Although the government aims to fully implement face-to-face classes in all public and private schools starting November 2, 2022, some schools still implement full online or blended learning to better protect students against a possible surge in COVID-19 cases. Thus, smartphones are still essential in this year’s back-to-school shopping lists.
For students who prioritize good design, functionality, and affordability, WIKO‘s T-series offers the perfect back-to-online class smartphones. The Marseille-based smartphone brand recently released two new smartphones — the WIKO T10 and WIKO T50. Both are big in features and style but affordable on the budget. WIKO was founded in France in 2011. Since then, it has built a solid following thanks to the fusion of its French-chic design and the latest smartphone hardware. It has dominated the Western Europe market and has since expanded into over 30 territories worldwide including the United States, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Now, the brand is available in the Philippines.

The WIKO T10 features 64 GB of expandable internal storage, exceeding the Department of Education’s (DepEd) required storage size of 32GB. With WIKO’s super file compression technology, the T10 has enough storage to store important files, videos, and e-mails. Students don’t have to worry about running out of power in the middle of class as the T10 carries a massive 5000mAh battery with smart power-saving technology. On a full charge, the smartphone supports 30 hours of calls and 20 hours of watching videos or 50 hours of audio. The T10 is fitted with a 6.5-inch Dewdrop Display, larger than the DepEd recommended 6-inch, offering online learners an immersive experience for more focused learning. And with WIKO’s pioneering technology that minimizes the amount of harmful blue light emitted by the screen, it also protects students from eyestrain. Of course, no smartphone is complete without a camera and the T10 comes with a 13MP rear camera for capturing photos that reveal the details. It runs on a MediaTek MT6761 processor and is available in two simple yet sleep colors, Emerald Green and Midnight Black.

Outfitted with a 6.6-inch Edgeless Display, the T50 is an excellent option for online browsing, Zoom calls, video presentations, and reading. For students who need to create visually appealing presentations or submit photography projects, the T50 is equipped with a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and 2MP macro camera.
