World’s first Tegra 4i powered phone to cost just €200


Wiko’s Wax, reportedly the world’s first ever NVIDIA Tegra 4i powered smartphone just got a €200 price tag for European markets!

The Tegra 4i SoC was initially unveiled at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. It comes with a quad-core CPU with the Cortex A9 cores clocked at 1.7GHz plus a 5th core to save battery, along with a 60-core GPU (the Tegra 4 has a 72-core one). What’s good here is that the chipset features an on-board LTE modem, something we’ve been witnessing often of late.

Complete specifications of the Wiko Wax include a 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, 4GB on-board storage with microSD expansion, an 8 mega-pixel rear camera, 5 mega-pixel front camera, and of course the aforementioned Tegra 4i SoC.

It is quite imminent that the device is aimed at those seeking a pocket (and budget) friendly smartphone. At €200, the device might not be the most efficient, but it does seem like it will offer a good value for your money.

Availability confirmation, at the moment, is restricted to Italy, but neighbours in Germany and France too should be able to avail the device in the near future.

        Tegra 4i as a SoC for averige consumer is alright, but seriously, just 1GB of RAM? I would understand that with KitKat…

    HTC One knock off

      Seriously, isn’t there anything better you could say? Just the fact that the lower part of the smartphone is silver colored doesn’t exactly make it a HTC One knock off.

        So what do you want me to call it?

    When I had a play with it at Nvidia I found it a very smooth quick, exactly what 99% of people need in a phone. Design wise a bit bland and Nexus like all be it with a stiffer smoother luxe plastic feel, but it will be keenly priced. add in the the programmable modem and expect huge standby times. What will be really interesting is how many other phones will appear with the same soc?
