HTC Wildfire E3 Lite now official

HTC, despite shifting its focus on metaverse and augmented reality—with their most recent product, HTC Vive XR Elite—the company has a new smartphone offering.

Namely, the HTC Wildfire E3 Lite which falls on the entry-level as it equips the UNISOC SC9863 under the hood. And it runs Android 12 out of the box.

The model sports a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a teardrop notch, the same as we saw on its vanilla variant from 2021.

It packs a 5000 mAh battery, dual rear cameras with 13-megapixel main lens, up to 4 GB RAM and 64GB expandable storage, and supports a fingerprint sensor integrated to the power button.
