Colours are capable of lifting the spirits. It appears this was what motivated European phone maker Wiko to come up with the Rainbow, a device which is synonymous with vibrant and attractive colours. Now, the dual-SIM Wiko Rainbow smartphone isn’t just about colours, as it comes with some interesting features at a relatively pocket-friendly price.

The Design
A look at the Wiko Rainbow and you will see a smartphone targeted at the trendy and fashion-savvy. The phone offers a streamlined feel, which makes for easy holding. The Wiko logo can be seen at the top-left section of the phone.
There is a button on the right side of the Wiko Rainbow for locking and unlocking while the volume control is located on the left side. A loudspeaker is provided at the back and the regular ports can be seen at the top edge of the device. The device is available in seven different and attractive colours, hence the Rainbow branding.
Display and Camera
The Wiko Rainbow comes with a substantial 5-inch screen with HD 720 x 1280 pixel resolution. This should make for enjoyable image and video viewing experience on the smartphone.
For image capturing and video recording, there is a main camera of 8 megapixels at the rear of the smartphone. Wiko Rainbow also offers a 2 megapixels front-facing camera that should at least be enough to take some good selfies.
Performance
The phone is powered by a quad-core, 1.3GHz Cortex A7 processor, which should be capable of handling multitasking seamlessly to an extent. The Wiko Rainbow comes with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage space, expandable up to 32GB using a microSD card.
The smartphone runs on the Android (4.2.2) Jelly Bean operating system. It is fitted with a relatively decent 2000mAh Li-Po battery, which can support up to 16 hours of talk time on 2G and 10.48 hours on 3G, according to Wiko Mobile.
The Wiko Rainbow could be described a bargain when you consider its price vis-a-vis its features. The phone has already been introduced into the Nigerian market.
Pricing and availability
Wiko Rainbow is available in Nigeria. You can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Wiko Rainbow Price in Nigeria ranges from N33,000 to N40,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
