Wiko View5 and Wiko View5 Plus - novelties from France

Published: 04.09.2020

Do you remember the French company Wiko? It just remembered about itself when it presented the Wiko View5 and Wiko View5 Plus models. The company ensures that they can work 3 days without charging.

Both models received 5000 mAh batteries, which - according to the manufacturer's assurances - are enough to be charged twice a week. What else do the news offer? Both models have IPS displays with a diagonal of 6.55 inches and a resolution of 1600x720 pixels. The displays have holes for 8-megapixel selfie cameras, around which the battery indicator lights up. Both models have quad cameras on the back, with 48, 8, 5 and 2 Mpx matrices. Additional modules deal with wide-angle (120 degrees), macro and background photos.

Both smartphones received additional keys to turn on the Google Assistant, as well as microSD card slots, separate DualSIM minijacks and FM radio slots, as well as Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi b/g/n, fingerprint readers (rear) and face recognition systems. Interestingly, there is no fast charging, and old-fashioned microUSB sockets were used for this. The new models use Android 10.
