HTC Explorer Overview
The HTC Explorer is an Android 2.3.5 device featuring a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 3MP camera, and 600MHz processor. Not a blazing powerhouse by any means, the Explorer looks to cut into the segment of the smartphone market dominated by low-cost alternatives such as the Huawei Ideos X3 and LG Optimus One.
While not the most sleek or full-featured device, Sense 3.5 and a finely-tuned Android build give the Explorer all the functionality you could want from a device of its class. Positioned as a budget-minded alternative to increasingly expensive high-end devices, the Explorer makes a great first smartphone.

HTC Explorer Reviews
GSMArena Ever since the Aria, HTC have had a petite Android on offer and the HTC Explorer is the latest in the line. With an affordable price tag, the plucky little smartphone will appeal to people looking for a compact set or users who are just about getting started in smartphones.
Pocket Lint But where does that leave the person on the street? The normal Joe, the man or woman who just wants a phone for phone calls and text messages?
Tech Radar The HTC Explorer is a dinky little thing. Pebble-shaped and mainly covered in hard-wearing rubber with a metallic embossed panel on the battery cover, it's amusing to see HTC equate 'first smart phone' with 'as potentially unbreakable as possible'.
