Wiko Lenny 3

It may be a budget smartphone, yet Wiko’s Lenny 3 still gives a bang for the buck. The 3rd generation in the Lenny series is improved in terms of its hardware and even comes in a wider array of colors i.e. space grey, brown, lime, cinnabar, gold and rose gold. For a budget phone, the Lenny 3 is a weighty device when compared to its rival, the RedMi from another Chinese manufacturer, Xiaomi. This is hardly surprising as it comes with a removable metal cover. Its dimensions measure at 145 x 73.1 x 9.9 mm. With metal rounded corners, it feels comfortable for holding. By removing the back cover, users will be able to access two SIM slots (a micro-SIM and a nano-SIM) as well as the microSD card slot (capable of up to 64 GB). Despite the lack of LTE support, it is capable of supporting 4 GSM and 3 UMTS frequencies. WiFi connectivity on this phone is decent albeit performance proves to be better on its competitors from Huawei. GPS coverage is also reliable and accurate. The Lenny 3 has an 8 MP, 1080p camera with autofocus and LED flash on the back, as well as a 5 MP front-facing snapper. Many would agree that the cameras on the Huawei’s Honor 5C would rank better; nevertheless the cameras on the Lenny 3 produce more superior picture quality than that of many other low end smartphones. Sound quality appears loud and clear from its speakers but lacks bass. Moreover, it features FM radio. The Lenny 3 has a special "WiCube" cover, which allows users to display data in cubes in a pyramid form. In addition, it is USB OTG supported. A standard 24-month warranty is offered on Wiko’s devices. The 5-inch display of the Lenny 3 with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels is quite good for a device in this price range. As its brightness appears to be on the lower side, outdoor use is highly limited. But, thank to the IPS technology, viewing angles are quite good. The device runs on Mediatek MT6580M SoC (System-on-Chip), which offers 4 cores at a clock speed of up to 1.3 GHz. Gaming performance stays on an average level but phones like this aren't made for gaming anyway. The same goes with its battery life, whereby in this aspect, RedMi will surpass it with its higher 4100 mAh capacity compared to the Lenny 3's 2000 mAh capacity. It is apparent that there is a notable improvement to the Lenny 3 and as mentioned above, it is a good entry-level smartphone considering its low price factor.

Comment

Wiko:

Wiko SAS was founded as a French smartphone manufacturer in 2011. Since 2014, the Chinese technology group Tinno Mobile has owned a majority of Wiko. They produce in China. The company has already reached a considerable market share in the French market in early years and expanded to Europe and Africa later on. Nevertheless, the world market share is low.

Reviews are only available since 2014, that is since the first international expansion. Recently, the number of reviews has increased. The ratings are average (as of 2016).

5.00:

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

70.08%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
