The A Series from UMIDIGI is the most popular for the company as it offers entry-level devices with affordable prices and competitive specs. So, today, the company announced a new member of the Series, UMIDIGI A3S that comes with stock Android 10 and a super-low price of just $59.99 at launch! The phone -together with the bit more powerful A3X- will go live on December 9th.

Undoubtedly, the killer feature of the new device is the pure stock Android 10 running on it. Not many devices come with Android 10 right now and even fewer belong to the entry-level segment. So it is a big step for the company as they go ahead of other, more expensive devices, on the software front. Of course, the A3S provides the new Android 10 features such as system-wide dark mode and privacy controls.

But will it be usable? We are pretty sure it will be as it comes with the 12nm MT6761 SoC which is pretty competent. Also, the phone houses a big 3950mAh battery that combined with the rest of the hardware should last more than a day on a single charge. What’s more, there is a dual rear camera comprising of a 16MP main lens and a 5MP depth lens for bokeh effect.

Lastly, there’s also Bluetooth 5.0, global network bands support as well as and dual-4G/VoLTE support.

UMIDIGI A series is the most popular of the company as it is the representative of the company in the sub-$100 entry-level segment of the market. Last year’s UMIDIGI A3 became an instant hit and now the Chinese manufacturer is getting ready to release its successor, the UMIDIGI A3S that will be the most affordable smartphone with stock Android 10 OS.

Only a few entry-level devices feature the latest OS version from Google as most are running on last year’s Android 9 or even worse, Android 8. To that perspective, it’s nice to see that UMIDIGI is bringing all Android 10 features and security to the entry-level segment. Android 10 is smoother and has many new features like system-wide dark mode, live caption, and privacy controls.

Also, looking at the photos of the device we can confirm that the A3S will come with a dual rear camera as well as a fingerprint sensor. The phone will have two color variants, Space Grey and the iPhone-like Midnight Green. On the front, the A3S is equipped with a notchless display. Yes, the top and bottom bezels may be a bit on the large side but many users still prefer this over the notch. Judging from its predecessor, the A3S should be quite compact and should come with dual 2.5D glass with metal frame design, dual 4G VoLTE, global network bands, as well as triple card slots.

As for its debut price, it is rumored that during the open sale it will cost just $59.99! The A3S will hit the market early next month. In the meantime, UMIDIGI is running a big Giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for its new smartwatch, UWatch GT. If you want to participate, just enter the giveaway.

While the dust generated by the premium entry-level UMIDIGI A3 is yet to settle down, the Chinese phone maker has launched a new sibling to the A3. The UMIDIGI A3 Pro joins the fray with a bigger screen size and a couple of other distinguishing features. Apart from a few differences, both the UMIDIGI A3 and A3 Pro look similar.

The UMIDIGI A3 Pro continues with the beautiful design of its sibling but this time around, there is a notch on top of the display. The design includes a full-metal unibody and double-sided 2.5D curved glass design. It packs a bigger 5.7-inch advanced in-cell notch display with a faster and improved dual camera setup 12MP+5MP from Sony/OV sensor that offers better photo and video quality than ever before. At the front, there is an 8MP OV8856 sensor with a f/2.0 aperture.

The phone is powered by a MediaTek M6739 processor paired with 3GB of RAM while there is 32GB of internal storage onboard. Also, the phone comes with triple slots made up of dual 4G VoLTE SIM slots and a third microSD slot. In this way, you won’t need to compromise the SD card slot when using dual SIM. The A3 Pro also comes with global bands. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, a rear-fingerprint sensor, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack and a 3300mAh battery. The device is available in Space Gray and Gold colours.

Still fresh out of the launch of the A3, Chinese smartphone maker UMIDIGI is already gearing up to launch another model. The company is apparently trying to surprise its fans by releasing three quality and affordable smartphones in one series in a short time. The A3 series includes the UMIDIGI A3, A3 Pro and A3 Max. UMIDIGI released an official video to promote the recently launched UMIDIGI A3 and in the video contains the yet to be released UMIDIGI A3 Pro in all its glory.

The UMIDIGI A3 Pro is also marketed by the company as an “entry-level beast” just like the A3. They are quite similar to each other except that the aspect of the display and memory. The UMIDIGI A3 Pro sports a 5.7-inch advanced in-cell technology notch display that is sharp and vivid enough for all purposes while the UMIDIGI A3 packs a 5.5-inch advanced in-cell technology full-screen display in an 18:9 format. The UMIDIGI A3 and A3 Pro are budget phones but UMIDIGI says they have a flagship-looking design. We can’t vouch for the build quality until a review is done but it comes with a double-sided 2.5D curved glass with a full metal unibody frame. The UMIDIGI A3 and A3 Pro have the same dual-camera setup consisting of a 12MP+5MP combo, which was also applied into UMIDIGI One series. There is also an 8MP front camera for high-resolution selfies. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on the model.

As an entry-level device, the UMIDIGI A3 comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB ROM that combined with the Android 8.1 ensure smooth performance. The A3 Pro will obviously have a higher RAM size and storage option.  That’s not all, the UMIDIGI A3 Pro also features the innovative triple-card slots consisting of a dedicated MicroSD expansion slot and dual-4G SIM slots so that there’s no compromise anymore in your storage space. As always with UMIDIGI devices, there is full network support for global use.

UMIDIGI A3 is officially listed on UMIDIGI’s website. If you want to get the phone in the first time, you can directly buy it on AliExpress at $85.99, but the pre-sale of UMIDIGI A3 will kick off on October 20 on AliExpress at UMIDIGI Official Store at a lower price, now you can add to cart to receive notification when starting the pre-sale right here.
