After launching the Wiko Y70 , the French company returns with a new terminal under its arm, which becomes part of the ecosystem of entry-level smartphones . We refer to the Wiko Y80, a functional, affordable phone with modest but balanced features , with which it seeks to “mark ground” in this highly competitive segment.

Wiko Y80, simplicity by flag: Wiko Y80, with large HD + widescreen and better battery

Simplicity is the main design feature of this Wiko mobile . On the front, apart from the curvature of its edges, the most notable is a pantallion of almost 6 inches. Side frames are minimal. Nothing to do with the other two frames, whose size brings us back to reality. This is the reason why any type of notch has been dispensed with to house the selfie camera, which occupies its traditional place.

The front camera of this Wiko smartphone will help you unlock the mobile with facial recognition.

Choose between its different colors

When turning this Wiko Y80 , we find a plastic back that, in addition to being removable, gives the feeling of being very resistant. The housing houses a module in vertical position with two cameras and underneath the LED flash, as well as the logo of the Gala firm and the loudspeaker. Here the difficulty is in choosing between the different colors offered by the manufacturer: gradient dark blue, gradient bleen or gold. Each one more beautiful. It must be said that a protective silicone casing is included so that you always have it protected against falls and shocks.

Dimensions and weight

This device has dimensions of 160 x 76.5 x 8.55 mm , and weighs around 185 grams . On the other hand, it has all the buttons on the right side, leaving the microUSB input and the 3.5 mm jack at the top to connect the headphones.

Super big screen

For the screen of this Wiko Y80 , a super large 5.99-inch IPS panel has been chosen , which comes protected with a 2.5D glass . In this way you will be able to enjoy the best entertainment on a large HD + widescreen with 18: 9 format. It also has a density of 269 PPI and a correct brightness for the use that we are going to give it. Its 1,440 x 720 pixels may be insufficient for some users, but at this price we cannot complain. In any case, the experience when we start watching a video on YouTube or a movie on Netflix will be satisfactory.

Basic hardware

The Wiko Y80 bets on a Unisoc Spreadtrum SC9863A processor, which will allow you to play basic games.

We already warned at the beginning that the hardware of this terminal was very basic. And now you will quickly understand it, when you know that Wiko bets on a Unisoc Spreadtrum SC9863A processor , which includes eight ARM Cortex-A55 cores capable of working at a speed of 1.6 GHz. This octa-core CPU will become your best ally when it comes to watching movies, playing basic games, and using your favorite applications.

With regard to RAM, we will have only 2 GB at our disposal . Which seems too fair for this team. While an IMG 8322 GPU is responsible for the graphics , whose limitations are more than evident. We have the Wiko Y80 in two versions, depending on the type of storage we choose: 16 GB and 32 GB. If you want you can expand the capacity with a Micro SD card of up to 128GB . To “give life” to this smartphone comes Android 9 Pie .

Dual camera with bokeh mode

One of the main strengths of this terminal is its dual camera with bokeh mode , which will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your photographic talent. To do this, it combines a 13 MP lens with a 2 megapixel sensor , with which you will be able to create artistic images with a blur effect. For the photographs to gain in visual richness, an Artificial Intelligence Mode has been incorporated , which optimizes the quality of the images, even if they are captured in low light conditions.

Get your brightest selfie

Other very interesting features have also been included, such as digital zoom (4x), automatic focus, white balance, and an image editor. It can also record videos at 1080p (30fps) . With its 5 MP front camera with flash , you will get the brightest selfies. It will also help you unlock your mobile with facial recognition . Easy to use, safe and simple.

Connectivity: Wiko Y80, with large HD + widescreen and better battery

Thanks to its Dual SIM system you can combine your personal and professional life without changing terminals. The Wiko Y80 is capable of accessing 4G LTE networks , and has 802.11 b / g / n WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, A-GPS and a USB port with OTG support.

Autonomy for more than one day: Wiko Y80, with large HD + widescreen and better battery

But without a doubt the strong point of this phone is its 4,000 mAh Li-Po battery , which provides more than a full day of use. According to the data sheet, it offers 286 hours of autonomy in standby mode and up to 38 hours of talk time. To be honest, this would be the only reason we would put this team ahead of its competitors.
