The Mobile World Congress of 2017 has once again made it clear that Chinese brands have a lot to say in the European market, the massive presentation of the Huawei P10 was the sample. But there are more Chinese brands that are asking for a step to offer upper-middle-range devices that bet on innovation and quality, and one of those brands is Wiko.
At their stand at the MWC they have presented among other launches, the Wiko Wim and the Wiko Wim Lite, older brother and little brother. Although both are interesting phones, let's focus on the first: with 5.5 inches, the Wiko Wim seeks its niche in the large mobile sector, and bets on the double camera as a differentiating element. In addition, it includes a powerful eight-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and basic Android 7 complete a terminal with a very affordable price: 400 euros.
Camera
We will comment on the camera, the star element of this Wiko Wim. The dual camera is not a very common feature among devices that are not pure high-end, such as the latest releases from LG or Huawei. Therefore, it is welcome to find such a feature in a mid-priced smartphone. The camera has two lenses of 13 megapixels each, opening the possibility of using Bokeh effect. Also, Dual LED Flash and OIS mode, and it can record 4K video at 30fps. A team that is at the level of high-end terminals, without a doubt.
For the front, Wiko has wanted to continue betting on image quality, with a 16 megapixel sensor with built-in LED flash. It's clear that the days of the selfie camera being considered a minor piece of hardware are over, and we celebrate.

If we focus on storage, the Wiko Wim offers two versions available, one 32 GB and the other 64 GB, and the capacity can be expanded via microSD. The included software is Android 7 Nougat, a very good point for any terminal that aspires to convince the most demanding users, since it allows access to new functions such as the split screen for multitasking. Details like this raise points to the new from Wiko.
Autonomy and connectivity
We continue with good news regarding this Wiko Wim, and it is that the autonomy part is also solved in a satisfactory way. The terminal is equipped with a 3,200 milliamp non-removable battery, one of the current standards among the higher ranges. In addition, it has QuickCarge 3.0 technology, which will allow you to charge your phone in a very short time.
In terms of connectivity, we have a 4G LTE connection, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS. The combination of the fingerprint reader and the NFC connection will allow us to access platforms such as Android Pay or Samsung Pay. If we talk about ports, we find two, a microUSB 2.0 for charging and a 3.5-millimeter minijack for headphones. Everything within the normal.
