Wiko is expanding the Power series introduced at the beginning of July with the U30 with the two cheaper models U10 and U20 at prices of 129 euros and 149 euros. The comparatively large battery is also the focus of these two smartphones.

Power U20 comes with a 6,000 mAh battery

At the start of the Power U30, Wiko announced that it would soon add more smartphones to the new series. For 30 euros less, the U20 takes over the display, processor, camera and battery of the U30, but dispenses with the fingerprint sensor on the back, 1 GB of RAM and the more modern USB Type-C port. The 6,000 mAh energy storage unit is designed for 931 hours of standby, 80 hours of 2G and 39 hours of 3G telephony. Wiko assumes that users will be able to use the smartphone for up to four days.

Power U10 comes with a 5,000 mAh battery

Another 20 euros less compared to the U20 means that the U10 has to switch from the MediaTek Helio G35 to the Helio A25, whose Cortex-A53 cores and PowerVR-GE8320 graphics unit are clocked lower. With 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of expandable storage, the level of the U20 is maintained. The rear camera only offers one sensor with 13 megapixels, the two more expensive devices also come with sensors for the bokeh effect and AI-supported scene recognition.

Wiko has also adjusted the battery in the smallest model, but with 5,000 mAh it is still relatively large. Wiko states up to 692 hours of standby and up to 44 hours for 2G and up to 31 hours for 3G telephony with the U10.

The same display and handle for every model

All models are on par with the 6.82-inch display, which offers an HD resolution stretched to 1,640 pixels at 60 Hz. Each of the smartphones also comes with LTE support, Wi-Fi 4 and 3.5 mm jack.

Android 11 Go for that U10

There are other differences in the software, which corresponds to Android 11 in each case, but uses the Go version on the smallest U10, which was designed for weaker smartphones and has lower RAM and storage requirements. Google's Go apps are also slimmer, but do not always master all functions. The full-fledged apps can also be downloaded from the Play Store here.
