WIKO KENNY DISPLAY & SENSORS
Display IPS 24-bit (True color)
– Multi-Touch
– Width 5 Inch (Diagonal)

In my own opinion, handsets with 5.0 inches are usually the most comfortable to use. So, the Wiko Kenny gets a plus here from me.
However, the resolution is a letdown. At only 480 x 854 pixels, you wont get sharp and clear image quality here.

First, this Wiko handset runs Android 7.0 Nougat.

First is the improvement in battery saving capability. Secondly, Nougat comes with performance improvements compared to Marshmallow. Not only that, but also security and user interface tweaks.
