HTC Explorer Review

HTC Mobiles is a well-known mobile brand across the globe. The company is recognized to make phones, which are smart, intelligent and user friendly. With the launch of HTC Explorer, the firm has proved that it is one of the best in the field and most importantly been appreciated by the consumers as well. In my view, HTC Explorer is certainly an impressive Smartphone that is packed out with ample of interesting and comprehensible features, which is very important to be present in the today's scenario.

By just a glimpse of HTC Explorer, one would surely be impressed and mesmerized. The 3.2 inches of TFT capacitive touchscreen display is pretty awesome and comes with an ideal resolution of 320 x 480 pixels that gives immense pleasure in viewing images and videos on the device. To further add charm and glory to the screen is the HTC Sense 3.5 user interface, which is smooth and easy to use. Under the skin, HTC Explorer is powered with a sturdy processor of Cortex A5 that runs at a speed of 600 MHz and has Android 2.3 gingerbread as operating system. The device has a chipset of Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A and is accompanied with Adreno 200 GPU. The presence of accelerometer and proximity sensors adds more contentment while working on the phone.

HTC Mobiles has taken care of camera segment of HTC Explorer too. The smartphone is fitted with 3.15 megapixels of rear camera with facilities like geo-tagging and face detection. The camera has a capability to capture 480p videos. But the sad part here is that the device lacks secondary camera and LED Flash. This part might cost HTC Mobiles a bit of sales as same category Smartphones does feature secondary camera and LED flash that enhanced the pictures and videos considerably.

Talking about the memory of HTC Explorer, this smartphone has been provided with 90 MB of inbuilt memory storage accompanied with 512 MB of ROM and 512 MB of RAM. The memory could be further amplified up to 32 GB as the company has provided a microSD card slot, where one can insert microSD card to enlarge the memory up to 32 GB. The connectivity features of HTC Explorer are impressive in their own way. The smartphone sports GPRS/EDGE, 3G and A-GPS support along with facility of connecting internet through Wi-Fi. The Bluetooth and microUSB port are present for data transfer. On the whole, HTC Explorer is an absolutely remarkable Android smartphone, if the company would have worked on the secondary camera and LED flash, the phone would have become absolutely flawless.

Overall Review

The HTC Explorer, the Android mobile which was announced in September 2011, is one of the most affordable smartphones in the market and a remarkable smartphone in the global portfolio of HTC devices. HTC Explorer proposes a complex and exciting smartphone experience for users who are experiencing a smartphone for the first time. Smartphones allow users to enjoy well defined graphics, exciting animations, quality music and videos along with social networking pleasure.

The HTC Explorer is a real smartphone as it gives shortcut to save valuable time and make life less complicated. With the HTC Explorer, the user can decide and personalise the home-screen with what should be there and what is not required. An interesting feature of HTC Explorer is that when the phone rings, you can see the latest social status updates, any special occasion (Birthday/ Anniversary) on the screen of the person calling. Never let you miss special dates and updates.

HTC Sensation is an Android 2.3 entry-level smartphone with a modest 600 MHz Qualcomm processor that allows applications to start up instantly and switching between them is also made easier. HTC Explorer is available in three shades, Metallic Black, Active Black and Metallic Navi. HTC has come up with bright idea of few colors that can be customised, the colors are Metallic Blue, Metallic Orange, Metallic White and Metallic Purple. For those who are color specific and want to showoff with something that wont be common, you have a choice.

HTC Explorer is simply a smarter phone for everyone and it represents another clear demonstration of HTC's commitment to expanding the market for more advanced smartphones.
