Case, equipment and operation - View 4 with face recognition
Wiko View 4 Lite has a frame and a plastic back. The former is quite strikingly curved outwards, which makes the smartphone look a bit wider. The gaps are tight and close evenly, and the Smartphone will not make a sound when it tries to twist the frame. The battery is firmly installed and there is no special protection against the penetration of dust and water.
The micro-USB port looks a bit old-fashioned, but is still quite common in this price range. MicroSD cards are supported up to a size of 256 GB according to the manufacturer's specifications, but without exFAT support. DRM certification is also not available, so that correspondingly protected content can only be played back in SD quality. Corded headphones can be connected to the audio jack, which serve as an antenna for the FM receiver. Unfortunately NFC does not exist.
The Wiko View 4 Lite can only access the mobile internet via the LTE network at best. This is not very fast, but all important frequency bands are supported. Only the 2.4 GHz network is available in the WLAN. This is sufficiently fast, but the View 4 Lite does not manage to establish a stable connection to our reference router Netgear Nighthawk AX12.
The voice quality is fine. The speaker is occasionally accompanied by a little noise, but is always easy to understand. No noise suppression has not been implemented, but the microphone focuses on the frequency range of the human voice, so that the View 4 user can be easily understood even in noisy environments. The loudspeaker transmits speech somewhat softly and slightly reverberating, but is easy to use in quiet environments. If supported by the provider, the Wiko smartphone can also handle VoLTE and WLAN calling.
The capacitive touch screen reliably recognizes inputs and converts them accurately. The glass surface offers good sliding properties. Google's GBoard is pre-installed as a keyboard layout.
The View 4 Lite does not have a fingerprint scanner, but face recognition (2D) can be set up. This works very reliably, but is less secure and also takes a moment to identify.
Android 10 is used as the operating system. Unfortunately, the security updates at the time of the test (June 2020) are still at the level of 5 January 2020 and thus already quite old.

Cameras - Triple camera with half-hearted ultra-wide angle
The front camera does not provide a high resolution, but it can provide good images in daylight. The colors are shown a little too bright, but the optics can cope with difficult light situations quite well, only in low light it quickly reaches its limits.
The main camera takes decent pictures in daylight, but tends to over-expose bright areas of the picture. There is no optical zoom and digital is already over with a fourfold magnification. The ultra wide angle is not really convincing and is also not very wide with just 114°. Especially in terms of sharpness and richness of detail, some concessions have to be made. The third sensor only collects depth information. Videos can be recorded in 1.080p (30 FPS).

Display - View 4 Lite with large IPS panel
With 6.52 inches, the Wiko View 4 Lite has a very large display, but due to the small HD resolution, it does not provide a particularly high pixel density and pixel structures are therefore quite visible.
The brightness is good and there should only be problems to see anything on the display on very sunny days. However, in measurements with evenly distributed bright and dark areas, the values drop somewhat and the View 4 Lite still reaches 492 cd/m² (black value: 0.39 cd/m²; contrast: 1,262:1) in the center of the picture.

Performance, emissions and battery life - Short waiting moments paired with long endurance
The Helio A25 is an entry-level SoC at the lower end of the performance scale, which is certainly reflected in the benchmarks. Nevertheless, the Wiko phone achieves a decent system performance, which is perfectly sufficient for everyday tasks and simple casual games. However, the View 4 Lite likes to allow itself an extra second of memory, which is mainly due to the rather slow memory.
The surface temperatures are harmless and even under constant load the smartphone doesn't even get hand-warm.
The loudspeaker on the bottom edge can't really convince, sounds dull and doesn't offer any depth. If you want to listen to something longer with the View 4 Lite, you'd better reach for an external sound output. The audio jack delivers a much better sound image, even if the signal to noise ratio of 48.28 dBFS is only satisfactory.
With 4,000 mAh, the battery of Wiko View 4 Lite offers a lot of power and can also convert this into very good runtimes in the test.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Good beginner with long battery life
Compared to its predecessor, Wiko View 4 Lite is only a smooth upgrade, but it can be considered a success. Due to the strong battery, it delivers very good runtimes and can also convince with a decent voice quality. The memory equipment is appropriate for its class. However, exFAT support for microSD cards would be desirable.
The Wiko View 4 Lite convinces with a long battery life and good telephony characteristics.
The display is quite good considering the low price and the camera is sufficient for occasional snapshots, only the ultra wide angle lens isn't really convincing. This also applies to the speaker. Moreover, security updates come only very irregularly. For this, it additionally offers full Dual-SIM support.
