During the MWC trade fair, Wiko firmly launched new products. It is primarily a continuation and extension of the View series and subsequent releases of Jerry, Tommy and Lenny models.
In total, we saw 8 new models from Wiko. The main attraction is the launch of the View2 series of smartphones. It has been prepared for the most demanding users. These smartphones offer a wide screen, a multitude of photo processing functions and smooth operation. Wiko equipped the View2 models with displays with a 19: 9 aspect ratio and leveled the bezels around the display. Specially designed user interface is adapted to the shape of the screen, thanks to which it is possible to fully use the potential of the innovative display. The top bar can be used to answer calls or scroll through music.

Great colour reproduction is one of the most important advantages of the entire View2 series. The phones have a 13 megapixel rear camera, while View2 Pro has a dual 16-megapixel rear camera module with a Sony IMX499 lens (wide angle, 120 degree lens range). The rear View2 Pro has a very large aperture of f/1.75 to capture the light even better and to record more details and colours in lower light conditions. There is also a Super Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) function that allows you to get better quality pictures taken in a dark environment. The model with a double camera allows you to achieve a blur effect on the pictures. The View2 series models also allow you to record in slow motion mode and stabilize the FHD image.

In both models there is a 16-megapixel front camera, based on Big Pixel technology and equipped with a f/2.0 aperture. Big Pixel improves the capturing of light by changing the pixel layout, giving 4 times light sensitivity. And the other parameters? First of all, the 8-core Qualcomm processor, supported by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in memory in View2 and 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory in the View2 Pro model.
