Performance and Software
At the heart of the HTC Wildfire is the Qualcomm MSM7225 Snapdragon S1 chipset, paired with a 528 MHz ARM 11 CPU. While primitive by today's standards, this configuration was adequate for running Android 2.1 Eclair, which could be upgraded to 2.2 Froyo. HTC's Sense UI layered over Android added value with customizable widgets and a user-friendly interface. However, the absence of a dedicated GPU somewhat limits gaming and graphic-intensive applications.
