Do you think that the smartphone market is already tight? Well, Wiko is not afraid of the competition as they opt to make their French brand available to the Filipinos. Wiko is a fairly new smartphone brand, which started in 2011, that offers widely to the younger generation with their minimalist aesthetic and innovative technology. Their first try in the competition is the WIko T10, which is known for its affordable price point. Will the Wiko T10 be successful in penetrating the tech market in the Philippines?

First Impressions
- The device is available in two colorways, which is the Emerald Green and Midnight Black. It also has a significant textured geometric 3D design at the back that are seen from mid-range devices.
- The front panel of the Wiko T10 is situated with a water drop notch that houses the front camera. It has a 6.5 inches of screen real-estate with a 89.3% screen-to-body ratio of curved glass material that makes a good hand grip. The display is an IPS LCD panel that has a 60Hz refresh rate, and has expected good viewing angles.
- Weighing at 192 grams, the device is very comfortable to hold but not the lightest among other smartphones. It is housed with a plastic material that acts like an aluminum with its glossy railing on the sides.
- As expected on low-range devices, the Wiko T10 only has a single rear camera sensor with an accompanying LED flash. The main camera is capable of up to 13MP along with a 5MP selfie shooter.
- The device has display features of ‘Dark Theme’ and ‘Night Light’ which makes you conserve battery and filter blue light for easy reading and unobstructed sleep.
- The WIKO T10 is equipped with a MediaTek Helio A22 (12 nm) processor, which offers respectable performance for inexpensive handsets in terms of everyday use. A quad-core processor running at 2.0 GHz is used by the SoC. It supports 4GB of RAM for multitasking and 128GB of ROM.
- A 5000mAh battery that supports 10w charging is what powers the phone. It also uses USB-C which is encouraging to see because even with the lower price point, Wiko gave out a more sustainable choice.
With these first impressions, I would say the device is very basic and promising with its offerings even with a low price point. Its camera and design is better than the competition that has a lower price point range.
The WIKO T10 retails for Php 6,499 at a 4GB + 128GB configuration. It is available in the colors: Midnight Black, and Emerald Green. The device can be availed on Shopee, Lazada, and other retail and authorized sellers nationwide.
