Experts Rating 79%


The HTC Wildfire was released in 2010 so will be a little lacking compared to more recent Android phones, but then you can get it for a cheaper price because of this. It is clearly a good phone and is loved by many users, the main issues users have with the Wildfire are highlighted below.

Praise

Users loved the ease of use of the HTC Wildfire, along with the size and design of the phone. People also liked the low price.

Problems

The common issue of battery life once again rears it's ugly head with lots of uses claiming it needs recharging everyday even with low use. Use of a task killer app may help with this problem. There are some issues with the phone crashing during game play, probably due to the modest processing power of the Wildfire.
