It’s easy to judge budget smartphones as inferior to more costly handsets
But in the HTC Wildfire S we have a smartphone that offers features similar to pricier models. We love the unibody design that combines form and function. A 512MB internal memory can easily be upped to 32GB using a microSD card

The HTC Wildfire S is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor - it only weighs 105g and it's just 101.3mm x 59.4mm in size

Fare as well in an evermore crowded market?
The dinky size isn’t for everyone. One downside to the smooth unibody is getting used to holding the thing without accidentally dropping it. You also cannot play Flash video. And even when playing non-Flash video
The HTC Wildfire S tends to struggle. Web browsing could also feel a little quicker
So overall media performance feels limited.
Slow processor means sluggish performance
Not suitable for large-handed users
Camera is disappointing
Might be bettered by legacy devices still available
HTC Sense offers an easy connected experience, great design, affordable
Might be bettered by legacy devices still available, limited multimedia performance, finish on the back is a little slippery
Cute and compact, the HTC Wildfire S is limited in terms of what it will do, but what it does is delivered very nicely. Unless you are completely sold on the looks or the size, there are plenty of other choices out there...
You'd never guess it was Android 2.3, so little has changed
It may very well be HTC’s low price Android offering, but that doesn’t mean the HTC Wildfire S is the best affordable Android option. Far from it: we still can’t recommend the Orange San Francisco highly enough, which for £90 on Pay As You Go will give...

The HTC Wildfire S offers a decent set of features for a wallet-friendly price. The Android Gingerbread device has good build quality and call quality
The smartphone's compact size won't suit everyone. The smaller display makes it a bit hard on the eyes when viewing Web sites and video, and the camera's picture quality could be better
Despite its small stature, the HTC Wildfire S is well-crafted and easy on the eye. Unfortunately, a slow data network holds it back.
If you're looking for an entry-level phone, but want all the features and benefits of Android, this is the phone for you. It fits in-hand wonderfully, is very well built, has all the minimum requirements that you need in a smartphone, and is priced we...
