The French company Wiko has been dedicated in recent months to enhance its entry range , with smartphones such as the Wiko Y60 . A simplified terminal to the maximum. This time it is the turn of the Wiko Y50 , another model with very modest features, which boasts an elegant design, great storage and easy handling , thanks to the presence of Android Go.

Wiko Y50, nice design: Wiko Y50, an elegant entry range with large storage

Aesthetically this Wiko mobile follows the standards within the low range. Obviously the quality of the materials is in line with the price it has. Although the side frames have been reduced to the maximum, the same does not happen with the upper band, which houses the selfie camera with its corresponding Flash, the speaker and the sensors. The lower margin, where the traditional capacitive buttons are housed, is not short either.

Measurements, weight and finishes: Wiko Y50, an elegant entry range with large storage

Being a phone with a very small size, you will feel very comfortable and practical in the palm of your hand. Specifically, it has dimensions of 146 millimeters high, 73.5 millimeters wide, and 8.7 millimeters thick. To which we must add a weight of 160 grams. It also has a glossy finish in three different colors , so you can choose the one that best suits your mood: dark gray, blue and gold . A silicone case is included with this Wiko Y50 to protect the device from shocks.

FWVGA quality display

The Wiko Y50 sports a 5 ″ screen with FWVGA quality.

Its 5-inch screen offers great visual comfort . We are talking about a multitouch TN panel, which has a FWVGA quality (480 x 854 pixels) . Which translates to a pixel density of 196 dpi. It should also be noted that it supports 16 million colors.

A very basic setup

As we anticipated at the beginning, the Wiko Y50 is equipped with very basic hardware , headed by a Quad-Core processor that will give you the opportunity to enjoy a smooth experience without interruptions. This quad-core CPU works at a maximum frequency of 1.3 GHz. The GPU is an ARM Mali T-820 MP1 , which is enough to play with undemanding titles, but not much more. In general, with this mobile, in addition to calling and sending messages, you will be able to surf the Internet without interruptions and move through the most popular social networks.

It is a pity that it only brings 1 GB of RAM . Although taking into account that it comes with a reduced version of Android, we are going to see in practice how it behaves when opening the different applications and switching between them. One of the strengths of this Wiko smartphone is its large storage capacity . You can take the photos you want and save them in its 16GB ROM , which if necessary we can expand up to 32GB with a MicroSD card. With this memory you can store more than 3,200 songs, 6500 photos and 80 apps.

Easy mode

So that you have everything you need at hand, Wiko has developed an Easy Mode  that will show you on a single screen your main contacts, the applications you use the most and your favorite settings. Using your mobile phone has never been so easy.

Android Go at the controls

The presence of Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition) in this Wiko Y50 , favors that less powerful terminals like this one, work in an acceptable way, guaranteeing an intuitive experience and facilitating its use as much as possible.

Cameras with flash and FaceBeauty mode

Its 5 megapixel rear camera has an LED flash.

With its 5 megapixel rear camera with LED flash you can preserve every moment. This sensor has digital zoom (4x) and is capable of recording videos at 720p (30frames). It also incorporates other very interesting features, such as FaceBeauty, HDR, Panoramic, Live Filters, Time Lapse, Professional, white balance and image editor. P or with regard to the front camera is 5 MP and has flash and FaceBeauty selfie mode.

Up to 43 hours of conversation

It is now the turn of the battery, which is always one of the most controversial elements of any mobile. The Wiko Y50 has a 2200 mAh Li-Ion “battery” without fast charging , which is recharged through a micro USB port. The autonomy is around 43 hours (2G) of conversation , which reaches 305 hours in standby mode.

Wireless connectivity and other features: Wiko Y50, an elegant entry range with large storage

The equipment of this device is completed with two SIM slots:  , so you can separate your professional and personal life. Regarding wireless connectivity, this smartphone has WiFi under the 802.11 b / g / n protocol and Bluetooth version 4.2 . It also has GPS, A-GPS, headphone jack, and FM radio.

This Wiko smartphone comes with a silicone case, to protect the device from shocks.
