Wiko View4
- Potentially lower price point
- Functional for basic smartphone tasks
- Reliable Mediatek chipset
- Slightly slower processor than the Y6p
- No reverse charging capability
- Limited detailed specifications
Huawei Y6p
- Faster processor (Helio P22)
- Reverse wired charging for accessories
- Slightly smoother multitasking
- May be slightly more expensive
- 10W charging is relatively slow
- Still an entry-level chipset
Display Comparison
Neither Wiko nor Huawei provide display specifications beyond size. Given their market positioning, both likely utilize IPS LCD panels. The absence of detailed specs suggests similar viewing experiences – adequate for everyday use but lacking the vibrancy and responsiveness of higher-end displays. Expect standard 60Hz refresh rates on both.
Camera Comparison
Detailed camera specifications are unavailable. However, given the price bracket, both phones likely feature a primary camera paired with depth or macro sensors of limited utility. Image quality will be heavily reliant on software processing, and users shouldn't expect flagship-level performance. The absence of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on either device suggests similar low-light performance limitations.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Huawei Y6p’s Mediatek Helio P22 (MT6762R) features a CPU clocked up to 2.0 GHz, while the Wiko View4 uses the Helio A25 (MT6762D) with a peak clock speed of 1.8 GHz. While both are octa-core designs utilizing Cortex-A53 cores, the higher clock speed of the P22 translates to a noticeable, albeit modest, performance advantage in tasks like app loading and web browsing. The P22’s slightly more powerful GPU will also offer a marginally better gaming experience, though neither chipset is designed for demanding titles. Both devices will likely struggle with graphically intensive games at higher settings.
Battery Life
Battery capacity is not specified for the Wiko View4. The Huawei Y6p includes 10W wired charging and, crucially, supports reverse wired charging. This allows the Y6p to act as a power bank for other devices, a feature absent on the Wiko View4. While 10W charging is slow by modern standards, it’s adequate for overnight charging. Without the View4’s battery capacity, it’s difficult to definitively state a battery life winner, but the Y6p’s reverse charging capability provides a tangible benefit.
Buying Guide
Buy the Wiko View4 if you need a functional smartphone for basic tasks like calling, messaging, and light social media use, and are primarily focused on securing the lowest possible price. Buy the Huawei Y6p if you value a marginally faster processor for smoother multitasking, and appreciate the added utility of reverse wired charging to top up accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Will the Huawei Y6p's reverse charging significantly extend the battery life of my Bluetooth earbuds?
While the Y6p's 10W reverse charging won't fully charge large devices quickly, it's sufficient to provide several hours of additional playback time for Bluetooth earbuds or a small power bank. It's a convenient feature for topping up accessories on the go.
❓ Can the Wiko View4 handle popular games like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile?
The Wiko View4's Helio A25 chipset is not designed for demanding gaming. While you may be able to run PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile at the lowest graphics settings, expect significant frame rate drops and a less-than-optimal gaming experience. The Huawei Y6p will offer a slightly better experience, but neither phone is a gaming powerhouse.
❓ Is the difference in processor speed between the Helio P22 and Helio A25 noticeable in everyday use?
The difference is noticeable, but not dramatic. The Helio P22 in the Y6p will feel slightly snappier when opening apps, switching between tasks, and browsing the web. However, for basic tasks like calling and texting, the difference will be minimal.
