Wiko offers ‘style and affordability’ with Rainbow

October 22, 2014 9:16 am

In line with its lower-end predecessors, Bloom, Lenny, Sunset, Fizz and Goa, Wiko’s relatively new offering, ‘RAINBOW’ is just as colourful and packs a bit more punch.

Rainbow is available in seven fun colours (just like a rainbow) and is sure to appeal to all personalities. Its 5” hi-resolution display means that movies and videos are a pleasurable experience.

PACKAGING

The box itself is just as colourful as the device. It also makes telling whether the seal is broken very easy.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

Once you break the seal inside the box, you’ll find:

A Wiko Rainbow device
Earphones
Charge cord and Plug Adapter
One Li-Po battery
A Warranty booklet
A Manual
Three SIM card adapters
Two extra colourful phone cases (great for colour matching and blocking)

I love that you get so much with the entire package; it just makes it so much more exciting to unbox. It’s also pretty cool that the company was thoughtful enough to include SIM card adapters – two big ones and a smaller one – a lot of phone companies underestimate the importance of making such items an integral part of the ‘follow-come’ accessories.

HARDWARE

The actual phone, as in, the way it comes in the box, is black in the front with a brownish-grey back casing, which easily pops out to accommodate the extras. The screen measures 5” with a 720x1280p IPS display.

SOFTWARE/PERFORMANCE

From display to look-and-feel to actual processor power, the Wiko Rainbow is a valid competitor with other devices in its range. Browsing and multimedia experience are pleasurable. Complete with cool gesture-based features, vibrating keys and a 4.4.2 Android Operating System, typing and generally operating the device is truly an enjoyable experience.

THE CAMERA

The camera on the Rainbow is really not bad at all (That’s a sentence you never thought you’d ever hear, isn’t it?). With a secondary camera of 5 Megapixels and a Primary (Selfie) camera of 2MP, picture quality is smooth, relatively clear and easy on the eyes. It also comes with extra features and settings to enhance your picture/video shooting experience.

The Wiko Rainbow is a pretty good buy if you’re in the market for a budget device with cool features and ample accessories. Look out, Tecno, it’s looking like Wiko will be one to contend with.

Vive la vie!
