Wiko View 4 Smartphone Review – Chic Long Distance Runner for Little Money

Very chic. With an unusual appearance, Wiko View 4 tries to convince its buyers, but the inner values remain rather modest. Whether the smartphone with a French design can still convince, you can find out in the review.

Case, Equipment and Operation - Less Creaking, Please!

Wiko offers three color variants for the View 4: Blue with rose gold accents and an iridescent back that creates rainbow-colored light reflections. A color variation called Cosmic Gold, with pink as the main color. Cosmic Green, on the other hand, is a very dark green that is a little more reserved and is therefore probably intended for those who find the other two color variants too fancy.

The back is made of plastic and the smartphone tends to crack under pressure, which reduces the impression of quality. Pressure on the front in turn becomes visible in the liquid crystal of the screen. The device can hardly be twisted. Wiko View 4 is a fairly large smartphone, and its weight of 180 grams is reasonable.

64 GB eMMC flash and 4 GB RAM are quite alright in this price range, and there is a bit more RAM in comparison to the predecessor Wiko View 3. The smartphone supports two SIM cards and has a dedicated slot for one microSD.

In our WLAN test with the Linksys Nighthawk AX12, the Wiko View 4 cuts a rather moderate figure, here it is one of the slowest smartphones. There is also a maximum WiFi 4 and the offered maximum LTE speed is also quite low.

On the left side of the case, there is a separate Google Assistant button, which cannot be freely assigned. On the right, there is the standby button and the volume rocker, which can be easily felt and reliably operated. The touchscreen reacts quickly and precisely to input. You have to do without a fingerprint sensor in Wiko View 4.

Cameras - True Dual Camera with Third Lens

Recording front camera
Recording front camera

Wiko talks about 3 cameras at the back. However, it should be noted that one of the lenses is a depth-of-field camera with only 2 megapixels, which cannot be used for independent photos and whose usefulness cannot be proven. So what remains is a main camera with 13 megapixels and a wide angle lens with 5 megapixels.

The main camera basically takes sharp pictures, but if you take a closer look, it hides some details. Moreover, the image looks a little cool, which causes a white balance that tends to be more blue. The pictures could also be a little brighter. Despite all the complaining, one has to say that the main camera of Wiko View 4 does a decent job and produces quite good pictures for its price range. Even with very little light and high contrasts the result is still OK.

Videos can be recorded at a maximum of 1080p and 30 fps, which is already the lowest acceptable standard, even in this price range: the Xiaomi Mi A3 can even record 4K videos.

The front camera with 8 megapixels also takes decent pictures.

In terms of resolution and brightness, Wiko View 4 does not have to hide from similarly expensive smartphones. The black level is also at a fairly low level, so that good contrasts are achieved and the smartphone can display good black. It is also pleasing that we can't detect any PWM flickering, even at very low screen brightness.

In addition, the results from our test with the CalMAN software and the spectrophotometer are also good: Here, there is at best a very slight blue cast to be seen and the deviations of colours and greyscales are relatively small, so that one has a good picture impression and colours are displayed quite lifelike on the screen.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
30 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 13 ms rise
↘ 17 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 77 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
60 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 31 ms rise
↘ 29 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 95 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance, Emissions and Battery - 3 Days Runtime Possible

The MediaTek Helio A25 is an entry-level SoC that can deliver reasonable performance for a smartphone in the Wiko phone's price range. It may not be as fast as the Xiaomi Mi A3, but it is still a little faster than other smartphones in this price range. However, this does not necessarily apply to the graphics unit, which is lagging behind.

A warming is hardly noticeable on the Wiko smartphone, even under a longer load. Moreover, it is limited to the upper area of the smartphone. The small mono loudspeaker on the lower edge is not very loud, but high-frequency and therefore doesn't really bring good sound to the ears.

Due to the huge battery with 5,000 mAh, Wiko View 4 has the best battery life among the comparable devices, but the advantage is not as big as one might expect. 18:44 hours makes the manufacturer's advertising promise of "3 days without power outlet" seem realistic, at least if you assume average usage. Since the charger can only provide 10 watts of charging power, one should be prepared for charging times around 3 hours.

In review: Wiko View 4.
In review: Wiko View 4.

The Wiko View 4 is a cheap smartphone, well under 200 Euros, which immediately catches the eye due to its unusual appearance. You also get quite competitive specs if you choose the Wiko phone, a fairly bright screen with good color reproduction and a large battery that ensures long battery life.

However, you also have to accept some limitations: For example, the case creaks audibly and therefore doesn't seem very valuable, charging the device takes quite a long time and the loudspeaker is hardly a pleasure. The graphics performance is low, which is a pity because the application performance is again quite decent. There is also no fingerprint sensor.

The camera, on the other hand, takes decent pictures for its price range, which look quite sharp. The additional wide-angle lens also gives more flexibility than single cameras.

Wiko View 4 comes with good cameras, a bright screen and long battery life. There are some limitations, but it does well for its price range.

Our test device is therefore quite interesting if you are looking for a good camera, a colour-true screen and long battery life, but can do without graphics performance. Also, if you shouldn't expect too high internet speed, the View 4 can definitely give you pleasure.
