The design is a matter of taste. But this Wiko acts very discreet and elegant. The name is only on the back. Of course, everything is plastic, with Ausname the display frame and the lens ring. But it all seems stable and firm: no impressions, creaking or column. The borders around the display are narrow, which is thin device, and with its rounded edges very well in hand. The only two keys are sufficient and fulfill their function. The switching pressure is fine, but the keys are a bit "shaky". Do not stand in front, are still easily accessible. The position of the volume control could be lower 5 mm, since otherwise the counter holding facilitated it comes when you turn the start button on the opposite side or off. The Wiko Cink Peax 2, although only 9 mm thick, but the camera protrudes about 2 mm, which makes them vulnerable despite metal ring. The included accessories is scarce with charger, data / charging cable, Quick Start Guide and Studs headset, but perfectly adequate. Mostly annoys you anyway just about unusable Snick-Snack.
Technically, I have nothing to complain about. The display is at 4.5 "with 960x540 pixel resolution outstanding. A higher Auflöung would indeed luxury, would have brought me no real advantage. Videos and films are smooth and free of pixels. The IPS panel allows a viewing angle of 120 degrees estimated sufficient, bright and contrasty. The touchscreen Ramparts and accurately, speaks with protective film immediately. battery, SIM and microSD cards can be pushed easily. The wifi works just fine and can quickly be installed as well as my 3 email accounts. The Quad processor running all functions smoothly, an email query quickly, google, games, firefox, downloads, everything smooth and error-free.
The rear camera delivers with its 8 MP decent photos with good lighting conditions, indoors despite dual LED flash rather poor and slow. The front 2 MP camera is supposed to take only the face and this they met satisfactorily. The handling of the two SIM cards running frictionless, they are automatically detected and installed, you can assign virtually anything one of the two cards: individual contacts, groups, SMS, data access (this also quite Unignore). Also, any SIM card can be individually switch off or. For most functions will always demand, which SIM card you want to use. GPS I do not need, I do not, I have not tested it, so can not comment on it. The other functions all run properly, turning function, compass, bubble level, etc. Proximity and accelerometer I could not test.
From the equipment actually missing -in comparison to the Spitzenmodellen- only LTE and NFC, and a Gorilla Glass. The plastic screen is lighter and it can be protected with a good film. LTE is currently still quite pointlessly, higher in the current data flow rates over GPRS or. My godson has an hour played around to 3-4 videos viewed on YouTube and a little herumgegoogelt, and straight 230 MB were consumed. Of course, Wi-Fi! With a data flat rate he would have my entire monthly data volume consumed. LTE so I'll probably never need, and for emergencies ranging 2G and 3G + (the Cink Peax 2 can also HSPA +) fine. NFC I will probably never use, I prefer to pay with cash. And for the local communication extends Bluetooth 4.0, which works flawlessly.
Installs comes the Cink Peax 2 with Android 4.1.2. A future upgrade to 4.3 or even 4.4 Kitkat is not yet known. Since Wiko but in France has good market share and expands just after Germany and the UK, I hope still is some. Secretly it was one of my deciding the criteria for the otherwise unknown brand Wiko. With opening safety I would still get cheaper and better equipped "China smartphones", but the secondary customer service I could probably have forgotten. Immediately after turn started the firmware update to version 07. This could of course be just an image gimmick to suggest regular maintenance.
Preinstalled come surprisingly little apps. Apart from the standard Google environment with search engine, gmail, PlayStore, so a simple browser, mail program, audio and video player, File Navigator, contact list, notepad, calendar, Yahoo Weather, Clock, and little more is installed. Now you can start all at once. In the internal memory but are only about 1 GB free, that is, a micro-SD is essential. A few ring tones, screensavers, etc. are also included. The audio-video player is very simple, but does the job. Detects but the songs do not appear when foreign characters in their names in the M3U playlists, for example, certain French or Eastern European characters. The same songs are however correctly detected in the gallery, displayed and played.
Disturb only doing me that in the clock the date is displayed in a strange format (year-month-day), although I have put it in the settings to Western European. But this is probably an Android app or problem. Similarly, sometimes do turn off and reset the display settings of the WLAN itself. This is but apparently caused by an installed game. Do I need to follow up.
CONCLUSION: very satisfied, very good performance and features for an average price. The price-performance ratio is so good that one can overlook loose without getting upset about certain inconsistencies, of which you anyway do not know whether they are attributable to the Smartphone, Android, or the apps. Although I am male and rather strongly built and with normal-sized hands, for my personal Gesmach smartphone is -despite advantageous dimensions and display housing ratio almost too big. Just like an S3. But even that is a matter of taste. Meanwhile me one is finally clear: a smart phone is not a phone, but a small computer with phone function. And for that I bought indeed my Wiko. To fast times to check my mail, to write a brief note on the way to listen to music.
