Display

The Wiko Getaway has a 5 inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels which is becoming more or less the standard size for flagships these days. The IPS display promises a wide screen viewing angle and a vivid display. Though the display isn’t perfect. It has its flaws, the device’s display isn’t standard to look at from every angle. It’s a bit yellow on the bottom right, and blueish towards the left. This has a huge impact on the brightness, color and the contrast of the display. The display isn’t given any finger print and is very reflective under the sun.

Performance

Wiko has tried to give you the best for the price and thus chose the MediaTek 1.3 GHz quad core processor which according to the reports has an average performance. It is negatively complimented by the 1 GB RAM which is pretty average for even a low price phone. Overall the performance is pretty average and the Android 4.4 KitKat is probably too latest and OS for the average spec sheet of this phone.

Camera

The phone has a 13 megapixel back camera with a limitation of 4:3 aspect ratio. For a 16:9 aspect ratio you will be reduced to 6 megapixels. This is pretty bad because all the competition offers an 8 MP pics with the 16:9 resolution. The image quality is good but not brilliant. With ample background light, the picture quality is good with vivid colors, but the dimmer the light gets, the worse the quality becomes. Video quality is average with a 1920 x 1088 resolution.

Hardware:

Sound quality is very good in comparison to other phones of same price tag. It has a built in 16 GB of memory which is pretty the best in class and also comes up with a micro SD clot for expansion upto 64 GB which is more than enough for anyone. Dual sim capability is amazing with one SIM to be placed within the phone and one on the side of the phone in the slot provided.
