HTC Wildfire E5 Plus

The HTC Wildfire E5 Plus has a sizeable footprint, measuring 168.4 mm tall, 77.9 mm wide, and 9.5 mm thick, with a total volume of roughly 124.62 cm³. At 218 g, it sits on the heavier side for a smartphone. The device has no water resistance rating, does not feature a rugged build, and is not a foldable design.

The display is a 6.75″ LCD IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 260 ppi. It supports a 90Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother scrolling and navigation. The screen does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Always-On Display functionality. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The device is powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, built on a 12nm process with an 8-thread CPU running at 1.6 GHz across all cores, using big.LITTLE architecture with HMP support. It is paired with 6GB of DDR4 RAM at 1600 MHz and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with a maximum supported memory amount of 14GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s. Graphics are handled by the Mali G57 MP1 GPU, which features 64 shading units, 1 execution unit, and a clock speed of 650 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The chipset supports 64-bit processing, integrated LTE, integrated graphics, and ARM TrustZone security. Cache configuration includes 128 KB of L1, 2 MB of L2, and 1 MB of L3 cache, while the TDP is rated at 10W. Geekbench 6 scores stand at 371 single-core and 1391 multi-core, with Geekbench 5 results of 313 and 1175 respectively, and PassMark scores of 988 single-core and 2663 overall.

The rear camera system is a dual-lens setup combining a 50MP main sensor at f/2.4 with a 2MP secondary lens at f/1.8, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. Video capture tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with support for slow-motion recording, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed is not included. The camera also supports burst mode, in-camera panoramas, and timelapse, but cannot shoot in RAW format or capture 360-degree panoramas. A single LED flash is present on the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option. The 16MP front camera sits at f/2.2 and is a single-lens unit without an under-display placement or a dedicated flash, and there is no optical zoom on either camera.

The device runs Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multi-user configurations, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, and voice commands. Privacy features are well represented, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. Customization options include theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while productivity is aided by split-screen support, picture-in-picture, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, a media picker, widgets, sharing intents, full-page screenshots, and the ability to play games while they download. A child lock, battery health check, phone tracking, and Live Text round out the feature set. On the other hand, the device does not support focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, or the ability to function as a PC, and it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor.

The device is equipped with a 5000 mAh non-removable rechargeable battery that includes a battery level indicator. However, it does not support fast charging or wireless charging, so recharging relies solely on standard wired charging.

The device includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack, offering a wired audio connection option. It does not feature stereo speakers, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.

The device supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC, though 5G is not available. Cellular connectivity is present, with download speeds of up to 300 MBits/s and upload speeds of up to 100 MBits/s. It features a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, an external memory slot for storage expansion, and a fingerprint scanner for biometric security. Satellite-based emergency SOS, crash detection, DLNA certification, HDMI output, infrared sensor, ANT+ support, and a built-in projector are all absent. Location capabilities include GPS, Galileo support, a compass, and an accelerometer, while a gyroscope, barometer, heart rate monitor, motion tracking, and optical tracking are not included. 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are likewise not featured, and no stylus is included in the box.

The device includes a video light, which can be used during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and it does not use sapphire glass or e-paper technology.
