HTC has become the name of the past since it is almost done with smartphone business. The company’s primary revenue now comes from its VR business, which is growing rapidly. But that does not mean it has entirely done away with smartphones as some details have emerged about the upcoming Wildfire E.

The phone will be a budget device going by the specifications detailed by the retailer. It will be powered by Unisoc (Spreadtrum) SC9863 Octa-core processor having a cluster of 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.6GHz and another 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.2GHz. On the other hand, the graphics will be carried out by the PowerVR IMG8322-accelerated GPU. As for memory, the phone will feature 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM.

On the front, it will sport a compact 5.45-inches HD+ IPS LCD with an aspect ratio of 18:9. The front will also house a 5MP camera for selfies and video calls. Whereas at the back, the HTC Wildfire E will house a dual camera array which will include a 13MP primary snapper and a 2MP secondary sensor. Other features of the phone include Bluetooth 4.2, 2.4GHz WiFi, MicroUSB port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Last but not least, it will run Android Pie out of the box backed a 3,000 mAh battery.
