Wiko Getaway - User Reviews

  • Used the phone a year and come up with this list: Pros -Premium design: elegant and upscale screen with leather-like back cover. -Very light in wight and can take fair share of beating. -High quality camera and excellent screen. -Above average spec for its time with with other phone at this price-range. -Very affordable phone that feels much more expensive and high end than it is. Cons -Problems with battery not charging (fixed it once) -Runs out of juice rather quickly unless brightness is set to minimum. -Light use of earphones comprises the entire frame structure with costly replacement. -Metallic/plastic frame is easily susceptible to bending around 3.5 mm Jack head phone area at the top left. Continues use, spread the bend to the rest of the frame. No point at fixing the entire frame must be replaced (done it twice) -Internal mic problems -If screen cracks renders phone useless with costly replacement. -Below average range of receiving internet/wiki connection Overall it was a good phone. Highly recommend you buy it along with body cover saves you a lot of headache later on.

  • this is a 2014 phone....

  • Get a better phone! Seriously even the cheapest Samsungs perform better than this thing.

  • I'm telling you, it's so annoying

  • i have a wiko lenny which oftenly crush despite there being space available. What should i do to prevent the repeat please help

  • Please help me out because my wiko gateway suddenly goes off till now. What is the solution?

  • Take it easy my friends don't compere this company to those big-big companies that u already use before, this is a new one,"young shall grow " tell them ur phone problem they can find the solution. I already have WIKO gateway how can I update it to lollipop???

  • I wish no one ever buys it again,I have fixed mine 3 times ,1st time 8k,2nd 10k 3rd 18k and dis month I was told to bring another 17500.. No no dats it. I may look like idiot for spending so much on 40k phone but I believed in repairing and not throwing in the trash. But this time around no way am paying anything less than 5k for its screen repair. Nice phone though but too light and easily cracks.

  • Good for you.mine have visited repair shop 3ce already.

  • I can't operate certain functions in wiko getaway

  • it's awesome to use

  • One of the best phone ever i used its been a year no issue at all.

  • i experienced exactly the same thing

  • Please my people, i am using this medium to tell you that this wiko phone is total rubbish, they are using the useless phone to be extorting Nigerians. Please if you buy phone for almost #40,000 and it has screen issue and pay #15,000 to fix it back, does it make any good economic sense. i will make follow this to the last level.

  • why does this phone have to shut down before i instruct it and to turn on after it has shut down one has to remove the battery. the power button wont work after it has shut down!!!

  • Touch prablam

  • Touch with prbalam

  • My Wiko slide 2, takes long to charge but drains so fast, After service at Pioneer house, Kenyatta avenue, the same problem recurred

  • just press the down volume button and power button together.

  • Am having the same problem you know the cost and what the problem is?

  • Cool design like high end devices with nice price

  • i byeing before 3 months ago, model is good look.but mobile is evidery time hanging and restarting, not good, iam facing the problm after 1 week of purcharsing

  • Bought my phone in April 2015,after 7 months,it started draining the battery so fast then it even stopped charging,Actually it was charging with the battery percentage going reverse,from 70% to 68% to 52% etc,yet it is connected to the charger.I took it back for repair at wiko center(Tele Bell)at View park towers Nairobi but to my greatest disappointment after barely 1 &1/2 months later,it still has the same damn problem. :-( Total waste of money!

  • Problem solved

  • This is a great phone very good camera result and very smooth performance

  • This is a great phone very good camera result and very smooth performance

  • Bought this phone a year ago. Still working perfectly well and i had no issues with it. Only one negative point is battery life. When I just bought it,it could easily last for 1.5days. With time, the battery life became shorter. With heavy usage now,it stands for around 2hrs. I guess it happens with all smartphones, that after a certain time battery last shorter than when new. Overall its a great mobile. Very responsive,good screen colour, good camera, large memory and other great overall specs. Considering the price i bought it (200euros) i am satisfied. But i would not mind paying another 25euros or so for a better battery than 2000mah. But get over it,cheap mobile phones are not meant for using for eternity. Samsung A5 has almost the same specs but costs twice! I am satisfied with mobile as i used it without any problem for 1year. My rating 8/10.

  • I have this phone right now. the battery drains so fast. With continuous use it would only last for less than 2 hours.

  • where is screen shot???

  • I just bought my wiko getaway a couple of days ago. Honestly, this is fantastic android phone but I am here to back up the observations of others that the battery won't last for 2 hours of continuous use which is not good for an android phone.I wish my wiko now had a longer battery life. I'm partly disappointed.

  • Bought my wiko getaway in April 2015 from Jumia. I dropped it by mistake and the screen got a small crack after which my woes started. Due to the small crack the screen stop responding to touch rendering the cheap Chinese phone useless. I tried to contact wiko Kenya for direction to have the phone screen replaced but to my disappointment there are no wiko getaway phone replacement parts or accessories available. Note that I had a Sony xperia that had dropped enough times with the screen full of cracks but was still usable. Wiko aftersale services are just bad. Not worth it.

  • Hey I have bought this phone yesterday and the battry didn't last for more than 2h.I have also been downloading batterysaver but it doensn't really help. I think you need to improve the batteries. It would be your down fall

  • Around 200euros

  • I like the phone but need the price

  • Phone is good it has all operating system as other dose with good price. The only problem with this phone is battery it drains faster need to improve on battery.

  • this phone is great I bought it a month ago and still in love with it battery life is just of any smart phone camera is deadly great wiko gataway is the best beast smartphone.

  • How pathetic,I can't remember when last I ever saw a mere 2000mAh battery on a 5inch HD Android smartphone.....its made a total ridicule....on the Overall outlook,it was a little "OK"......but when you look deep into it,you see that This Is One Of Those Devices That Makes Cheap Smartphones Really Look Like Crap.....word of advice,they'd better take a que from the Lenovo 3k Note or Meizu's m1 Note,for the betterment of their next low cost smartphone.....#Touche!

  • Wiko phone has weakest battery I have seen .when u start scrolling,immediately battery starts reducing.Even if u are watching a movie battery goes first.so u need a charger every time .They should improve on the battery .

  • I have this phone and it has a network problem very poor signal

  • I just bought from Abudhabi and working very nice. Front camera 13MP really very good. Video quality is also very nice. I faced problem only with charging cable which shows charging but never charged.(Connected for more than 4 hours but charged only 10%). When I replaced with another other mobile cable it charged quickly. Screen clarity good. Really worth for price.

  • Good Mobile but battery back up not too much

  • hi! I am considering of buying this phone, it looks amazing and overall it seems to be a great phone, but since this brand is new I am afraid I' going to regret getting it. Is it any good? I mean, i have a sony xperia SP, and i know this one is not as good as the sony... My xperia SP lasts "forever" on his battery, is the battery of wiko getaway any good? I reallity i mean, because in teory a lot of phone are really good and then the battery is sh**. can anyone advise me on this? should I buy it or not?

  • One of the best phone i ve ever see
