An Elite throwback for HTC - new low end phone leak

[williamcll]

EvLeaks has posted some information regarding a new low-end phone by HTC called the wildfire E Lite with some basic specs like dual real cameras and a 720p+ screen.

Remember when the HTC Wildfire E Lite appeared on the Google Play Console? You’d be forgiven if you answered “no”, a phone with a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM is hardly memorable. Still, the first proper image of the Lite has surfaced, courtesy of @evleaks, so you might want to have another look. It’s a classic design with top and bottom bezels surrounding the 18:9 screen (720 x 1,440 px resolution). The clock on the screen shows “August 20”, but if HTC did unveil the Wildfire E Lite on that date, we can’t find any evidence of it. You can have a look at the full-fat Wildfire E in the meantime, it’s available in Russia and Africa and comes with a 5.45” HD+ screen and an octa-core processor.

Thoughts: I have the same idea as MKBHD here, it is as if they just found a large inventory of old phones from 2015 and is now selling them.

That's not a good name to use right now. Half of the West Coast is on Fire

Would prefer this over any of the samey looking uniform "flagships".

I am I the only person who wants a flagship phone but in a 5.0-5.2 inch screen size like phones used to be? That is the sole reason I still rock my nexus 5x.

That and better aspect ratios, 16:9 or 21:10...

IMO HTC One M7 is still the best phone they've released.

 

Shame they moved away from it's design for some reason.

If it's a $100 super budget phone, might be good enough.

 

Any more than that, nope.
