You can say a lot of things about smartphones, but you cannot say they’re cheap. Enter HTC Explorer, the latest Android smartphone from HTC, which aims to satisfy your smartphone needs with less than stellar specifications and a very affordable price.

HTC Explorer is a compact Android 2.3 smartphone, with a 3.2-inch HVGA (480 x 320) screen, a 3-megapixel camera, a 600 MHz CPU and 512 MB of memory, which can be further expanded via memory cards. It’ll come in three colors: metallic black, active black and metallic navy.

The device will be available in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East in October; there’s no word on when or whether it’s coming to the U.S.

The price hasn’t been officially confirmed at this point, but Engadget reports it will be well below $290 (sans contract), which is the price of HTC’s other mid-range smartphone, the Wildfire S.
