Though the main motive of Wiko’s exposition is a blue-white logo, the booth is full of different colours. This is thanks to dozens of smartphones of this French company, blinking their displays with various colours. Let us take a look at them.

Among these new models our attention is caught by extremely slim models from the Highway series – Pure and Star. These are phones using 4G with extremely thin housings. The Highway Pure model has only 5.1mm thickness and weighs less than 100g. The phone is available in several different colours and what is more the manufacturer offers a W vision cover with a cut-out Wiko logo. This hole allows to see notifications or the clock without opening the cover. The specification of the phone is as attractive as its looks. In Pure we can find a quad-core Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM. The display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 has a diagonal of 4.8 inches and an HD resolution. Photographic capabilities are less attractive – with the main camera of 8 megapixels and the front with 5 megapixels? But the looks of the device seems to compensate it. Despite the slim housing the battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh.

Highway Star is slightly thicker and heavier but it looks equally nice. It has a 5-inch HD AMOLED display and an octa-core 1.5GHz CPU. In the aluminium housing are placed 2GB of RAM, 16GB of flashROM and a 13-megapixel camera and a 5-megapixel front camera for selfies. This model can use two SIM cards – or one, then we gain a slot for microSD cards of up to 64GB. Battery has a capacity of 2450 mAh. For this model W vision covers if offered as well.

Other novelties – are Ridge and Ridge Fab. These phones have 13-megapixel cameras, 5-megapixel selfies’ cameras and Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz CPUs. They both have the same set of memory – 2GB of RAM and 16GB of flash. They both are dualSIM, but in the Ridge model one SIM can be replaced by a microSD card. These phones have different displays: Ridge has a 5-inch, and Ridge Fab – a 5.5-inch one. They both have an HD resolution and are protected by Gorilla Glass 3. Ridge has a battery of 2400 mAh and its bigger and heavier brother – 2820 mAh.

Wiko Rainbow is a model from the lower shelf price. It has a 5-inch HD display, a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU and a gigabyte of RAM and 8 GB of ROM. This phone has two camera – 8- and 2-megapixel. It is worth remembering that the smartphone supports USB OTG, which is not a common thing in its class.

The cheapest novelty is Wiko Birdy. This cheap phone has a 4.5-inch 480x854 pixels display and a memory of 4GB. The power is provided by a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU supported by a gigabyte of RAM. Taking photos and recording movies is possible thanks to two cameras: 5 and 2 Mpx. In this case we can use the USB-OTG as well. Besides phones Wiko presents a variety of accessories. Among them we can find smaller and larger Bluetooth speakers, a holder or even a simple smartwatch with the activity tracker function.
