Wiko just recently added to their Lenny series, introducing the Wiko Lenny 5 to their budget list of smartphones. The smartphone touts a conventional design, albeit a simple one with nothing out of the ordinary in the spec sheet either. It also belongs to the family of smartphones with Android Go OS which is specifically made for entry level phones. Looking for a smartphone that offers elementary Android features? This might just be the one for you. Let’s check it out.

Wiko Lenny 5 Key Specs and Features
- 5.7-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels (282 ppi)
- Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition)
- Quad-core MediaTek MT6580M CPU with 1GB RAM
- 16GB built-in storage, up to 64GB with a memory card
- 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera
- 3G connectivity
- 2, 800mAh removable Li–ion battery
Design and Display
The Wiko Lenny 5 looks much like how a normal entry level smartphone should and maintains a plastic build like the bunch of others in its league. The only thing somewhat modern feature in its build is the fact that it has an 18:9 aspect ratio and not too much bezels. The back cover is removable and has a camera placed centrally while the flashlight is below it in the same cylindrical space.
Fair enough, the Wiko Lenny 5 does quite well within the scope of a low-end smartphone with Go Android OS. The smartphone sports a 5.7-inch display which is backed up by a fairly nice enough resolution of 1440 X 720 pixels. If you know a number of other Go Android phones, you would know this is a fair offering.
Battery and Camera
Following the same trend as most of these low budget smartphone, the Wiko Lenny 5 doesn’t have up to a standard battery capacity. So are the specs if you look at it well, however, the battery capacity is 2, 800mAh a tad lesser than average. You would not be getting fast charge on the smartphone which is not really expected anyway.
Cameras are not so great on this type of smartphone and neither is it with the Wiko Lenny 5. The smartphone features an 8MP camera with HDR, timer, burst shot and the likes but doesn’t actually have Autofocus. Atop the screen, you’ll be using a 5MP camera for taking selfies with LED flash for light in the dark.
Hardware and Software
At the center of it all, there is a budget chipset which to be honest is quite a low tier tech. Definitely a Quad-core SoC ,the MediaTek MT6580M processor will be used alongside a Mali-400 MP2 GPU. In addition, there is a 1GB RAM as well as 16GB storage – a mantra for these set of Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition running phones.
Wiko Lenny 5 Pricing and Availability
The Wiko Lenny 5 will be selling for about 42, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
