A few years ago, the mobile phone market could be described as a hundred schools of thought contending. Nowadays, although the remaining "giants" are still in love with each other, as the market declines year by year, each company has begun to show the trend of teaming up to support . At this time, everyone can't help but wonder, will there be fresh faces in the mobile phone circle who want to join and dare to join, who can bring some new vitality to the mobile phone circle?
On December 27, WIKO, a technology brand founded in France, officially released its first mobile phone-WIKO 5G for the Chinese market. This brand was founded in 2011 and has been active in Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. It has accumulated more than 40 million users worldwide. It has been ranked 4th in the French mobile phone market share TOP2 and Western Europe mobile phone market for many years. Although the WIKO brand is not a newcomer in the machine industry, its entry into China in 2022 is indeed a brand new market attempt for it.
In order to better meet the needs of domestic users and make a localized start, WIKO chose to join the Harmony Ecosystem and became a member, and launched the Hongmeng ecological mobile phone WIKO 5G, which was certified by HarmonyOS Connect. The Hongmeng ecosystem is pre-installed when it comes out, so that domestic users can get started faster. It is also a wise choice in terms of quick recognition of the brand and products.
Without further ado, let’s fully experience the experience of using WIKO 5G!
Attention is reflected in the details Mondrian's artistic exploration of " De Stijl "
WIKO 5G inherits the French aesthetic gene and first displays the elegance and romance of design to everyone. This time, WIKO 5G has chosen two universal basic colors-silver and black.
The obsidian black in our hands has a mysterious color scheme. The back of the fuselage adopts a "one plane and three color levels" combination, which breaks and reconstructs the overall unity of the back shell. However, it does not destroy the harmonious visual experience, but adds some changes and layers. This design inspiration is said to be based on the classic deconstructionism , which allows light and dark, light and shadow, and different textures to interweave and blend, presenting a richer visual experience.
The lens module part is often the outstanding design part of mobile phones. The WIKO 5G lens module adopts an inscribed ring design, supplemented by three-layer jewelry-grade craftsmanship, which not only makes the lens part look thin, but also doubles the high-end feel of the mobile phone. Looking at the details, gold embellishments are added to the edge of the WIKO 5G lens to achieve a layered C-angle effect and a more layered feel.
WIKO 5G screen uses a 6.78-inch high-definition large screen with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 94.85%, a resolution of 2388*1080, and a PPI of 387. The level of detail is good and it is very suitable for watching high-definition videos and viewing scenic blockbusters shot with mobile phones. The beautiful scenery can be seen at a glance.
In terms of screen quality, the P3 wide color gamut reaches 100% coverage, the high refresh rate of 120Hz reaches the level of flagship phones, and the touch sampling rate of 270Hz allows the city-level Zhen Ji’s ultra-high operation to be displayed in games anytime and anywhere.
In terms of screen quality, the P3 wide color gamut reaches 100% coverage, the ultra-high refresh rate of 120Hz reaches the level of flagship phones, and the touch sampling rate of 270Hz allows you to display the ultra-high operation of city-level Zhen Ji in games anytime and anywhere.
The front lens dig-out design + 1.05mm ultra-narrow bezel makes it more immersive whether you are watching dramas or playing games.
In terms of eye protection, WIKO 5G also provides 10,000-level dimming. The most intuitive usage scenarios are still dark nights and low-brightness scenes. The addition of DC dimming and various anti-screen flicker algorithms make the phone more eye-friendly in low-brightness scenes. But how to make it more comfortable for users is a problem that is difficult to define. Only a more refined and smoother brightness change method can bring a better user experience to users.
Hongmeng Ecology Better understands the needs of Chinese people
Hongmeng is an operating system well known by domestic users. Even in third- and fourth-tier cities, many people will ask "Does it support Hongmeng system?" when buying a mobile phone.On WIKO 5G, through the HarmonyOS Connect certification, the phone can support the Harmony HMS service framework and has Harmony distributed capabilities. You can enjoy an excellent experience in terms of system fluency, smart interaction, privacy and security.
is like the "Super Terminal" function that Hongmeng users are proud of. It can also be easily implemented on WIKO 5G. Through the simple and intuitive "pull and close" connection method, WIKO 5G can become each other's functional modules after being connected to other devices, helping each other with capabilities and sharing resources. For example, with the WIKO 5G+ notebook, after connecting the mobile phone to the PC, up to three mobile application windows can be opened on the computer to achieve multi-tasking, wireless file transfer, etc.
WIKO 5G also brings desktop card combinations, large folders, etc. Desktop cards can be stacked. Cards of the same size can be stacked together for ease of use and neatness. The stack of cards can be presented in a waterfall flow when the user uses it. The user can slide to view, adjust the order of the cards, and easily delete the cards.
In terms of security and privacy, WIKO 5G can protect users’ information security in an all-round way. Both the Privacy Center and the Security Center give users a more comprehensive security and privacy protection experience. After using it, they feel that the personal information on their mobile phones is now under control, which is convenient and reliable!
100-megapixel super four-camera system to meet the needs of multi-scene shooting
In terms of imaging, WIKO 5G's performance is also very comprehensive. The four lenses of main camera, macro, wide-angle and depth of field cover most daily shooting scenes. In the DXO rankings, the top few are undoubtedly large soles or large pixels. The main camera of WIKO 5G also uses a 108-megapixel ultra-high-definition main camera, combined with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, 2-megapixel macro, and 2-megapixel depth-of-field lens, which has good performance in daily shooting.
Under normal lighting conditions during the day, the single-pixel 9-in-1 WIKO 5G rear 100-megapixel main camera can reach 2.1um. Thanks to its excellent hardware quality, WIKO 5G performs very well in various scenes during the day. Even in large backlit scenes, the entire picture maintains sufficient brightness, there is no obvious overexposure in the highlights, and the dynamic range is handled very well.
After turning on the high-pixel mode, WIKO 5G will directly output a 100-million-pixel sample, and you can zoom in to view the details of the picture. After multiple cuts or processing in the later stage, you will still have good picture performance, even better than digital zoom in many cases.
When shooting relatively close-up scenes, high pixels also have advantages. After cropping and enlarging, small details such as stamens can be seen very clearly.
In most scenarios, the automatic mode of WIKO 5G can already take very good night scene photos. For daily use, you can take out your mobile phone and take pictures anytime and anywhere. But if you have higher needs, then the night scene mode I believe will not let you down.
After turning on the night scene mode, not only the resolution of the picture has been improved visibly to the naked eye, more details can be easily preserved, but the dynamic range performance of the photo will also make great progress. For example, in the picture above, although the automatic mode has a good overall picture, in the night scene mode sample, there are clear outline edges and layers.
Samples of scenes in dark light environments can also be seen. Turning on night scene mode is very effective in improving the dynamic range of WIKO 5G shooting. Especially when there is a strong light source or the light ratio between the subject and the surrounding environment is very large. If you want to record richer information, it is recommended to turn on night scene mode manually.
performance is guaranteed, mainstream mobile games can be played
In terms of performance, WIKO 5G uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor. As a mid-range chip of the Snapdragon series, there are also many products in use. TSMC's 6-nanometer process has good power consumption control. Its CPU architecture is 2*2.2GHz A78+6*1.7GHz A55, in Geekbench In 5 tests, it is much better than Dimensity 810 and 800U. In the 2000 grade, more and more mobile phones are starting to be equipped with this chip.Compared with Snapdragon 690,
’s graphics rendering speed is increased by up to 30% and CPU performance is increased by up to 15%, which can bring users an immersive gaming experience. At the same time, starting with 8GB RAM leaves more room for game performance release.
We tested " King of Glory ", which has a large audience on the market. From the frame rate chart, it is basically stable at around 60 frames, and the frame rate curve is almost a straight line. Considering that its frame rate limit is subject to certain restrictions, with the highest limit being only 60 frames, this "stable straight line" performance is still good.
As for daily use, in my subjective experience, there is still a certain gap between WIKO 5G and flagship models in terms of smoothness, but there are no obvious problems of heating and lagging. Considering the product positioning, I think there is no problem with this experience.
Reliable large battery + 66W fast charging
As mentioned earlier, WIKO 5G uses the Snapdragon 695 mobile platform, and its low power consumption performance is actually more worthy of attention than the performance limit. With low power consumption and a large-capacity battery of 4000mAh, its battery life will naturally reach a relatively good level.
We still start charging when the phone’s power is only 1% left to see the actual charging performance. It can be seen that the charging performance of WIKO 5G is quite impressive. It only takes 37 minutes to go from almost empty to fully charged. It only takes about thirteen minutes to charge from 1% to 50%, and it can be charged to 93% in half an hour. The overall charging speed is very impressive.
This battery life test uses 3 hours of heavy use, 50% brightness and 50% volume. The test items include 1 hour of online video playback (1080P quality), 30 minutes of TikTok, 30 minutes of Weibo, 30 minutes of "Honor of Kings" (highest quality), and 30 minutes of "Peace Elite". Judging from the results of
, after three hours of heavy use, the phone still has 68% of power left, which is a pretty good result. Especially when the screen display quality is better, the performance is stronger, and it is paired with a 4000mAh battery, this performance is very good.
Summary:
Judging from the overall performance of this WIKO 5G, it is not at all like the first domestic mobile phone brand. I believe that WIKO has conducted a lot of research before entering the country and is well aware of the needs of domestic users, such as good looks, good photos, and long battery life. The blessing of Hongmeng ecology makes it stand out among other mobile phones.
Combined with its large battery and 66W fast charging and other configurations, this product should be targeted at users who want their phones to last longer and be more durable. From this perspective, its competitiveness is quite outstanding. If you happen to need a new mobile phone with good overall performance, classic and high-end design, then WIKO 5G is believed to be a good choice.
