Umi is one of the Chinese manufacturers, which is definitely working hard to stay in the game. They have made some great looking devices with decent specs but as our reviews showed, they had quite a few disadvantages.

The manufacturer has just released the eMax mini – a smaller brother of the eMax and you may want to check out the introduction video below.

The key specs of the Umi eMax include a 5″ 1080P display, which makes the device very compact according to the today’s standards. Also, it uses an octa-core Snapdragon 615 chip and it is coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.

As far as the optics go, Umi eMax has a 13MP/8MP combo on the back and the front, respectively.

All of these specs are powered by a hefty 3050mAh battery and Android 5.1 is running the show.

All in all, the Umi eMax mini seems like a decent offering considering the specs and price of $149.99 ratio. However, we will be able to give you our opinions only after a full review of this device in the future.
