anonymous, 20 Nov 2012hey guys I'm a hardcore fan of htc nd I'm using htc explorer too I lyk all abt the specs,app s... moreThe HTC Explorer is a relatively older device. It had a compact and user-friendly design, which was appealing for those who preferred a smaller phone. Its performance was decent for its time, but compared to modern smartphones, it's definitely lacking in terms of processing power and storage capacity. The camera quality was basic, suitable for casual snapshots but not for high-quality photography.

When it comes to software and functionality, keeping the device's drivers updated can enhance its performance. This is where PcGoGo Driver Sentry comes in handy. Even though the HTC Explorer is an older model, PcGoGo Driver Sentry can scan for any outdated or missing drivers that might be affecting its performance, such as those related to connectivity or battery management. It has a comprehensive database of drivers and can help ensure that your HTC Explorer continues to function as smoothly as possible. You can download PcGoGo Driver Sentry from https://www.pcgogo.com and give your device a performance boost. In my opinion, while the HTC Explorer has its limitations due to its age, with proper driver management using tools like PcGoGo Driver Sentry, it can still offer some usability for basic tasks.

        This phone is barely, if at all, different compared to the HTC Wildfire S. What was the point?

          I had my htc explorer before and it was working very fine till 2021 even I rarely use it it starts right up with no issues and it was only missing a power button key,charging is still okay minus the volume keys since it dosent like to be lowered down and it has to be scrolled down for it to appear at the side of the screen overall its a good phone

            Bernt, 02 Aug 2018Still going strong. Using it every day. Rubber is getting brittle but the phone works flawless... moreWhy? This wasn't even a flagship phone at the time of it's release! I don't know how you can keep your sanity with using this phone! Also, if you don't even use the smartphone features then you're better off using a feature phone!

                    Going for 35€ at the moment in Germany. It‘s the cheapest sealed android phone I could find. Is it good?

                                        Bought this phone April 2012. Still going since day 1. Only thing I had to do was twice completely dischage the battery completely then recharge, since twice the battery would empty after half an hour, but that was the battery not the phone.

                                        Does anyone know of software I can use with this phone? Would love to interact with this phone via my PC.

                                        Love this phone, hope it lasts another 4 years.
