WIKO 5G is now official and it looks like the HUAWEI nova 9 SE!

French mobile maker WIKO earlier introduced its very first 5G-ready smartphone in China.

WIKO 5G

It is like the HUAWEI nova 9 SE, but with 5G!

Two colorways of the phone

The device is simply called WIKO 5G and it reminds us of the nova 9 SE of HUAWEI.

There are just some slight differences in the paint finish and colors used, but the body and most of the specs are identical.

The main difference is it is now using a 5G chip, the Snapdragon 695 chip instead of the Snapdragon 680 4G. This means that this is faster than the nova 9 SE and it now has the modern 5G connectivity that is designed to provide speedier mobile data download and upload speeds than 4G.

The other difference is it is the first in the world with the HarmonyOS Connect. This features smart service widgets and large folders aiming to provide a "brand-new" user experience for WIKO phone users.
