Things are clearly not going that well for HTC but that hasn’t stopped the company from pushing out some great offerings into the budget segment. The latest is an addition to the familiar Wildfire lineup called the HTC Wildfire E2 Plus that will be sold in the Russian market with a price tag of 12,990 RUB or around $176.

The front of the phone is largely occupied by the display (obviously), but there’s also quite a sizeable chin. The display is a 6.82” IPS LCD with an HD+ screen resolution and a standard 60Hz refresh rate. A waterdrop notch sits at its top housing an 8MP front camera.

At the rear, there is a rectangular camera module holding four cameras – the primary is a 13MP shooter and is paired by a 5MP ultrawide. The remaining two cameras each have 2MP resolutions and exist for macro and depth information.

The HTC Wildfire E2 Plus is powered by the octa-core UNISOC Tiger T610 processor. It packs a 4,600mAh battery which doesn’t appear to have any support for fast charging. Other than that, the phone has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, a headphone jack, and a microSD card slot.

A single 4GB RAM + 64GB storage option appears to be the only choice for buyers. Out of the box, the phone will be booting into Android 11. No details about the global availability of the new device have been announced by HTC as of now.
