HTC is back in the game, well not by itself, but through InOne Smart Technology, an official licensee. It’s just like HMD Global and Nokia.
Meet the HTC Wildfire X. This is a mid-range phone which is powered by an octa-core Mediatek Helio P22 processor which is clocked at 2.0 GHz. The device will be available in 2 variants: 3GB RAM with 32GB storage, and 4GB RAM with 64GB storage. It has a hybrid SIM tray which supports up to 256GB of expandable storage.
The Wildfire X sports a 6.22-inch HD+ IPS display with a water-drop notch, and an impressive 88% screen to body ratio. The phone runs on Android 9 Pie, and is equipped with a conventional rear-placed fingerprint scanner.
The phone has a “Mybuddy” feature which is sort of an emergency/panic button tool. It can be used to trigger a loud alarm, can record and transmit audio/video of surroundings in real time and also send your live location information to friends and family.
The camera department of the HTC Wildfire X seems good on paper, it has triple lenses with a 12MP primary camera with 1.25μm pixel size, an 8MP telephoto lens with 8x hybrid zoom and 2x Lossless Optical Zoom, and a 5MP depth sensor.
The selfie camera housed in the notch is an 8MP wide-angle lens with an 86° field-of-view. The phone is backed by a 3,300 mAh battery which supports 10W charging over a USB Type-C.
The HTC Wildfire X has a 3D OPVD mirror finish and a Hyper Optical patterned back which reflects light.
