amazon Wiko Rainbow reviews

Wiko Rainbow is a collection of “rainbow” with 7 youthful color options, quite suitable for young users, personality.

Though popular, the Wiko Rainbow is a favorite maker with a 5-inch LCD (1,280 by 720 pixels resolution), 1.3 GHz Mediatek MT6582 quad-core processor, 1 GB RAM, Mali-400 MP integrated graphics and 8 GB of internal memory.

Present at Test Lab is the yellow Wiko Rainbow has been upgraded to Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

The handset supports two mini SIM slots, a built-in 8-megapixel camera with flash on the back and a 1.9 megapixel camera.

According to Wiko, this popular smartphone supports full connectivity such as 2G / 3G, 802.11b / g / n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, USB OTG and integrated GPS.

With testing tools in place, Test Lab found that Wiko Rainbow supports only three types of sensors – the proximity sensor, the accelerometer and the light sensor, which automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the light source environment.

Design, screens and performance

With a size of 146x74x9.3 mm and a weight of about 167 g (with battery), Wiko Rainbow looks rather cumbersome but still not too heavy.

According to the objective assessment of the Test Lab from the actual exposure, it can be said that the appearance of Wiko Rainbow looks somewhat less attractive and quite “thick” because the design distinguishes between the backside and the plastic body block.

Similar to some Lumia phones, in order to manipulate memory and SIM card slots on Wiko Rainbow, users are forced to completely remove the case from the camera body. However, the Test Lab was able to disassemble the backswitch only after a few seconds of operation.

SIM slot design and memory card slot are also easier to manipulate than some smartphones tested by the test lab.

However, it should be noted that Wiko Rainbow still does not support the hot swap SIM, and the design of the volume keys is not optimal when the machine is horizontal.

If you evaluate the design of the product on a scale, Test Lab really can only rank Wiko Rainbow at level 6 out of a total of 10 points thanks to the built-in mini LED multicolor indicator of the message, missed call or battery charging progress.

In terms of visibility, the overall design of the Wiko Rainbow screen is quite high enough to ensure image quality when used outdoors. The automatic brightness control function is also quite smooth with changes from the environment. Thanks to the IPS panel, the image quality of Wiko Rainbow is quite detailed, although the viewing angle is limited.

Wiko Rainbow shows high homogeneity in monochromatic displays. However, the screen design is still quite limited in its ability to reproduce contrast as well as colors that tend to be slightly lighter.

Powered by the MT6582 quad-core processor designed by Mediatek based on ARM v.7 architecture and released in mid-2013, Wiko Rainbow is capable of overcoming office tests, multitasking performance, and Entertainment with HD movies. Throughout the testing process with specialized benchmarking tools, Test Lab found that the final score achieved by Wiko Rainbow was very good (Antutu Benchmark, 3D Mark, Epic Citadel) and slightly better than the Lenovo S860.

The actual usage shows that the machine has screen transition speed, navigating between control menus and switching conversations between applications on Wiko Rainbow are very smooth. However, due to the limitation of main memory capacity, the startup speed of heavy applications is sometimes slow, especially when there are many applications running in the background.

About the game, Wiko Rainbow is also capable of satisfying high-speed 2D games like Sonic Dash, Temple Run 2 – to 3D action games like Dead Trigger 2, FiFa 14, Iron Man 3, Real Racing 3 ( Use the lowest graphic settings). However, users should also keep in mind when “fighting” in zoombie scenes; Or when the “glide” on the track appeared at the same time many cars because the machine sometimes still inevitably stopped the picture slightly. The practical experience also shows that the built-in Wiko Rainbow loudspeaker, despite the high volume, still has a slight rumble when heard at high volume.

On the user interface, Wiko Rainbow is a bit unattractive, but it would be flawed if Test Lab did not mention another plus point for this smartphone that is on the machine does not exist “junk software”.

Still, to be fair to say, Wiko Rainbow offers only a single, monotonous screen interface, and users do not have a lot of options to change the look.

By default, when installing the first application for the machine, Wiko Rainbow will create a new desktop interface to contain the icon of every installed application later.

In general, Test Lab does not appreciate the UI design on Wiko Rainbow.

Some Smart Gesture enhancements such as Gesture unlock, Gesture camera snap on Wiko Rainbow are generally not optimal, as throughout the trial, Wiko Rainbow is not very responsive to operations. Quick move hands; And the distance from the user to the machine is quite limited.

About the camera, Wiko Rainbow, with its Android-based imaging application, is also limited in its imaging capabilities. But in return, the quality of the photos taken by the 8-megapixel camera in a good light environment is quite attractive. The default settings of the Wiko Rainbow photography application for color images as well as detail can be pretty decent.

Also in good light conditions, Wiko Rainbow has very fast autofocus speed and is quite stable.

The quality of photos taken in a dimly lit environment generally does not have to be complained of because the noise is still within acceptable levels, without affecting the color and detail of the photos. However, it should be noted that in dark environments, complex light sources, 8-megapixel main camera will encounter many obstacles and blurry phenomenon is also unavoidable.

Test Lab really recommend you always carry your charger with you because the battery life of the machine is limited. For example, the machine can only hold 2 hours and 33 minutes in the battery test.

If used normally, the 2,000mAh battery that comes with Wiko Rainbow can run for almost a day with background applications (like Facebook, email enabled auto-update content over Wi-Fi connections). Low conversational frequency and screen brightness set at about 30%.

In short, Wiko Rainbow is powerful enough to meet the everyday needs of ordinary users with a fairly average display quality. The product also has a good quality 8-megapixel camera.

However, it is difficult for Test Lab to appreciate the UI interface design, appearance and battery life of the rainbow “strange but very beautiful” from France.
