I had a very bad experience with this phone. The screen is fragile af, the view angles are aweful... And I'm not even talking of the veeeeeeery sloooow 1Gb RAM and the 4Gb ROM.
When you put a quad-core nvidia furnace 4i in a phone like this, 1Gb is not enough.
Well, at least the battery life was acceptable, but what's unacceptable is the lack of updates. The phone is shipped with a late and unoptimized version of Jelly Bean (4.3), and was only upgradable to Kit Kat (4.4.3) and not even to 4.4.4. Tho, if you want to have an acceptable experience on this phone, you will need to flash an unofficial custom Cyanogen ROM, which comes with the last version of Kit Kat (4.4.4).
In conclusion, this phone disappointed me and made me leave the Wiko phones for a while, and I've switched to OnePlus in 2015 so... But for now it seems that they're making better quality phones (with Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU for one of them) for cheap.
I don't recommend this phone AT ALL.

I am a fan of Tegra phones, and i knewed that this phone must be better then my old HTC One X+. And now after two mouths of using my Wax and updateing it on 4.4.2 KitKat im completly thrilled with performances, especialy in gameing. But Wax also haves great cameras, and stabile 4G network support. Baterry holds great even on playing graphicly intense games. No problems there. Ofcorse at a begining, phone was laggy alot, not reacting (even on menues) but you dont have to root it and risk warenty, all you need to do is disable google apps you dont use and dont install facebook app (all these apps are huge RAM drainers) and your phone will just fly, smooth as a butter :D Now about gameing; not all games are suported in play store (like SW: KOTOR, X Com) but we all know alternatives how to install them. Another great suprise was PPSSPP Emulator. Most of the games work completly smooth (like Dantes Inferno, Ghost rider, wwe 2011, SW: TFU...) even on 2x psp resolution upscale, but GoW games are little slower on some parts of game but frame skipping does the trick, and bouth GoW games are completly playable all the way trough. Also phone games work great and smooth (even GTA VC) on max graphic settings. So if you ware wondering is this phone good for gameing, the answer is definitly YES.
In the end all i have to say is that this is the best phone i haved till now, for that price i got ALOT more that i expected

Mine was just a month old, always in a protective cover and stopped working. The shop kept it for five weeks, then said they had no trace of it. After two months, they said they had found it and it was damaged due to damp and not under warranty. They also demanded 30 euro to hand it back! Beware of shops selling this product, especially in Holland!

I bought a Wiko phone recently and the lady who was selling it to me at a shop lied about the features he explained features of a different phone then sold Wiko Lenny when I took it back they lied again saying they have to wait for the distributor am angry is this how you treat your customers this happened in Kenya

I have installed factory kitkat, SD Booster, optimized build.prop, disabled bloating apps... It is flying. Great processor, design, screen, camera, GPS speed, battery, forum community, too shame that from factory it is configured sooo badly.

This phone lags a lot from factory. A lot meaning even that it cannot respond for a whole minute.
The solution is rooting, installing SD Booster and tweaking build.prop as instructed on forums regarding this issue.
Otherwise it is a beautiful phone(HTC like design), slim, the GPS locks super fast, the screen is amazing even if a bit dark(I like it just like that), the camera is way better than the ones on the cinese phones. I reccomend it if you know how to root and edit build.prop.
