The Wiko X70 is a new Android smartphone that can handle some dust and water exposure, and also survive drops from certain heights. The new Huawei handset further supports satellite connections and lets users send messages even without a cellular signal.
The Wiko X70 is a new smartphone that’s now available in China and supports messaging via a BeiDou satellite connection, which means the handset is not dependent on a cellular signal. This might be helpful in emergency situations if help is needed in a remote location. Apart from that, the Wiko X70 also supports 5G as well as dual SIM cards.
OLED and Kunlun glass
The latest Huawei smartphone measures 6.35 x 2.95 x 0.30 inches and comes with a 6.7-inch OLED display, which has 2412 × 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel is protected by Kunlun glass, which is supposed to be particularly robust and seems to be an alternative to the better-known Gorilla Glass. It should protect the phone from drop damage, and the Wiko X70 is also certified according to IP54.
No wireless charging
Meanwhile, the main camera has resolution of 50 megapixels, the front camera offers 32 megapixels. The 6,100mAh battery can be charged at up to 40 watts, but users will have to live without wireless charging. Furthermore, the USB 2.0 port is slow when transferring data via cable.
Different configurations
Unfortunately, Huawei does not name the SoC that powers the Wiko X70. Anyhow, the smartphone is offered in three color variants, namely with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage, 12GB and 256GB and a top version with 12GB and 512GB of storage. There are no details on a potential global launch, which appears to be unlikely. In China, prices for the Huawei Wiko X70 start at the equivalent of roughly $200.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
