Today we bring you a very special analysis, since it is the first time that we have analyzed one of these products and we hope to start a long list of reviews of this type of products. We bring the Wiko View smartphone, the first smartphone that we will review and hope that it will be the first of many of these products. The French company, which has been in our country for a while, is beginning to gain a lot of strength in the smartphone scene nationwide, with solutions that offer great value for money.
The French company has chosen to develop a terminal of high quality and features, thinking of the average user, who is looking for a high quality terminal and that has a fairly fair or adjusted price. The heart of the Wiko View is a Snapdragon 425, which implements Adreno 308 graphics. The processor is accompanied by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Something fundamental is autonomy and this terminal has a 2.900 mAh battery and also has Android 7.1 Nougat.

The packaging is the common one among all the terminals on the market. A compact box, with the fundamental elements and the image of the terminal on the cover of the box. Inside, we will find the typical documentation, a clip to open the slot for the nano-SIM and microSD cards. We also found a hands-free headset and a 5V and 1.55A charger.
We go to the terminal itself, which is what interests us. This Wiko View is a terminal with a modern design, with a large screen. The total dimensions of this terminal are 151.5 × 73.1 × 8.7mm and the total weight of the terminal is 153 grams, something that makes us have a very compact and light terminal in our hands.
As in any terminal, one of the outstanding and important points is the screen, which must be of good quality and with high performance. This terminal has a 6-inch screen, offering a 19: 9 format and a resolution of 1440 × 720 (HD +), providing high image quality and having a 2.5D glass cover, additionally providing protection Gorilla Glass.
Wiko, it seems that it has opted more for selfies than for landscape or external photographs, as its cameras let it see. The two cameras. They have a d / 2.0 focal length, but the front has a quality of 16 megapixels, while the rear 'only' has 13 megapixels, something quite curious and unusual in smartphones, whose rear camera is usually better than the front one.
Something that draws our attention about this terminal is that it does not have front buttons, being integrated directly into the screen. We can see on the lower edge, the micro-USB connector, which will allow us to connect an external device and also charge our smartphone. Change we see the speakers, which have a great sound quality, but they lack some chicha, since at the top of volume, they denote that a little sound strength is missing.
We find in the left area, the tray for the nano-SIM and microSD card, in the upper area we find the jack connector, while in the right area we find the buttons to raise and lower the volume and lock and unlock the terminal.
If we look at the back of the terminal, here we find a striking design. The back cover is plastic, but the chosen color is anthracite, with a very internal reflection effect. We can also find a touch fingerprint sensor, which will allow us to unlock the terminal, among other functions. We can also see the 13 megapixel camera with f / 2.0 in this area.
We must emphasize, already as final conclusions, that the Wiko View is a very balanced terminal, with very interesting characteristics and that will delight all users. The cameras are of very good quality and take really good photographs, something that makes it an aspect to be taken into account. The system is very fluid and is that Android 7.1 Nougat, is very well optimized and the manufacturer has not added customizations, since this point is not necessary either.
As negative aspects, we must emphasize that the battery is too fair for daily life, forcing us to carry around a portable battery, something that can become a nuisance. Something that is missed is fast charging, which is always an aspect to consider. Despite these things, it seems to us an ideal solution for the average user, who will focus on photography, social networks and simple applications, not needing much more.
