display

While most new smartphones Wiko come with 5-inch displays, the manufacturer has chosen the Wax for a slightly smaller screen: 4.7 "touch display with normal HD, ie 1280 × 720 pixels. That's something better than the Wiko Rainbow, which although providing the same amount of pixels, but these must be spread a little more display area.
