Wiko

Wiko is a smartphone brand founded in 2011 in Marseille, France. According to the company, two friends, James Lin, CEO of the Chinese industrial group Tinno, and the French entrepreneur Laurent Dahan, started it with the goal of making smartphone technology accessible to all.^[1]

Marseille and Tinno

Wiko's creative team has been based in Marseille since the start. In 2018 Wiko and Tinno combined their skills, and Wiko now sells in over 30 countries.^[1] Because the brand is part of a Chinese group, the entry carries the non-European parent flag. France stays as the location because the brand's operations and creative team are in Marseille.

Phones and accessories

The range includes smartphones, accessories and connected devices.^[1] Models, support and availability vary by country, so check the Wiko site for current specifications.
