Wiko View Lite Smartphone Review
The French manufacturer Wiko not only offers smartphones in different price segments, but also pays special attention to the needs of the users when it comes to the size of the smartphones. The Wiko View Max and the Wiko View 2 Pro are the largest devices that the French smartphone maker offers. Both devices come with a 6-inch screen. Our current review device has a 5.45-inch display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and therefore is well-suited for small hands.
The Wiko View Lite costs approximately 160 Euros ($181). For this money, you will get a MediaTek MT6739 SoC with the PowerVR GE8100 graphics unit, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC flash storage. There is plenty of competition in this price range. This is why we will compare the Wiko View Lite to other similarly-priced smartphones. The competing devices include: The Gigaset GS185, Alcatel’s 3V, the Nokia 3.1 and BQ’s Aquaris U2.
Case – The Wiko View Lite has a colorful case
The Wiko View Lite has a rigid plastic case, which comes in the following color schemes: Gold, Black and Red. The case is well-built and very comfortable to hold in the hand. Tiny indentations on the sides and the back give the smartphone a stylish look. The physical buttons are located on the left side. These buttons do not wobble. The Nano SIM/MicroSD card slot is also very robust. The fingerprint sensor and the main camera are located on the back of the device.
Connectivity – The Wiko smartphone comes with an entry-level SoC
Buyers of the Wiko View Lite get a smartphone with the MediaTek MT6739 SoC and the PowerVR GE8100 graphics unit. 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC flash memory round off the package. All in all, the Wiko View Lite is a cheap mid-range smartphone. The storage space can be expanded by up to 128 GB with the help of a MicroSD card. Those who do not need additional storage space can put a second Nano SIM card in the smartphone instead.
Data can be transferred via a wired connection with the help of the Micro-USB port, which operates at USB 2.0 speeds. Headsets and speakers can be connected to the device through the 3.5-mm audio jack or Bluetooth 4.2.
Software – The Wiko smartphone features stock Android
The Wiko View Lite runs Android Oreo 8.1. The security patches were last updated on February 5 2018. The manufacturer has not made any serious changes to the user interface. Besides a few preinstalled apps from Wiko, there is also the “Smart Left Page” feature, which is an integral component of the software. This provides users with all the relevant notifications and information on a separate home screen. The number of third-party apps is also manageable. Here, we only encountered the Facebook application in the app drawer, which can only be disabled. It cannot be uninstalled.
Communication and GPS – The Wiko smartphone has slow Wi-Fi
The Wiko View Lite can operate in most mobile networks. It supports the following mobile communication standards: GSM, 3G and LTE. The LTE module operates at Category 4 speeds (download: 150 Mb/s, upload: 50 Mb/s). The Wiko View Lite also features support for the IEEE-802.11 standards b, g and n and Bluetooth 4.2.
The Wi-Fi performance of the Wiko View Lite is below average. With 10 Mb/s, the Wiko smartphone takes last place in our comparison chart. The Wi-Fi is fast enough for casual Internet browsing. However, streaming video or downloading large chunks of data is going to be problematic.

We use the app called "GPS Test" to determine how good the Wiko smartphone is at geo-location. Outdoors, the Wiko View Lite exhibits a margin of error of 2 meters (~6 ft). Indoors, our review device fails to establish a satellite connection.
On our compulsory bike ride, the Wiko View Lite proves to be quite accurate when compared to our reference-grade navigator Garmin Edge 520. However, some narrow turns are not registered properly and there are a few minor deviations from our actual route. Nevertheless, the Wiko View Lite is more than suitable for casual navigation.
Telephony and Call Quality – The Wiko smartphone with decent call quality
The Wiko View Lite comes with the standard Android phone app. Therefore, dialing numbers and looking up contacts is easy. When talking on the phone, neither our call partner nor we had any difficulty understanding each other. The microphone does a good job of suppressing ambient noise. However, the maximum volume could have been somewhat higher, because background noise can sometimes hamper understanding.
Cameras – The selfie cam in the Wiko View Lite
The Wiko View Lite has two cameras: The 13 MP rear-facing camera and the 16 MP front-facing camera. The latter takes good selfies, which are slightly blurry. Under normal lighting conditions, the colors look good and the contrast is also acceptable. A number of effects can be applied to the images before you take them, such as Gaussian blur, depth of field and many others.
The main camera of the Wiko View Lite does not blow out highlights. However, there is a noticeable loss of detail in darker areas. Panoramic shots seem washed-out and unevenly lit. Nevertheless, the contours of very distant objects are still recognizable. The camera of the Wiko View Lite does better when taking pictures of objects in close proximity. Here, the objects in darker areas of the image are still difficult to make out, but the overall detail reproduction and sharpness are quite good. The objects are very hard to recognize in shots taken in low-light conditions. They almost completely disappear. The Wiko View Lite cannot take sharp photos in poorly-lit environments. In Pro mode, the following camera settings can be adjusted: Saturation, brightness, white balance, ISO sensitivity and the manual focus.
Videos taken with the Wiko View Lite appear washed-out and suffer from the same problems as the photos. Moreover, the videos are also very shaky because the Wiko smartphone does not support video stabilization.
We use the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport to evaluate the color reproduction of the Wiko View Lite’s camera. Here, the main issue revolves around brightness: Dark colors look too dim and bright colors appear overblown. Pastel colors are most affected here. In addition, the white is afflicted by a grayish haze.
Our test chart, which we photograph under controlled lighting conditions, is well reproduced. Contours and details at the edges are easy to recognize. However, the image is too dim.
Accessories and Warranty – The Wiko smartphone comes with a 2-year warranty.
The box includes a USB charger with an appropriate USB cable, a SIM card removal tool and a stereo headset. Wiko does not offer any accessories for the View Lite. Therefore, additional accessories can only be purchased from third-party manufacturers.
The Wiko View Lite features a 24-month warranty. Please see our Guarantees, Return policies and Warranties FAQ for country-specific information.
Input Devices and Handling – The Wiko smartphone has a good touchscreen
Google’s GBoard serves as the default keyboard. Therefore, typing messages and emails is very easy. The touchscreen reacts reliably and promptly to all inputs. The drag-and-drop functionality works very well, because the touchscreen has a smooth surface. However, the motion sensor responds to inputs with a delay. This is why the smartphone does not change the screen orientation right away.
The fingerprint sensor on the back is fast and reliable, which is why it is a good alternative to a pattern or a password for unlocking the smartphone.
Display - The Wiko smartphone has a bright display
The Wiko View Lite features a 5.45-inch IPS panel. It has a native resolution of 1440x720, which is perfectly normal for a device in this price range. The Wiko View Lite beats all other competing devices when it comes to brightness. Our review device comes with a somewhat uneven brightness distribution of 89%. This should not have any negative impact on day-to-day use. However, PWM flickering can have negative implications for susceptible individuals. The display flickers at a frequency of 96 Hz at 20% brightness and below.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 96 Hz | ≤ 20 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 96 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 20 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 96 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8437 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The contrast ratio of our review device is quite mediocre (873:1) and the black value is also quite high (0.6 cd/m²). This is why the images look washed-out and the colors are hard to tell apart. Moreover, the blacks do not look deep and appear quite grayish. The smartphone also suffers from a bluish cast. All in all, the Wiko smartphone takes a middle spot in our comparison chart. The only smartphone it can beat in terms of the contrast ratio and brightness is the Gigaset GS185.

Outside, the display of the Wiko View Light is usable. The brightness is high enough to be able to read the screen content even on sunny days. However, the screen becomes almost unreadable in direct sunlight. Reflections can also make reading the screen content very difficult.
The IPS panel of the Wiko View Lite has very stable viewing angles. Therefore, the screen content is legible from any angle. This is why the Wiko smartphone can be used from unusual positions, as long as there are no reflections on the screen.
Performance – Smartphone for simple tasks
The Wiko View Lite comes with the MediaTek MT6739 SoC and the PowerVR GE8100 graphics unit. Moreover, the Wiko smartphone is equipped with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of eMMC storage. This is why it is powerful enough for the smooth operation of Android and can also run most simple apps.
The benchmark results are quite average. All in all, the Wiko View Lite performs just as well as other smartphones with the same SoC. The more expensive devices can beat the Wiko smartphone in almost every benchmark. However, in everyday use, our review device performs quite well. Applications open fast and operate smoothly.

Gaming – The Wiko smartphone for games
The Wiko View Lite can run simple 3D games. Demanding titles are only playable on low settings and the loading times in such titles are quite long.
The games that we tested, such as "Arena of Valor"and "Dead Trigger 2", ran without any problems. However, there are certain limitations when it comes to online gaming due to the poor Wi-Fi performance. The touchscreen works reliably during long gaming sessions. The motion sensor does not respond to inputs right away, which makes playing games that use it difficult.
Emissions – Wiko smartphone with a good speaker
Temperature
The Wiko View Lite does not become hot. When idle, the surface temperatures hover around 30 °C (~86 °F). Under load, the temperatures reach up to 45 °C (~113°F). This is why the device feels very warm in the hand, but it never feels hot. The high temperatures have no negative effect on performance.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 44.2 °C / 112 F, compared to the average of 35.1 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 63.7 °C for the class Smartphone.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 45.3 °C / 114 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F
(±) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 33.8 °C / 93 F, compared to the device average of 32.8 °C / 91 F.
Speakers
The speaker of the Wiko View Lite can be used to listen to music or other media content. The maximum volume is high enough for the Wiko smartphone to be able to fill a quiet room with sound. The mids are very well-reproduced, the highs are below their normal levels and the lows are mostly missing. The Wiko smartphone works well in speaker mode. However, the included stereo headset is a much better alternative for talking on the phone than the speaker. The Wiko smartphone supports noise cancelation, and it also has a high overall volume.

Verdict – Smartphone with good battery life, but poor Wi-Fi performance
In our review, the Wiko smartphone proves to have a few slight advantages. The small size, a low weight and a good brightness represent the main highlights. The main disadvantage is the poor Wi-Fi performance, which is below average even for a smartphone with such a price tag.
The Wiko View Lite is a low-priced, easy-to-handle smartphone for simple tasks. The View Lite’s Wi-Fi performs very poorly.
Potential buyers should ask themselves whether they are going to primarily use LTE to surf the Internet and whether they are going to be happy with a smartphone that only offers enough performance for simple tasks. With the Wiko View Lite, users will get a cheap smartphone with a robust case and long battery life. Thanks to the high brightness, the display is legible even in daylight.
