The Design
Wiko Highway Pure boasts a very slim profile at a thickness of only 5.1 millimetres. Little wonder then when its maker describes it as “the slimmest 4G in the world.” This smartphone is not only extremely thin, it is equally very light. It weighs just 98 grams (battery included), making it very easy to carry around without you feeling it.
Display and Camera
Wiko Highway Pure sports a 4.8-inch touchscreen with HD (720p) resolution. The display uses AMOLED technology, thereby ensuring crispy rendering of colours. It is protected by scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
The main camera of the Wiko Highway Pure uses an 8 megapixels camera that is capable of producing quality pictures in different conditions. There is also a 5 megapixels shooter on the front of the device for capturing decent selfies.
Processor, Memory and OS
Wiko Highway Pure is powered by a 64-bit, quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor. With speed clocked at 1.2GHz, the Cortex-A53 chip should do decent work, backed by 2GB of RAM. Internal storage memory of the device is put at 16GB and it is not immediately clear if this will be expandable. The running of Highway Pure is handled by Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) mobile operating system.
Extra Specs
Wiko Highway Pure is fitted with a 2000mAh Li-Po battery, which should be able to deliver enough power juice needed to run the device for a day or thereabouts. It supports 4G LTE (Category 4) connectivity.
