HTC Wildfire R70: Design and Display

In terms of design, the Wildfire R70 comes with a glass back on the rear that curves around the edges to give the device a comfortable grip and feel in hand. Towards the front, it features a 6.53-inch display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 1560 × 720 pixels screen resolution, and a waterdrop style notch to house the front-facing camera. The handset comes in two color options to choose from Aurora Blue and Night Black.

The device offers 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable up to 256GB with a microSD card. It includes a 4000mAh battery with 10W charging to power the internals and runs on Android 9.0 Pie out of the box.

It employs a fingerprint scanner, mounted on the rear, for authentication and provides the infamous 3.5mm audio jack, and the dreaded micro-USB port — which is a let down in 2020.
