Wiko Lenny3 Max, we analyze the most striking alternative of Wiko

We return to the load with the analysis of a mid-range device, because given the circumstances of the current market, they are undoubtedly the smartphones that are proliferating the most in the pockets of all users. Once again the French firm Wiko wants to captivate undecided users and little given to spend large amounts of money on a mobile phone, and for them they have an alternative that appeals mainly to the main demands of this type of audience: autonomy, a large screen and a long-term resistant body.

Thus, using the same analysis method as always, we are going to check which are the main characteristics of this mobile phone by putting both its strengths and weaknesses on the table, and deciding to what extent its acquisition may or may not be recommended. In the same way, we recommend that you go through the review we did a few weeks ago of the Wiko Ufeel Prime, the phone with which Wiko also wants to wink at the most demanding of Android territory. So, let's go there, and if you want to go directly to a technical section of the device, we recommend that you use the index that we leave above.

The design of the Wiko Lenny3 Max

 

The French firm once again appeals to its well-known designs, sobriety at the same time as elegance to give personality to a device with a very competitive price, but that does not proclaim it to the four winds. That is why in the back we find a one-piece chassis without any alteration in the design beyond the company logo, the rear camera sensor and the flash that accompanies it. At the bottom back, without reaching the edge and ending with the metal area, we find the perforations corresponding to the device's speaker.

Something that we cannot ignore is that the vast majority of the back of the device is made of aluminum. On the other hand, to provide greater resistance to it, while improving the performance of the coverage, we find two plastic surfaces of the same color as aluminum, thus preventing chafing of the sides by impact. We will find nothing more in the rear.

On one of the sides (the right) we will find the buttons for increasing and decreasing the volumeas well as the lock button. While on the front we will only have the availability of a black panel with three capacitive buttons at the bottom, the upper part is relegated to the front camera, the microphone and the proximity sensors. Without a doubt we are not before any boast in terms of design, nor does it pretend.

Where the Wiko Lenny3 Max stands out is in the range of rear colors that it offers us, we have a very interesting turquoise green, as well as the classic champagne gold and light pink. Of course, the most classic ones will have access to a version entirely in black. A negative point is that you choose the color option you choose, you're going to have to settle for a black front panel. Also noteworthy is the absence of a silver color with a white front, almost as classic as black.

The screen and cameras of the Wiko Lenny3 Max

 

We already started with the technical section, because we know that it is really what you want to know. The French firm bets once again on a five-inch front panel, this time in HD resolution. We miss a bit more resolution here, many low-end devices are already offering Full HD panels unlike this panel. 5 inch HD (1280 x 720 pixels) and 16 million colors, with a total of PPI 294However, we must always take into account the type of product that we find, and to compensate it offers us a panel with IPS technology that will allow us to expand the range of vision, as well as a powerful brightness of up 400 nits It won't stop us from consuming content even in broad daylight.

In the rear camera, once again without fanfare, 8MP sensor of which we do not know the manufacturer, but we imagine that it is the same one that most low-end devices mount and that gives unremarkable results. On the other hand, they compensate at the software level with panoramic photography capabilities, filter for selfies, HDR and on-screen flash. The rear flash is a monotonous white tint LED. As for the zoom, we have four increases digitally as well. We have the ability to record video at FullHD (1080p) resolution at up to 30 FPS.

On the other hand, the front camera, designed for selfies, gives us 5MP, without flash and with the same software features. The screen flash will be more than enough to get us out of the way in low light situations. Another highlight is its front with curved glass on the edges, the classic 2.5D.

The hardware in general of the Wiko Lenny Max3

 

Once again Wiko decides to bet on the mid and low range processors of MediaTek Quad Core A7 1,3GHz with the intention of improving consumption and autonomy, thus accompanying a more adjusted price. To accompany the processor we have 2GB of RAM, which have been shown enough for normal use and habitual of the mobile phone, it allows us to navigate without problems, consume content on YouTube or use the main instant messaging applications and social networks. Obviously the limitations are going to be found at the execution level of heavy applications, such as photographic editing or, for example, the most demanding video games with Unreal technology, despite its graphic processor ARM Mali 400MP.

Regarding storage, Wiko is planted in the 16GB of internal storageor in the device memory, which can be easily expanded up to 80GB if we decide to add a card 64GB microSD (maximum supported) in the card compartment. This will allow us to have plenty of space to manage and run all kinds of applications and files.

Autonomy by flag and connectivity without boasting

 

One of its strengths and that has left us most surprised is how its nothing unfolds less than 4.900 mAh battery, two days of heavy use without messing up, running the main messaging applications. It offers us on paper no less than 480 hours of rest. Obviously this positive point in terms of autonomy becomes a problem in terms of weight, we find a total weight of 177 grams, with dimensions of 143 x 73 x 9,9 millimeters, is the price to pay for a brutal autonomy like the one offered by this Wiko Lenny3 Max.

Regarding connectivity, we are going to miss access to the high-speed 4G-LTE network, since its antenna is not compatible, but with the usual 3G network. To compensate for the card slot, it allows us to add two SIM cards so that we can choose between our favorite companies. HSPA + connection will reach 21 Mbps uphill and downhill, which is not bad either. In normal coverage environments we do not miss 4G connectivity at all and it has performed well.

For the rest of connections we have WiFI 802.11 b / g / n with an important scope, Bluetooth 4.0 stereo capacity USB-OTG and do not dispense with the audio output 3,5 mm jack, the guys at Wiko have thought of everything. Connectivity GPS so that we can navigate without any complications it also accompanies this Lenny3 Max.

Conclusions after using Wiko Lenny Max3

 

We must always consider the type of device that we find, the Wiko Lenny3 Max is a fantastic mid / low range device that will be able to with the daily tasks. A phone designed so that we can keep in touch with ours and consume content quickly and easily. On the other hand, we find limited hardware in aspects such as the resolution of the screen or the rear and front cameras, aspects that could be decisive if we did not take into account the price of the same.

The Lenny3 Max from Wiko is an option to take into account As a first Smartphone for the youngest in the house, it is characterized by being robust and resistant, at the same time that its range of colors and its materials will make you doubt at first whether you are actually looking at a device of that price.YOU CAN BUY IT HERE.

Ultimately, we are faced with an alternative with sufficient hardware, resistant materials and enormous autonomy, which will certainly captivate the less demanding public with the capabilities of a phone, as it meets the basic needs of today's user.
