In recent years, we have seen how the price of smartphones has increased considerably until exceed 1.000 euros on many occasions, a trend that at the moment seems not going to stop. But we are also seeing how the price of smartphones, especially those of the entry-level range, has been falling.
The French manufacturer Wiko, one of the last to arrive in the world of telephony, is available in more than 30 countries and every year, it launches a new generation of smartphones for all budgets. As expected, and as happened at the MWC, the company has presented at the IFA held these days in Berlin a new range of terminals for all budgets and needs. We are talking about the Wiko View 2 Plus, View 2 Go and Harry 2.
With this new range of terminals, the company follows the current market trend, a trend that is heading towards greater use of screen size accompanied by fluid performance to meet the needs of the most demanding. Even the entry model, the Wiko Harry 2, integrates a panoramic screen in 18: 9 format, something that we can hardly find in the competition and with a price-quality ratio that is difficult to beat.
The rear camera of the View 2 Plus and View 2 Go, is manufactured by Sony, one of the best manufacturers of photographic sensors on the market, even if you do not implement it on your devices, so the results that we are going to obtain when it comes to preserving our memories will be more than good. In addition, thanks to our own integrated software, we can also make use of the Time Lapse function and slow motion videos. This software is also responsible for reducing noise to a minimum, even in the captures that we make with very little light.
