Amid rising competition, falling sales and losses, the Taiwanese smartphone maker, HTC, exited the Indian market last year. Now, the company is back with a new smartphone – HTC Wildfire X. HTC is not only reviving the Wildfire-series but also hoping to revive its fortunes.
The Wildfire X is offered in two models – 3GB RAM for Rs 10,999, and 4GB RAM for Rs 13,999. It will be available to purchase from Flipkart starting August 22 from 12:00PM onwards. As an introductory offer, the smartphones will be available for Rs 1,000 cheaper. Here is a look at the top features of the HTC Wildfire X.

In line with the latest trends, the Wildfire X comes with 6.22-inch HD+ display. It runs at a resolution of 720×1,520pixels. It is a full-screen display with a waterdrop-style notch that houses the front camera. The back features a laminated plastic with glossy finish that appears like glass. This gives it a modern look.
