Earlier this month HTC made the Wildfire
E2 smartphone official in Russia, with entry-level specs and a price to match.
However, it turns out that the Taiwanese company is also working on an even
cheaper, even more basic handset to be launched soon under the Wildfire
sub-brand.
This will be called Wildfire E Lite, and
it has just showed up in the Google Play Console. The listing tells us that the
phone has a screen with 720x1440 resolution, with a now quite uncommon 18:9
aspect ratio.
As you can see from the tiny picture
showing the handset's front, there are no notches or hole punches here, instead
you get substantial top and bottom bezels. The Wildfire E Lite has 2GB of RAM
and it runs Android 10.
It's powered by MediaTek's Helio A20
chipset, which with its quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU is as 'entry-level' as you can
get at this point in time. So you really shouldn't expect any sort of
groundbreaking performance here, but the price could be very low. We'll let you
know when we find out more about the HTC Wildfire E Lite.
