Wiko X70 with satellite connectivity, 6,100mAh battery and Kunlun glass unveiled

The Wiko X70 is a new smartphone that’s now available in China and supports messaging via a BeiDou satellite connection, which means the handset is not dependent on a cellular signal. This might be helpful in emergency situations if help is needed in a remote location. Apart from that, the Wiko X70 also supports 5G as well as dual SIM cards.

OLED and Kunlun glass

The latest Huawei smartphone measures 6.35 x 2.95 x 0.30 inches and comes with a 6.7-inch OLED display, which has 2412 × 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel is protected by Kunlun glass, which is supposed to be particularly robust and seems to be an alternative to the better-known Gorilla Glass. It should protect the phone from drop damage, and the Wiko X70 is also certified according to IP54.

No wireless charging

Meanwhile, the main camera has resolution of 50 megapixels, the front camera offers 32 megapixels. The 6,100mAh battery can be charged at up to 40 watts, but users will have to live without wireless charging. Furthermore, the USB 2.0 port is slow when transferring data via cable.

Different configurations

Unfortunately, Huawei does not name the SoC that powers the Wiko X70. Anyhow, the smartphone is offered in three color variants, namely with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage, 12GB and 256GB and a top version with 12GB and 512GB of storage. There are no details on a potential global launch, which appears to be unlikely. In China, prices for the Huawei Wiko X70 start at the equivalent of roughly $200.
