HTC Wildfire Gaming Series Smartphone Review

HTC is reportedly preparing to launch a new smartphone under its Wildfire lineup, with a design focused on gaming aesthetics and budget-friendly pricing. Revealed at GITEX 2025, this phone aims to capture attention in the entry-level gaming segment.

💡 Design Insight: HTC’s new Wildfire model features RGB-inspired accents with a matte-finish back — a nostalgic nod to its 2010s gaming DNA.

Performance and Chipset

The phone is powered by the Unisoc T765 processor — efficient but far from flagship performance. Despite its 5G support, benchmark leaks suggest mid-range performance at best.

⚙️ Specs Summary: 5G Ready, 5600mAh Battery, 50MP Rear Camera, 16MP Front, Android 14.

Display and Build

The 6.7-inch FHD+ IPS panel supports 120Hz refresh rate. It’s bright and vivid, though not as deep in contrast as AMOLED competitors.

🎮 Gaming Focus: HTC has optimized thermal management to reduce heat during long gaming sessions, making it comfortable for daily gaming use.

Market Comparison

Competing devices like POCO M7 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 15 outperform this HTC in raw power. Still, HTC’s nostalgic branding may attract loyal fans.

🏁 Verdict: The Wildfire Gaming Edition delivers solid build quality and good battery life, but struggles in performance metrics compared to newer rivals.
