HTC Wildfire X is the newest smartphone from the Taiwanese company in India. The smartphone is being launched by InOne Smart Technology, the official licensee of HTC Corporation. HTC Wildfire X is the first smartphone under the new brand licensing agreement. It enters a market crowded by Chinese smartphone brands, which control over 86 percent market share.
The Wildfire X starts at Rs 9,999 in India and comes in two storage variants. The 3GB RAM variant will be available for Rs 9,999 while the 4GB RAM variant will be available for Rs 12,999. It will go on sale starting August 22, 2019 exclusively via Flipkart. Vodafone is offering Rs 3,750 in the form of coupons to both existing and new customers. Vodafone users will also get additional 0.5GB data per day for 18 months. The Wildfire X is being offered in sapphire blue color option in India.
Considering the price, the HTC Wildfire X will compete against the likes of Realme 3i, Redmi Note 7S, and Nokia 4.2. To recall, HTC downsized its operations in the Indian market back in July last year, and this launch represents brand licensee InOne Smart Technology’s first HTC branded phone in the country. As you’d probably remember, HTC sold its smartphone design division to Google, the deal that was completed earlier this year.
It is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz. The Wildfire X runs Android Pie out of the box and packs a 3,300mAh battery. It uses a USB Type-C port for charging and supports 4G LTE. On the specifications front, the dual-SIM (Nano) HTC Wildfire X runs Android 9 Pie and features a 6.22-inch HD+ (720×1520 pixels) HD+ IPS display with the water drop-style notch and 88.8 percent screen-to-body ratio.
