▷Wiko View 2 Go review: great performance at a small price 🥇

I had seen it some time ago at the IFA in Berlin and now it has finally hit the shelves. I'm talking about Wiko View 2Go, the smartphone of the French company that seems destined to conquer the low end of the market. Such as? I'll explain it to you in this review.

Few waivers

[

The rear part is made of plastic, however, enriched by a very pleasant - and colorful - metallic effect and a sturdy aluminum frame. Too bad for the bad oleophobic treatment: you will often find yourself cleaning the backcover to remove your fingerprints.

Looking at the back of the device, however, you will also notice a large absentee: Wiko View 2 Go does not have a fingerprint reader, an altogether understandable lack that is partially mitigated by the excellent facial release.

Finally, I would like to point out the presence of the micro-USB connector, located in the lower frame of the device, that of the beloved 3,5 mm jack, which is instead at the top, and that of the speaker, unfortunately located on the back of the smartphone. An unfortunate position that unfortunately tends to distort the audio a little.

Enviable performance

I'll tell you right away: Wiko View 2 Go is one of the fastest low-end smartphones on the market. The optimization work of the French company allows the device to be decidedly snappy, to withstand notoriously heavy applications and to make even the most demanding games enjoyable.

Excellent then the autonomya since Wiko View 2 Go is equipped with a 4.000 mAh battery that allows you to get to the end of the day without any kind of problem. And if you don't use it particularly intensely, you might be able to cover 2 days.

What about the operating system? On board we find Android 8.1 Oreo, enriched by a series of additional functions such asIntelligent Assistant, an application designed to keep the device healthy. In fact, the app takes care of freeing up the RAM, monitoring the smartphone to discover any viruses and freeing up space on the device.

A decent photographic sector

Wiko View 2 Go if you present with a single 12 megapixel rear camera, accompanied by LED flash and autofocus. The Sony IMX486 sensor performs quite well in everyday life, with good quality photos that you can happily post on social networks. Obviously in the dark things change considerably, but it is difficult to ask for more from a device that costs just over 150 euros. The front camera is also not bad, which will allow you to get discreet selfies.

On the other hand, the excellent camera interface should be noted. Simple, intuitive and fast, the application helps the user find what he needs in seconds. At your disposal then you also have HDR, many filters to be applied in real time and as many modes, including Portrait, Professional Shooting and Night Shooting.

Wiko View 2 Go: to buy it or not to buy it?

Wiko View 2 Go comes on the market at the price of 159 € and with many, many features that make it palatable for those who want an unassuming smartphone. The device of the French company in fact offers surprisingly good performance in any situation, but also a rather interesting design and some software additions that enrich the user experience.

Sure, it's not perfect, but we're still talking about a low-cost device.
