go Edition, the Wildfire E Plus is optimised for devices with modest hardware. Under the hood, it is powered by a MediaTek MT6739 processor paired with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The Go Edition of Android ensures the operating system runs efficiently within these constraints, keeping the experience smooth for everyday tasks like messaging, browsing, and social media.
Camera Setup
On the rear, the HTC Wildfire E Plus features a dual-camera system: a 13-megapixel primary lens assisted by a 5-megapixel secondary lens. The dual arrangement allows for depth sensing alongside standard photography, suitable for portrait shots and close-ups. For selfies and video calls, a 5-megapixel front camera sits within the waterdrop notch. This camera configuration covers the essential photography needs of budget-segment buyers without overcomplicating the hardware or inflating the price.
Battery and Connectivity
One of the standout aspects of the Wildfire E Plus is its 5150mAh battery, which should comfortably last through a full day of mixed usage. Charging is handled via a 10W wired charger through a USB Type-C port. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, covering all the bases for a budget smartphone buyer. The retention of a 3.5mm audio port is a welcome decision for users who prefer wired earphones over wireless alternatives.
