Question of personal test, I do not repeat here the data you find on this phone and available on the net. I draw you a picture as a normal user ...
+ Points:
+ Price
+ The weight: light, it almost seems to have nothing in hand or pocket, despite its imposing size (as the latest smartphone, no more or less)
+ Android: no wrapper which slowed android gross form almost. We like it or not, I like ...
+ Screen: reactive, precise and seemingly solid!
+ Network attachment: compared to my old Samsung Galaxy S1 I think it hangs Cink Peax faster networks and especially he loses less often, suddenly web browsing is more comfortable
+ Autonomy: it really holds up well charge! with average use (receive email every 30 minutes, 3 hours of music per day, 1 hour of video, some web browsing, some games not too greedy, 2h call ...) easily fits even 24 hours more. Fully loaded the morning, under the same conditions my old smartphone should be recharged in the late afternoon before leaving the job.
+ Double standard sim card!
+ Screen management: very good point! You can add almost as much screen as desired to sort our app. On one place you can put up to 4 shortcuts (on my home page I have such a location where I can easily access VLC, the integrated mp3 player, radio and the shortcut "read everything") . Can define which screen will be your default screen, the one you come back when you made a "home". I also appreciate the 4 remaining permanently shortcuts down the phone whatever 'screen on which you stand.
The -:
- The finger grip on the screen, you have to put a screen protector to solve the problem
- Sound: quality is just OK. When listening to music 1 and 2 levels are extremely low, and when we go to 3 it starts to scream (increased volume between lvl 2 and 3 is not linear). serious but not uncomfortable. Conversely, radio is blaring as soon as passes above the level 1.
- Faults:
1) my phone of "hiccups" at startup. The speaker walked randomly, as if the system were to be lapped. A month after the purchase, more speaker at all!
2) In the wake of the loss thus microphone Blige call with hands-free kit all the time. Despite all conceivable config, no way to make disappear the tactile feedback (vibration) associated with keys ...
3) failure of the backlight control key (home, settings, and backspace)
- Down navigation key phone not very sensitive
- Charger: Very average finish. The micro USB cable misbehaves up and suddenly we sometimes surprise aprce that the load was not done.
- Very low internal memory, I advise you to buy an additional SD card when purchasing the phone.
- The shell on the back: so too thin fragile!
- You can not install some of the Google Play app is to understand nothing!
- Battery charge lenteeeemmmeeeennntttt ... it really gave that!
- The perspective of the camera too that exceeds the hull and therefore get scratched quickly
- The front camera (the one that YOU films) that clogs at incredible speed! problem dustproof?
- Accessories: hardly any ... and the hands-free kit frankly cheap, no comfort for the ears and falls because no intra-oriculaire!
- SAV (mid August 2013): [see below detail] it took me called 4 times, each time with 14 minutes of waiting and automatic hang up the key + two unanswered emails to finally contact them. A week later I still do not have my return envelope ... I would comment on the service when I have solved my problems because it is an important point when buying a phone, even if it does not describe the phone itself.
- SAV end of 2013 [see below details] my phone does not click on the screen and suddenly it itself click anywhere on the screen ... back SAV: oxidation in the phone (without proof! ). But without being exposed to something other than a semi-tropical climate (Miami) for 2 weeks or used in a kitchen (water vapor). So in accordance with the normal conditions of use. Morality, this phone is extremely fragile this point.
>>> ADDING of 03/09/13: The service did not seek to understand by receiving my phone 45 minutes after receiving the confirmation I have a mail confirming me that I changed it. The new phone is arriving, Android has been updated and this solves part of my app installation issues with Google Play. The front camera gets dirty less quickly than the previous.
In short, not very expensive smartphone ok, but in the end I expect the return envelope for service from a semainealors I bought the phone there is a month and a half! A lot of painful or debilitating imperfections. I do not know if it comes from a particular series or all Peax Cink, but mine exasperates me because of these material problems so basically it's not a bad phone. I think Wiko win to put pressure on its manufacturer to monitor performance quality ... more
>>> Changing the 21/11/2013:
Second time my phone has to go in for repair, as it is haunted: at times more by pressing the icons and click against the phone where he wants! I return from Miami, is the sub-tropical climate is for something? (Ironic joke!) ...
My partner has the same and begins to have a serious problem also for 1 month (the phone has 6 months) because it turns itself off, sometimes it restarts for no apparent reason.
In addition the service has changed its policy and to pay back now is saying that the Post Office has lost a large amount and the repayment of pre stamped letters is very low ... it smells pipeautage !!! you will lose customers this rate!
Conclusion of 21/11/2013: a priori this phone is a good idea to not very expensive. But I am a bit angry after several months of use and I recommend to buy it because it finally seems to be quality monitoring serious problems for the manufacturer. Put a little more expensive but take reliable! I return at Samsung ASAP!
>>>> Modification of 13/01/2014:
My phone is Revenue Service without any work done on it and no explanation !!! After having had the phone, the reason is that there are traces of oxidation in the phone which shows that there has been "either immersion or exposure to high heat and humidity, as in kitchen "(quote from the SAV contacted by telephone). I never immersed my phone, I used my phone to Miami or the climate is semi tropical course and I sometimes use in my kitchen. I understand that, contractually, oxidation do take the phone out of warranty but it is nowhere stated that Cink Peax should not be used in a kitchen or in a semi-tropical climate ... I do not have put my phone over my pot of boiling water either!
>>> 25/02/2014: After expertise of the phone by an acquaintance working in Mobile phone service, there is no trace of oxidation! Witnesses of exposure to water are the same color as the purchase. I asked them their "method" to check if the phone oxidize but I have not had a response (2 calls including a very well received, + 1 unsuccessful email). I finally got a good return Chronopost to review their expertise through a third interlocutor who explained to me right this time ,. I await their 2nd opinion now ...
>>>> Finally, the oxidation witness placed at the -Mother card (thus inside the phone) turned ... but not those placed on the outside (at the battery). How oxidation can occur in the heart of the phone without finding traces in the outer layers ??? Mystery! Moisture in the cross magically hull, components etc to meet up in the heart of Wiko ...
Conclusion: Phone fragile! I will buy more WIKO!
Do not buy!
