Wiko Cink Five: an Android smartphone with what it takes ... - TeK.sapo

The Wiko takes a few months in Portugal, but already has some models for sale. All dual SIM, one of the distinguishing characteristics of the French brand, partner fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer in China, and with prices that want to present inviting, from models of other brands with similar features.

So is based on the Five Cink. The smartphone had since beginning a recommended below 200 euro (199.90) price, but is now on sale at Staples (both online and in physical stores) for 169.90 euros, which may prove to be a good opportunity to acquire the model.

At first, the Cink Five can not give itself in the sights:. the brand is not well known and the design is basic, but the smartphone has its arguments, so we could check with their use

In terms of hardware, the phone dual-sim free system comes pre-installed with version 4.1.2 of Android Jelly Bean. It is equipped with a quad-core Mediatek processor at 1.2 GHz and has 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage memory, expandable via microSD card (up to 32GB).

Off stands out for its five-screen inches, but also linked, thanks to its resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels and its vibrant colors and high brightness.

With regard to image capture, the smartphone has an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera.

Use
Despite its measures (144x74x10, 7mm), weight with battery 2000 mAh installed (158 grams) is definitely not a problem. On the dimensions shown, and as with other devices of the same size, he notes that the use with one hand, it may be more difficult for those with small hands.

Compose messages in which characters change for lack of range is a constant is one of the problems (beyond getaways to the “footprint”). Moreover, the size of the screen quickly gain advantages when the intention is to navigate with the browser, view videos and photos and play.

And speaking of videos and photos, the main camera is 8 megapixels with Autofocus and LED Flash largely fulfills expectations, the same can be said about the front camera of 2 megapixels, traditionally designed to serve “for spending.”

The Five Cink shows the front 2-megapixel camera at the top, the button to turn off and on the right side, the volume controls on the right side. At the top is also located Micro-USB connection. When we turn the smartphone can find the main camera of 8MP one OMNI + BSI sensor and LED flash.

The MicroSD card is placed on the back, but internally, between SIM Card 1 and SIM card 2.

Regarding the interface, takes the usual features of the Android platform, with five customizable screens with different widgets and applications stored on the phone. Switching between screens is by “entrainment” to the right and to the left.

In the background the usual bar for direct access to features four customizable and a fifth (central and irreplaceable) for access to “pages” that keep all applications and widgets.

On top, the call status bar where notifications system, the state of Wi-Fi network, the Bluetooth connection, battery status, etc. are presented. Clicking and dragging the bar down is “unfolding” warnings and options.

Performance
Nothing pointing to the sound offered by the device in call by telephone to the heard as using the hands-free kit. As mobile touch that is, it should be careful to see if the keyboard is inactive when making a call with the phone to your ear.
The transition between SIMs is easy, with the possibility of using Management SIM menu to enable or disable the card or set the default SIM in different options, or leave the question about the always active choice. Have the option that identifies the origin of the call (Anonymous default) claimed the figure.

The Five Cink navigation is fluid and even multitasking does not disappoint. For here was played Fruit Ninja too, with few crashs and “like themselves.”

Autonomy could be better, or not, as always will depend greatly on the usage “Media” of the device. The low battery warning even gives some basic functions without leaving us completely hanging.

The 4GB of internal storage may be one of the less positive aspects of the smartphopne Wiko, but this is a type of resource that can be relative. Given the remaining features, functionality and performance, and despite the phone already tell some time in the Portuguese market, acquiring Cink Five compensates for 169.90 euros.
