There’s a new big battery smartphone in town and it’s called the Wiio WI3. The handset recently went on sale in India through ecommerce website Snapdeal and it offers a 4000mAh battery at a price of Rs 6499. This puts it amongst the cheapest options on the market to carry such huge power packs.
A battery so large for the said amount is clearly a great deal, but the Wiio WI3 does have a lot of competition to face. The Spice Stellar 518 was recently reintroduced into the market with a discounted retail tag of Rs 4999. This phone also offers a 4000mAh battery along with other features that are quite similar to the ones found on the handset in question.
The Wiio phone is the third launch from the company in the Indian market. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and it doesn’t look like the OEM has done much to modify the UI. So, it’ll basically deliver a near stock experience. Additionally, the handset is an entry-level option and isn’t the most attractive release we’ve seen in this range.

The 4000mAh battery is estimated to deliver around 9 hours of 3G talk time or up to 800 hours of standby.
