Editorial note

The Wiko U Pulse is a smartphone that stands out for its interesting value for money, offering solid features for users looking for a reliable and functional device. With a 5.5-inch screen and a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, it provides a pleasant visual experience, although demanding users may find this resolution insufficient for consuming high-definition content.

Additionally, the 3000 mAh battery ensures excellent battery life, with talk time of up to 23 hours on 2G, which is perfect for prolonged use without frequent recharging. However, the Wiko U Pulse also has some drawbacks. The 1.3 GHz quad-core processor may limit performance when running heavy applications or during intensive multitasking. Furthermore, the 32 GB internal storage capacity could quickly become insufficient for users who prefer to download many apps or take a lot of photos and videos. Finally, although the Android 7.0 operating system is intuitive, it may seem outdated compared to more recent versions, limiting access to the latest features and security updates. In summary, the Wiko U Pulse is a good choice for those looking for a basic smartphone with decent features, but it may not be suitable for users seeking a more modern and versatile device.
