context_page_description: The HTC Explorer, code-named Pico, is a smartphone developed by the HTC Corporation that was released in October 2011. Because of the low end processor, the HTC Watch movie rental service and the 3D scrolling effects on the home screens were not available. The handset was available in four varieties of color options. Visually similar to the HTC Wildfire S, it comes with a 3.2-inch screen, a 600 MHz ARMv7 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and runs Android version 2.3, bundled with the proprietary HTC Sense 3.5 user interface.

The screen is a 3.2-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen, supporting 256K colors and around 180 pixel-per-inch density. The device features a 600 MHz Cortex-A5 single-core central processing unit (CPU) and a single-core Adreno 200 graphics processing unit (GPU), in conjunction with an accelerometer and proximity sensor. Other features include a microphone, GPS, and 3.15-megapixel rear camera. HTC Explorer has 512MB Ram and removable Li-ion 1230 mAh  battery.
