HTC Explorer Android 2.3 3G Wi-Fi Touchscreen Smartphone, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new HTC Explorer, the Android 2.3 3G Wi-Fi touchscreen smartphone, GSM unlocked. Sealed Explorers are an export lot for dealers who supply entry-level unlocked Androids to African, South Asian, and Latin American 3G markets, and a cheap new-condition HTC for display sets. Color is assigned at quote time. No US network serves it.
The HTC Explorer is a late-2011 entry-level Android 2.3 phone aimed at first-time smartphone buyers in emerging markets: a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 touchscreen, a 600 MHz Qualcomm processor, a 3 MP fixed-focus camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, a microSD slot, HTC Sense 3.5 with a simplified lockscreen, and HSPA 3G on GSM bands. It was sold mainly in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
TG Wireless offers the Explorer to exporters covering markets where 3G is still live, to collectors of small HTC Sense phones, and to prop and parts buyers who need a cheap 2011 Android.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so this phone, with no LTE or VoLTE, gets no service on any US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM and UMTS service, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use.
Resale fit
- Export to GSM and UMTS markets where a very low-cost Android still has a buyer.
- Collectors of compact HTC Sense handsets.
- Prop houses and parts buyers.
