Editorial note

The Wiko Darkside presents itself as an affordable smartphone offering several interesting features. Its 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels provides a pleasant visual experience, although some users may find this resolution a bit limited compared to contemporary standards. The modern and attractive design also contributes to comfortable daily use. In terms of performance, the 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor ensures smoothness for basic tasks, but the 1 GB of RAM may lead to slowdowns during multitasking. The internal storage capacity of 16 GB is another point to consider, as it may not be sufficient for users wanting to store many multimedia files, especially since there is no support for memory cards. The 12 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash is an asset for capturing quality photos, even in low-light conditions. However, the absence of FM radio and the Android 4.2.1 operating system, which is outdated, may disappoint some users looking for modern features and regular updates. Finally, the 2600 mAh battery stands out for its satisfactory autonomy, offering up to 17 hours of talk time on the 2G network, making it a practical choice for daily use. In summary, the Wiko Darkside offers good value for money for those seeking a functional smartphone, but its limitations in terms of RAM, storage, and software updates may be drawbacks for more demanding users.
