Wiko has announced a new smartphone in Thailand called Wiko Power U20. This device got the moniker “power†name tag from the presence of a 6000mAh built-in battery. It is actually the first phone from the company to house that much battery capacity. The Power U20 is also the first smartphone from Wiko to use Helio G35 CPU from MediaTek.
The Wiko Power U20 is built around a 6.82-inches display with 720 x 1640 pixels. It has a dewdrop notch overhead, and within this notch, there is a single 5-megapixel selfie camera that supports faceID, which is the only practical security tech on the device, aside from the usual Android locks.
No fingerprint scanner at the side or back, but you are getting a triple rear camera sensor on the back, which is a combination of 13-megapixel main lens, 2-megapixel depth and a third AI lowlight sensor.
The MediaTek Helio G35 CPU used has 8-cores with a peak speed of 2.3GHz, accompanied with PowerVR GE8320 GPU, 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, expandable up to 256GB via SD-card.
The device runs Android 11, and offers dual SIM slots with LTE network speed. No fast charging is mentioned for the 6000mAh battery capacity, and not USB-C as well.
