When deciding on the choice of a smartphone for purchase, many of us first of all pay attention to who is its manufacturer and whether it can be trusted.
Today our review is presented by the smartphone HTC Wildfire R70. Let's consider it from the point of view of its main characteristics, which, in our opinion, represent its main attractiveness for the consumer.
Before considering the mobile phone itself, let's get acquainted with its manufacturer.

Today this Taiwanese company is known to many because its products are widely distributed in the electronics market. 90% of consumers note the reliability and quality of the purchased product. Let's look a little at the history of the company.
The year of foundation is considered to be 2001. Then, HTC created communication tools, including mobile computers, not on its own behalf, but for third-party companies. Since 2006, the company's management has decided to manufacture and release products under its own name. After 4 years of its independent activity, the company took 31st place in the ranking in terms of the volume of innovative ideas released into reality. And a year later, in comparison with its loud competitors, the company moved up to 77th position. And this is in comparison with brands around the world.
HTC partners are Google and Microsoft. Agree, an impressive collaboration. In tandem with the latter, a 3G mobile device was created, which became the first of its kind and bore this miracle the name HTC MTeor. In collaboration with Google, they managed to create a Nexus One smartphone that ran on the Android operating system.
At the end of 2017, HTC became fully owned by its partner - Google. Since then, all smartphones produced were manufactured at the factories of their previous owner, but bore the name of the new one.
Since 2018, the HTC brand has been operating as a priority in the field of virtual reality, releasing helmets of the same name. Note that the company is doing very well in this area.
To date, the company has undergone and continues to endure many difficulties associated with both the personnel side and the material side. But the leadership assures us about the unwillingness to give up and continue on our way. This manifests itself in the development of new products that we periodically observe. Recently HTC presented us with a new smartphone model, which we are going to review below.
This model is a budget smartphone. The official start of sales is announced in March 2024. The main advantages of the sample were:
Let's analyze in detail the main characteristics of the model.
Manufacturers have chosen the type of case from the most popular (sliders, clamshell), the classic version is a candy bar.
In terms of its height and width parameters, it has quite impressive dimensions - 16.3x7.8 mm. If we talk about thickness, the larger the smartphone, the less its thickness should be. This is due to the convenience of its use. Here, the case thickness is 8.9 mm.It does not quite meet the requirements, but you cannot argue with manufacturers.
By weight, the smartphone is very light and does not even reach 200 grams, or to be precise - 189. The entire body is made of plastic. For the color scheme, it was decided to stick with 2 colors, black and blue. Combinations of several colors are not provided.
This parameter is responsible for the prompt processing of all programs and data that are either already in the phone or are being sent to it. In this model, the processor is named MediaTek Helio P23 MT6763. It is important to keep in mind that the name of the processor is assigned by the manufacturer, not the creator of smartphones.
The clock rate is 2000 MHz, which tells us that the processor core can perform 200 million operations in one second. Not a bad indicator. By the way, according to this parameter, HTC Wildfire R70 is ranked 28th in terms of processor speed. Let's talk about the processor core. It is the dominant element that performs all computational commands. The more its quantity, the faster the phone works. But it is worth noting that along with this speed, the battery charge also decreases. This smartphone contains 8 cores.
In addition to the main processor, there is also a graphics processor. He is responsible for rendering the screen. Required when watching videos and playing games. Also, it bears its name - ARM Mali-G71 MP2.
At this point, things are very optimistic. Let's move on.
Let's start with RAM. It allows you to store data. The volume of this parameter directly affects the amount of information storage and the speed of its processing. The more RAM in the phone, the more programs can run in accelerated mode. The volume of this parameter in HTC Wildfire R70 is only 2 GB
To help the operational, the smartphone has built-in memory. Its volume affects the size of incoming media files, applications and other information. For those who are not averse to playing an interesting toy and are constantly looking for new ones, or you just love to take photos and videos in large quantities, built-in memory is simply necessary, and the more its volume, the better. This parameter is here expressed as 32 GB.
Another way to increase space on your phone is a memory card. Not all smartphones have an additional slot for it. But in this sample it is present.
Summarizing this point, we note that the amount of memory in the smartphone will satisfy any wishes.
This parameter is set by the manufacturer, and the whole operation of the mobile phone as a whole, as well as its service center, depends on which system it chooses. HTC has chosen Android 9.0 (Pie) system for this model.
The operation of the phone depends on its capacity in terms of the duration without recharging. Note that here this capacity is expressed in 4000 mAh. This allows the model to work for 2 days with moderate use. The type used is lithium polymer. It is possible to charge the phone via USB.
The display size is 6 "53". This is slightly more than the average phone.
The screen resolution indicator allows for more detailed image transmission. This parameter is expressed in pixels. Accordingly, the more there are, the clearer the image. The indicator of this model: 720 x 1560 pix, 263 ppi / In addition, the smartphone supports HD resolution.
The color depth in any smartphone is expressed in the number of bits that are involved in the encoding of one pixel. In this case, 24 bits are involved in this process.
Also, the main characteristics of the screen include the fact that it is a touchscreen. There is a function of auto-rotate the screen - this is very convenient when watching a video or reading, for example, a book or other documents. When you bring the smartphone to your ear during a call, the display goes out, this is due to the proximity sensor.
Now let's move on to an overview of the available cameras.
The main one has only 16 megapixels, which, in general, does not mean poor photo quality. The camera supports standard image resolutions (Ultra HD, Quad HD, Full HD, HD).
The presence of a dual camera in the smartphone gives it the ability to make videos and photos with the effect of three-dimensional space. In addition, the following functions are built in:
The front camera has half the pixels and supports the same image formats as the main one, except for Ultra HD. You can use it to shoot videos.
This phone model supports dual sim function. This ensures the optimization of financial costs for mobile expenses. For example, with one sim - card, you can access the Internet, with the other - make calls and send sms. Manufacturers have chosen the nano-sim type for the parameter considered in this paragraph.
For incoming calls you will have the opportunity to put any melody you like. Well, if you don't need any melodies at all, you can switch the phone to vibration mode.
It is possible to make video calls and combine several contacts into a conference call.
