The post UMIDIGI Fan Festival 2020 set to mark global sales of S5 Pro and A7 Pro on May 26 appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

In addition, there is a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor that is missing from most entry-level phones at this price range. The device comes with double-sided 2.5D glass and a metal frame and also supports triple card slots; you can use 2 SIM cards and a microSD at the same time. Lastly, there’s also Bluetooth 5.0, global network bands support as well as and dual-4G/VoLTE support.

The UMIDIGI A3S will go on global sales at a discounted price of $59.99 on 9th December together with the A3X that will feature a higher screen/body ratio and more RAM for $69.99.

The post UMIDIGI A3S, the cheapest smartphone with stock Android 10 coming on December 9th appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

The post Four Top UMIDIGI Deals you should grab during the Aliexpress 11.11 Global Shopping Festival appeared first on Gizmochina.

We already know that the next model from UMIDIGI will be Power 3 featuring a big battery and a quad-camera setup, and today the company revealed the price and the global sale start date. So, Power 3 will go on global sale on November 11th and its promotional price will be only $149.99 for just 1 day, until November 12th! The Power 3 is a big upgrade to its predecessor and the debut during the Aliexpress 11.11 Global Shopping Festival is a buyer’s delight.

Besides the big battery, the key feature of the device is the multi-function quad camera. The recently launched Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 also sports a similar camera setup but which is better overall? Let’s check out the specs and price comparison.

Display

1 of 2

Doing away with the notch is the challenge for most smartphone manufacturers and rumors say that next year’s flagships Redmi K30 and OnePlus 8 would feature the hole-punch display. UMIDIGI Power 3 has that already placed on the top-left of the 6.53″ FHD+ display, while the Redmi Note 8 comes with a 6.3″ panel with a waterdrop notch.

Camera

The main camera is the sector where there are not that many differences. The Power 3 has a better 13MP ultra-wide camera while the Redmi Note 8’s one is 8MP. As for the front camera, the Power 3 boasts a 16MP sensor while the Note 8 has a 13MP one.

Battery and Charging

Here’s where the Power 3 really stands out as it hosts a big, 6150mAh battery with 18W fast charging support while the Note 8 comes with a smaller, 4000mAh battery and just 10W fast charging. What’s more, the new UMIDIGI phone supports 10W fast OTG reverse charging while its opponent supports just 2.5W OTG reverse charging.

Performance

The two companies use different SoC providers but their performance is similar. Power 3 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 and the Redmi Note 8 comes with Snapdragon 665. Both score about 140k in Antutu v7. Also, the Power 3 features NFC with Google Pay and Note 8 doesn’t.

Operating System

Until now, there are only a few devices that come with or have been upgraded to Android 10, the latest version of Google’s OS. Power 3 is one of them as it comes with Android 10 out-of-the-box. It comes with the stock version of Android while the Redmi Note 8 features MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0.

Price

As said before, the UMIDIGI Power 3 will hit the market at just $149.99 and the price will go up to $169.99. Still, that’s almost $20 less than the Note 8 that costs about $190 for the same 4GB/64GB memory configuration. It’s easy to say that the Power 3 is a better VFM that its competitor. You can add it to your cart now so that you don’t miss the deal when it hits the market. Also, you can participate in the Giveaway activity to win one for free.

The post UMIDIGI Power 3 starts its global sale, aims at Redmi Note 8 appeared first on Gizmochina.

On Monday, we talked about the UMIDIGI Power 3 that would be launching soon and today, the company announced the global launch of the new Power Series member. With the Power 3, UMIDIGI is offering a 6,150mAh battery, which is the biggest yet for the company. In addition, the Power 3 also features a quad-camera setup with a 48MP main sensor, a hole-punch display on the front, and Helio P60 SoC. The phone will start global sale on November 11th on Aliexpress.

Biggest Battery Yet

The Power Series is known for the big battery found inside the phones and Power 3 is no different. It packs the biggest battery to date with a 6150mAh battery and USB Type-C 18W fast charger.

What’s more, it features 10W fast OTG reverse charging that can charge other devices while other phones only support about 2.5W OTG reverse charging. You don’t even have to buy an OTG cable as is comes as a gift.

Multi-function Quad Cameras

Another new feature in Power 3 is the quad rear camera setup that consists of a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 5MP depth-sensing camera. In addition, there is a new Night Mode to help you capture better photos in low light conditions while the ultra-wide mode snaps more in a single shot and the macro mode captures close-ups.

Bigger Notchless Display

Since the notch is starting to become outdated, the Chinese manufacturer adopts a 6.53″ FHD+ display with a hole-punch that hosts the front 16MP camera. The hole is just 4.5mm wide in order not to distract the user while using the phone. The result is an immersive viewing experience when combined with the thin bezels.

Powerful Performance

To power the Power 3, UMIDIGI chose to go with the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC backed by 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The LPDDR4X dual-channel memory has 50% higher efficiency and 100% improved peak performance compared with the older LPDDR3. Also, thanks to the triple card slots design, the phone has a dedicated microSD card slot to store up to 256GB more.

Stock Android 10 and Other Features

Coming with Android 10, UMIDIGI Power 3 is one of the first smartphones that feature Google’s latest OS. The phone comes in three trendy colors for you to choose: Space Grey, Midnight Green, and Red. Additionally, Power 3 supports “OK Google” on lock screen so that you can activate the Google Assistant without even touching your phone. Lastly, it supports multi-function NFC and global network bands as well as dual-4G/LTE.

Price, Global Sale Date, and Giveaway

The global sale will start at 00:00 PST on November 11th over at Aliexpress. The price is yet to be known but the price tag is expected to be under $200 since the previous version’s cost was around $150. You can add the Power 3 to your cart now in case you miss the discounted open sale price when it becomes available in 2 weeks.

Lastly, in order to improve the user experience, UMIDIGI is running a Giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for the device. Check out all the details about the Power 3 and join the giveaway on their official website.

1 of 2

The killer feature of UMIDIGI F2 is the quad-camera setup that consists of a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP wide-angle sensor, a 5mp mono lens, and a 5MP portrait lens. At the front, the smartphone comes with a 32MP selfie camera.

The post UMIDIGI F2 Global Sale kicks off during UMIDIGI 8 Years promo that brings great discounts (video) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Today, UMIDIGI officially announced the price of its latest budget flagship smartphone the UMIDIGI F2 and it is a truly unbelievable price: just $179.99 on a limited deal from October 14th to October 16th! The device is the successor to the successful UMIDIGI F1 and it will hit the market on October 14th, 7 AM GMT on Aliexpress. The company also released a first look video of the device.

The killer feature is the quad-camera setup of course. Since the Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, released the Note 8 Pro recently, it’s easy to tell that the F2 is the perfect competitor. Considering the overall quality and performance, which one has a higher value for money?

Display

Design is subjective and since both come with a 6.53″ FHD+ IPS panel, the F2 has an advantage since it drops the annoying notch and adopts a hole-punch front camera.

Camera

Until we see real-life reviews of the camera we can’t be totally sure about which is better. On paper, the UMIDIGI F2 is better since it comes with a 32MP flagship-category selfie shooter while the Note 8 Pro hosts a 20MP sensor. One the back, both have a multi-function quad camera setup. The Note 8 Pro sports a higher resolution main camera but the F2 has a better ultra-wide camera.

Performance & Battery

The Note 8 Pro comes with the more powerful Helio G90T SoC but the Helio P70 on the F2 is no slouch either. Also, both come with the same 6GB/128GB memory configuration but the F2 costs more than $100 less than its rival. Definitely, the CPU power difference doesn’t justify the huge price difference.

In terms of battery, the UMIDIGI F2 has a bigger battery (5150mAh) than Redmi Note 8 Pro (4500mAh) while both support 18W fast charging as well as NFC with Google Pay.

Design

Both phones come with a beautiful glass back cover but the F2 has a cleaner and more consistent design thanks to the side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The Note 8 Pro still comes with the old-fashioned back-placed fingerprint sensor.

Operating System

Only a handful of devices have adopted Android 10 which is Google’s latest OS. UMIDIGI F2 is one of them and comes with stock Android 10 while the Redmi Note 8 Pro features MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0.

Price

The promotional price of the UMIDIGI F2 at $179.99 is amazing during the global sale that starts on Monday. After the promotion, it will go up to its original price of just $199.99. On the other hand, the Note 8 Pro 6GB/128GB version costs $299.99, making the UMIDIGI F2 a better VFM device. UMIDIGI is also running a 10-unit giveaway which you can join here. Also, don’t forget to add the F2 to your cart so that you won’t miss the offer and you will receive a free pair of UPods as well.

Besides the flagship devices of the company that recently gained another member -UMIDIGI F2- with excellent specs and price tag, the Chinese manufacturer is also very famous about its entry-level Power series that comes with a massive battery and pretty affordable price. Currently, there is only one member in the Series but according to leaked information, the company is getting ready to add another.

Strangely, the new model isn’t going to be named Power 2 but they will skip a number going straight to UMIDIGI Power 3. As you can see in the photo, the 6000 mentioned should be the capacity of the battery and it’s going to sport a quad-camera setup on the back. The rest of the specs are still undisclosed so we’ll have to wait until UMIDIGI officially announces the device or another leak surfaces. Until that happens, you can visit their official website to check out their latest flagship UMIDIGI F2 and their new smartwatch and wireless headset.

The post UMIDIGI Power 3 could be close to release according to a leaked photo appeared first on Gizmochina.

It took a lot of time for smartphone manufacturers to realize that colorful devices appeal to consumers. Even Apple that is considered to be the most design-driven company out there, insisted on Black and Silver colors for a long time until this year that a wide color palette was added to iPhones. But even now, monochromatic pastel colors are used in most cases. The new UMIDIGI F2 thinks otherwise and features the company’s all-new “Holographic Design” which is industry-leading craftsmanship that is not easy to find in the budget segment.

The 3D shimmering effect is achieved by using a depth layer containing millions of shimmering, microscopic prisms with curved textures, and on top of that, a 2.5D curved glass layer. Combined together, make the light virtually dance across the back of the phone as you move it around. Two colors are chosen: Phantom Blue and Midnight Black. The adjectives “Phantom” and “Midnight” are ideal to describe the gradient effect that evokes the appearance of a dynamic pattern or a twinkling night sky.

The clever design isn’t just restricted to color. UMIDIGI’s design innovations are hardly restricted to color. As you can see in the photo above, instead of using a notch or a pop-up camera the company went with the third solution by cutting a 4.5mm punch-hole into the top-left of the display to house the 32MP selfie camera. That, along with the side-placed fingerprint sensor results in a comfortable skinny phone with a nearly bezeless 6.53’” FHD+ display.

One the back, the quad-camera that hosts the 48MP main sensor along with the ultra-wide and macro cameras is laid out in an L-shape instead of the traditional I-shape—leaving more room inside for a 5150mAh big battery with NFC. What’s more, the phone comes with high-end specs like the Helio P70 SoC backed by 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 fast storage as well as Android 10.

The phone will go on global sale next Monday on Aliexpress with its price being undisclosed for now. We expect it to be below $250, though. Also, judging from the fact that the Chinese manufacturer is celebrating its 8th Annual Sale, the promotional price should be a surprise. So you’d better add the F2 to your cart now at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress in case you miss the deal.

Lastly, as always, the company is running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users that will help improve the user experience. You can check out the full specs of F2 and join the giveaway on their official website.

The post UMIDIGI F2 will amaze your friends with its colors and Holographic back cover appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year has been amazing for the smartphone industry as many manufacturers released devices with incredible camera setups as well as truly bezeless displays. UMIDIGI was among these manufacturers and recently announced the UMIDIGI F2 flagship with quad-camera setup and a hole-punch display that hosts the selfie shooter.

The device officially announced on September 23rd is the first hole-punch display phone of UMIDIGI. It measures at 6.53″ and comes with a FHD+ resolution, with the hole-punch being placed on the top-left corner hosting the 32MP front camera. This sensor is the same found in Huawei’s new premium flagship Huawei Mate 30 Pro. This technique reduces bezels even further by utilizing accurate laser cutting technology to create the cut-out. What’s more, the hole doesn’t affect the cinematic experience while watching movies or playing games and puts more in view when you’re browsing the internet or checking social media, thanks to the accurate pixel allocation surrounding the cut-out. Also, the 32MP sensor supports pixel-binning to provide brighter, clearer selfies. Paired with AI beautify, it can enhance your facial features for stunningly gorgeous results.

Other specifications include a rear camera with a 48MP main sensor, an ultra-wide camera, a macro camera, and a depth camera. There is also a 5150mAh battery, 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage that complement the Helio P70 SoC while you’ll also get NFC and the latest stock Android 10.

Pro-Grade Cameras

A huge improvement over the previous-gen flagship is the cameras. The F2 sports a quad rear camera setup consisting of a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 5MP depth camera. Also, a new night mode is available to capture better images in low light conditions while the ultra-wide mode helps you snap more content in a photo. Lastly, the macro mode is used when shooting something at a very close distance.

As for the selfie shooter, it sports a 32MP sensor -Samsung GD1- the same found in the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. It utilizes pixel binning for brighter and clearer selfies and users can also use AI beautify to enhance their facial features.

Big display without a notch

The next step for the industry is moving from a notch display to a notchless and bezel-less design. The UMIDIGI F2 accomplishes that task by using a hole punch display. The 6.53″ FH+ display comes with a hole in the top left corner that hosts the 32MP front camera. The hole is just 4.5mm wide and it doesn’t distract the user at all.

The best performing UMIDIGI device to date

UMIDIGI makes some very interesting devices and this one is the most powerful they’ve ever made as it sports the Helio P70 SoC backed by 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of fast UFS 2.1 internal storage. The faster UFS 2.1 flash storage was, until recently, only available in the premium flagship smartphones and now UMIDIGI brings it to the budget segment. In addition, the F2 comes with a big, 5150mAh battery with 18W fast charge support.

Eye-catching Design

Nowadays, most phones look almost the same as there are little things you can do to differentiate your products from the competition. UMIDIGI manages to do that with the impressive Phantom Blue and Midnight Black colors and a curved texture on the back cover when the light hits on it. Also, they’ve side-mounted the fingerprint sensor so the back cover looks clean and more consistent. Also, it sports a triple card slot so that you can use 2 SIM cards and Micro-SD card (up to 256GB) at the same time.

Stock Android 10 and more features

Only a handful of devices can brag that they come with the latest Android 10 OS and UMIDIGI F2 is one of them. In addition, it is the first Android 10 smartphone that features a 48MP quad rear camera. Additionally, the F2 is the first UMIDIGI that supports “OK Google” even when the screen is locked so you can activate the Google Assistant anytime. Of course, it supports multi-functional NFC and global network bands as well as dual-4G/LTE.

Pricing, Global Sale date, and Giveaway

The UMIDIGI F2 global sale will start on October 14th on Aliexpress. The company hasn’t revealed the price yet but we expect it to be less than $300 since the F1 sells for around $200. Of course, a launch promotion will be available bringing the price even lower during the presale period. You can add the F2 to cart now at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress in case you miss the discounted open sale price on October 14th.

Lastly, in order to improve the user experience, UMIDIGI is -as always- running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for the UMIDIGI F2. You can check out the full specs of F2 and join the giveaway on their official website.

Today, UMIDIGI announced that its next flagship, the successor of F1, the UMIDIGI F2, will be officially revealed globally on September 23rd. As we’ve seen in previous news, the device will be the first Android 10 phone of the Chinese manufacturer and will come with a hole-punch display as well as a 48MP AI quad-camera. Now, new leaked render confirms these specs and reveals more information.

For starters, the render shows that it will come in 2 colors: Gradient Blue and Black. Also, following the industry trends, the back cover will have a curved texture when the light hits on it. As you can see, the photo indicates that the selfie shooter will host a 32MP sensor which is assumed to be the same flagship sensor found in Huawei P30 Pro and Honor 20 Pro, Samsung GD1. What’s also revealed is that the F2 will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, leaving the back cover clean and more consistent-looking.

In addition, it is confirmed that the main camera will be a vertically-aligned quad setup with a 48MP main sensor plus ultra-wide, macro, and depth cameras. It seems unbelievable that such a camera setup shows up in budget flagship already but you better believe it.

The rest of the specs are yet to be known but we expect information on UMIDIGI’s Aliexpress store to be proven true. So, there will be a big, 5150mAh battery, three slots to host 2 SIM cards and a microSD card at the same time, as well as 6GB/128GB memory configuration. We’re waiting for the official announcement next week to find out the full details.

Yesterday, Apple announced its new iPhone lineup that now features a triple camera setup for the Pro models. During the announcement, Apple officials focused mainly on the new and interesting features that come with the triple camera setup of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. But it seems that Chinese manufacturers like UMIDIGI prefer to take it to the next level by adopting quad-camera setups. The upcoming flagship, UMIDIGI F2, will feature such a camera setup with a dedicated macro lens according to the latest leak.

The information that surfaced refers to a fourth camera in addition to the traditional triple setup. The additional camera on the F2 has a 5MP macro lens and sits just below the LED flash and is able to take close-up shots from just 2 centimeters away. This is very useful especially for nature fans that can use it to shoot detailed photos of small insects or the pollen inside a flower for example. But tech fans can also use it to take close up photos of small ports and buttons on devices.

As the image leaked reveals, the main camera hosts a 48MP sensor of 1/2″ in size, f/1.79 aperture, and 1.6μm (4in1) pixel size. The top 5MP camera acts as a depth camera for better bokeh effect on portraits while the bottom unit is a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 120 degrees FoV.

Previous information had revealed that the new flagship will ship with Android 10 out-of-the-box and a punch-hole selfie shooter of probably 32MP. It’s also safe to say that it will come with a big battery, a powerful SoC, and plenty of RAM for smooth multitasking. Currently, there are no launch date or price available and it’s rumored that the F2 will be launched at the end of September.

In the meantime, UMIDIGI’s new smart device UMIDIGI Uwake, the world’s first colorful Bluetooth 5.0 speaker with smart alarm clock, just kicked off its sale on Aliexpress at the limited offer of $19.99. You can learn more about it and place your order here.

UMIDIGI X launch last month being the first in-screen fingerprint smartphone of the company and during the presale, it came at an amazing price of $179.99. This price is available once again until September 15th on Aliexpress for those who didn’t catch the deal on time. In the meantime, the company shared the teardown video of the device so that users can check out the build quality.

After the removal of the SIM tray and the back panel, the disassembly is pretty straightforward and all you need is a screwdriver to go all the way. This also means that it is easy to repair. Of course, the video shared focuses on the in-screen fingerprint sensor and triple rear camera which are the highlights of the device.

1 of 4

According to the manufacturer, the device is equipped with the latest generation optical in-screen fingerprint sensor, which looks like a camera and it can capture a photo of your thumbprint to unlock the screen. It comes from Goodix, the provider of in-screen fingerprint modules for tech giants like Huawei and Xiaomi. In addition, the company points out the NFC chip found inside, a feature missing from most budget devices. Lastly, the 48MP AI triple rear camera setup (48MP/8MP ultra wide/5MP depth camera), 4150mAh big battery with 18W fast charging, and large storage (128GB) are some other specs worth pointing out.

UMIDIGI X will be available for $179.99 again at UMIDIGI Global Online Store on Aliexpress from September 9th to September 15th while the global recruiting of 10 trial users to test UMIDIGI Uwake is still ongoing. You can learn more details and join the giveaway on their official website.

Although UMIDIGI has been consistent when it comes to software updates in already released devices but in order to get an Android 10 phone from the Chinese manufacturer soon, you’ll have to wait until the release of its next flagship, UMIDIGI F2. According to three posters leaked earlier, the successor of the very successful F1 will be the 1st device of the company to come with Android 10 preinstalled.

Besides the Android version, one of the most notable elements is the notch-less design. There is no pop-up camera as the UMIDIGI F2 will be coming with a punch hole at the top left corner of the display, covering a small area like Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Note 10 and the Honor 20 Pro. Also, the chin at the bottom is very thin and the rest of the specs, virtually non-existent. Judging from the frame color, it is safe to assume that it will come with a gradient blue back-cover to pair the blue frame.

Some more information is revealed from the watermark citing “SHOT ON UMIDIGI F2 48MP AI QUAD CAMERA” at the bottom left corner of the screen, which means the F2 will have a quad-camera setup with a 48 MP primary sensor. The photo showing a close-up shot of a butterfly implies that there will be a macro lens in the setup. The 2nd poster mentions “bright and clear selfies” and it should come as no surprise if the selfie shooter will be the 32MP Samsung GD1 sensor which can intelligently combine four pixels into one larger pixel for brighter and clearer selfies.

Currently, there are no launch date and price available. Some information talks about a late-September launch. In the meantime, UMIDIGI is globally recruiting 10 trial users to test its new smart device UMIDIGI Uwake to help improve the user experience. You can learn all the latest news for UMIDIGI’s devices on their Facebook page and join the giveaway on their official website.

Apple’s AirPods have been among the top wireless earbuds since their release in 2016 however, even the cheapest model starts at $159 and plenty of people don’t want to pay that much money, since they can easily get lost! Fortunately, China and its awesome manufacturers are here to offer similar products at very affordable prices, like UMIDIGI with the UMIDIGI Upods which will open sale at the incredible $9.9 price for the first 10,000 units on August 26th, 7 AM GMT.

With just $9.9 you get a wireless headset with the latest Bluetooth 5.0 that offers faster pairing experience and more stable connection. Then the 7.2mm dynamic driver brings high audio quality while each piece of Upods weighs just 4g and they are comfortable to wear. And thanks to the earplug design and DSP, they do a better job at blocking noise than AirPods.

1 of 4

On the battery side, the Upods offer 4 hours on a single charge for each earbud and if you use their charging case, the number goes up, up to 24 hours! Almost the same battery performance as Apple claims for the AirPods at a fraction of their price. The 24-hour mark is double of what the Xiaomi Airdots offer, another budget-friendly TWS headset. The Upods is compatible with both Android and iOS as well as all major AI assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, and Samsung’s Bixby.

The Upods together with UMIDIGI’s new in-screen fingerprint value king UMIDIGI X will start their global sale on August 26th 7 AM GMT exclusively at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress. As said before, the first 10,000 units will come at just $9.9 and you can add yours to your cart right now to grab the deal when the time comes.

UMIDIGI is getting ready for its next flagship, UMIDIGI Z5 Pro, and has just teased a 64MP sample image shot by the device. As the company claims, the Z5 Pro will be among the first few models in the world to launch with the new 64MP Samsung sensor. This new sensor is almost certainly the Samsung ISOCELL GW1 which was announced by Samsung recently. This teaser means that Xiaomi and Realme won’t alone in offering this feature soon.

The company’s sample image shows a cat and a zoomed-in section of the cat’s fur. As indicated the 64MP sensor is from Samsung and should be the same Samsung ISOCELL GW1 as Xiaomi’s and Realme’s devices. There’s little more to say about the photo other than it certainly seems to pack plenty of detail. The GW1 sensor measures 1/1.7″ in size with 1.6um pixel size and is 38% larger than the current 48MP sensor. It uses ISOCELL Plus technology that increases light intake and catches colors more accurately resulting in bright, sharp, and vibrant images across different lighting environments.

1 of 3

The Z5 Pro will feature the 64MP sensor and while the company hasn’t yet announced this year’s Z Series, the Z5 Pro is definitely one of the devices coming soon. We hope that there will be a non-pro version that will at least feature a 48MP sensor on the back so that users will have to choose between 2 great devices according to their budget.

In the meantime, you don’t have to wait until the Z5 Pro comes out to get a great device at a great price. You can enter the giveaway to win the recently launched value king UMIDIGI X and Upods. If you are interested in buying both at a rock bottom price, you can add the UMIDIGI X and Upods to your cart on Aliexpress to grab the discounted price when the presale kicks off on August 26th.

The new trend in the smartphone industry is the placement of the fingerprint sensor under the display, allowing for a cleaner design smaller overall dimensions. UMIDIGI X is the first phone from the company that comes with such a sensor and the most affordable to date, as it costs around $200. It uses the best optical sensor from Goodix, the same that brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and OnePlus use. There is another implementation though, that uses ultrasonic waves to scan the fingertip and this is what Samsung uses in its latest flagship, Galaxy Note 10. According to tests, the optical sensor is better than the ultrasonic one. Let’s check out the video below.

Except for Samsung’s flagships Galaxy S10 and Note 10, all new phones of the companies mentioned use the optical fingerprint sensor built by the same company Goodix. In theory, an ultrasonic scanner is more secure, because it uses soundwaves to map a 3D print of the user’s unique epidermis, whereas optical scanners rely on light information to capture a 2D photo of the fingerprint. There has been no evidence supporting that an ultrasonic solution is more secure than an optical solution and on top of that, real-world tests from many reviewers confirm that an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor is faster than the ultrasonic one.

Compared to the previous-gen, the latest optical in-screen fingerprint sensor offered by Goodix has a 100% larger optical sensing area, an upgraded recognition algorithm, 35% faster screen unlock, and 30% better performance in extreme situations according to UMIDIGI. We will be able to check the performance in real-life soon and decide if the $200 budget phone offers better in-screen fingerprint unlock experience than Samsung’s $1000 flagship.

Open global sale of the UMIDIGI X together with new truly wireless earbuds Upods will kick off on August 26 on Aliexpress. The sale price has not been released yet but we expect it would be about $200. The first 1000 units will also come with Upods for free, so you’d better add the phone to your cart now in case you miss the deal. You can add the Upods as well. Lastly, UMIDIGI is running a big giveaway to recruit 20 trial users for UMIDIGI X and Upods, and the winners will get both. You can check out all the details about the two new devices and join the giveaway on their official website.

Since the Apple Airpods were released, truly wireless headphones instantly became the new trend in the market as more and more phones ditch the headphone jack. Even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 that will be launching today, is said to lose the analog port. The solution is a wireless headset of course and the Chinese manufacturer UMIDIGI has you covered as the Upods that were announced on Monday along with the UMIDIGI X not only offer great performance but a great price too, as the first 10000 units will be available at just $9.9 starting on August 26 exclusively at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress.

The killer feature for these truly wireless headphones is the 24 hours battery life that is offered through the charging box and that is double of what the Xiaomi Airdots offer. If you accidentally forget to take the charging box with you, the headset still performs well as it can go on for 4 hours on a single charge. Upods sport Bluetooth 5.0 and 7.2mm dynamic driver that deliver a stable connection and decent sound. Each piece weighs just 4g and the pair supports all major AI assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, and Samsung’s Bixby.

After many teasers and leaks, the wait is finally over for the UMIDIGI X as today, the company officially launched the in-screen fingerprint sensor value king featuring a 48MP AI triple camera. Together with the new mid-range flagship, the Chinese manufacturer also announced the UMIDIGI Upods, the company’s truly wireless earbuds. Both will go on global sale exclusively at the UMIDIGI Official Store on Aliexpress on August 26th (7 am GMT). Despite the official announcement, the price of the phone will be revealed later with the company claiming that it will be the most affordable phone with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. So, we expect the price would be much lower than recently released Xiaomi Mi A3. Let’s check out some key specs of the new model.

Latest gen in-screen fingerprint sensor and AMOLED for everyone

In-screen fingerprint sensor for the masses! This feature is not a privilege of expensive flagships anymore.  UMIDIGI brings this high-end feature to the budget segment as the X features the latest optical in-display fingerprint sensor by Goodix, the same company that supplies tech giants like Huawei and Xiaomi. Also, it’s impressive that UMIDIGI equips the phone with a 6.35″ AMOLED display panel that is usually reserved for flagships.

48MP AI triple camera with ultra-wide-angle lens

The 48MP sensors are the new… black in the smartphone industry and UMIDIGI couldn’t offer anything less than a 48MP AI triple rear camera setup (48MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth). The 48MP main camera has a half-inch sensor with f/1.79 large aperture and 1.6μm (4in1) super-pixel that should perform well both in low-light and daylight conditions. The 8MP camera with the ultra-wide-angle lens on the other hand, is capable of capturing a wide view. Lastly, the 5MP depth sensor is required for accurate bokeh shots. All this hardware combined with AI algorithms allow for features like super night mode and AI scenes detection on the phone. The selfie shooter is 16MP and also uses AI to improve selfies.

Other goodies on UMIDIGI X

Besides the killer features of the fingerprint unlock and 48MP triple camera, the X comes with Helio P60 SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The battery is big, at 4150mAh and supports 18W fast charging. Despite the big battery and multi-function NFC, the phone manages to remain at only 8.1mm thickness. UMIDIGI X runs on pure stock Android 9 Pie and a planned update to Android Q is coming according to the company. Of course, just like other UMIDIGI phones, the phone supports dual-4G VoLTE as well as global LTE bands.

Truly wireless earbuds UMIDIGI Upods

Alongside UMIDIGI X, the Chinese manufacturer also unveiled its new truly wireless earbuds Upods. The Upods headset is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and 7.2mm dynamic driver, delivering a stable connection and superior sound. Also, in the likes of Apple’s Airpods, it comes with a 600mAh charging box that helps the Upods to function 24 hours continuously. Each earbud weighs just 4g and their ergonomic design makes them comfortable to wear. They also support Google Assistant and Siri activation.

Price, global sale date and Giveaway

The UMIDIGI X global sale will kick off on August 26th. The price is yet to be known but a low price tag is expected since the company claims it’s the most affordable phone with an in-screen fingerprint sensor. In addition, the UMIDIGI Official Store is holding a guess-price contest where you can guess the price and win prizes. The first 1000 units will receive the Upods for free so you better add the phone to your cart right now to not miss the deal. Also, the first 10000 units of Upods will be available at just $9.9.

The post UMIDIGI X launched along with Upods wireless earbuds and Huge Giveaway! (video) appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year, thanks to Sony and Samsung, camera tech in smartphones made a big improvement step as both companies released their 48MP sensors. If the evolution continues, it is safe to say that with the help of software too, smartphone cameras will be competitive to DSLR cameras in the next decade. The same 48MP sensor (we don’t know if the sensor comes from Sony or Samsung yet) appears in the latest teaser video of the upcoming UMIDIGI X. It will feature a triple camera on the back with one ultra-wide lens and AI support. The official release will take place on August 5th where we’ll learn all the details.

In the video, UMIDIGI claims that you don’t have to carry any heavy equipment like a DSLR camera or a bulky lens as the UMIDIGI X with its triple camera setup and AI support has got you covered. The 48MP main camera will help you catch more details, the AI function will optimize your photos without the need of editing on a computer, while the ultra-wide-angle lens will help you see more in a single shot. The video also confirms the clean back cover design for UMIDIGI X.

Besides the 48MP ultra-wide AI triple camera, in previous leaks, the UMIDIGI X has already been confirmed to house the latest optical in-display fingerprint sensor and come with a 6.35″ AMOLED display with a small waterdrop notch, as well as a slim body despite the big, 4150mAh battery and NFC it comes with.

The X will be revealed together with the company’s new truly wireless earphones -Upods- next Monday, before Samsung launches its expensive flagship, Galaxy Note 10. More details are going to surface before the launch but if you want to be among the first to get the UMIDIGI X, you can try your luck in the Giveaway Event currently running.

With rumors saying that Apple is also working on an in-screen fingerprint solution for a future iPhone, that suggests that similar solutions are the future of security on smartphones. Unlike the ultra-expensive iPhone, more affordable phones are already available with in-screen fingerprint sensors and the Chinese manufacturer UMIDIGI is bringing its own in-screen fingerprint phone to the market with its new value king UMIDIGI X. The X will be launched next Monday, August 5th, along with the company’s truly wireless earbuds, Upods.

Now UMIDIGI is sharing a video to show the evolution of lock and key and indicates the in-screen fingerprint unlock is the future for smartphones. In the video, the company indicates it will make in-screen fingerprint unlock affordable for everyone with UMIDIGI X.

In case you’re a bit behind on previous leaks, the UMIDIGI X has already been confirmed to pack the latest optical in-display fingerprint sensor, and leaked renders also unveil the smartphone will sport an AI triple camera setup that will include a 48MP sensor and an ultra-wide-angle lens. Also, it comes with a 6.35″ AMOLED display with a tiny waterdrop notch and it is rather slim despite the big, 4150mAh battery and NFC it comes with.

On August 5th, together with the UMIDIGI X, the company will reveal its new truly wireless earphones Upods. We expect more specs and prices to be revealed in the coming days. If you want to be among the first to get the UMIDIGI X, the company is giving you a chance to win its future smartphone here.

Carrying on with the plan of transforming to more than a smartphone company, the Chinese manufacturer UMIDIGI is developing and releasing smart devices too. Soon after the release of their 2nd gen smartwatch Uwatch2, the company is going to launch a true wireless earbud set (TWS) called Upods on August 5th together with their first in-screen fingerprint phone UMIDIGI X. Today, the company released new renders that show the design of the upcoming product.

Adopting the tech that Apple introduced with the Airpods and like many other true wireless earbuds, the Upods are a pair of tiny in-ear plugs that connect to your phone via Bluetooth and come with a charging case that makes sure they stay charged all the time. The headset has a professional, clean and all-around sleek design, looking decidedly earpiece-like. Also, the case remains small in size with round edges and corners, making it pocket-friendly.

UMIDIGI claims that Upods is the world’s smallest 24h-lasting wireless earbuds and its price will be around $30. The rest of the specs remain unknown for the time being but they are to be confirmed soon, on August 5th that the release event will take place together with the UMIDIGI X presentation. If you want to be among the first to get the UMIDIGI X, the company is giving you a chance to win its future smartphone here.

Following the hot-selling A5 Pro, last week information surfaced talking about the next big thing from the Chinese manufacturer, UMIDIGI X. The device was supposed to be “coming soon” and indeed, the new budget king UMIDIGI X will be unveiled on August 5th. According to previous leaks as well as the new leaked render, the UMIDIGI X will indeed sport an in-screen fingerprint reader as well as a triple rear camera with 48MP main sensor. Also, the event poster suggests that on August 5th, the company will also launch its new true wireless earphones, Upods.

As you can see in the photo, the UMIDIGI X features a clean back cover with cool flame hue and that’s a result of the fingerprint reader being moved under the display. As for the main camera, it is an AI triple camera setup that includes a 48MP ultra clarity sensor and an ultrawide-angle lens. On the front, the phone sports a small waterdrop notch that contributes to the high screen/body ratio. Also, information talk about a slim body despite the 4150mAh battery inside it that supports 18W fast charging and the NFC chip.

As for the new headset that will be presented together with the X, all we know right now is that it will be called Upods. The design is similar to Sony’s latest true wireless noise cancelling earbuds Sony WF-1000XM3. Judging from the fact that UMIDIGI X is expected to be the most affordable smartphone with in-screen fingerprint reader and 48MP AI triple camera, the true wireless earphones Upods should also come with a great price tag.

Both UMIDIGI X and true wireless earphones Upods will go official on August 5th and we expect more specs and price to be revealed in the coming days. Lastly, if you want to be among the first to get the UMIDIGI X, the company is giving you a chance to win its future smartphone here.

Following the hot-selling A5 Pro, UMIDIGI is developing the next budget king that will disrupt the market with its price and specs. According to leaked specs, the upcoming device is going to sport an in-display fingerprint sensor as well as a triple rear camera with 48MP main sensor! A leaked photo of the protective sticker implies that the device is already in production and reveals all the key specs.

The specs revealed talk about a 6.35″ AMOLED display with an embedded fingerprint sensor. If this turns out to be accurate, the UMIDIGI X will be the first device of the company to come with these two high-end flagship features (48MP camera and AMOLED display). The sticker doesn’t reveal the shape of the display so we can’t tell if it will come with a notch or if the Chinese manufacturer will use a pop-up camera.

Talking about the camera, the X will come with a configuration similar to the A5 Pro. There will be a 48MP AI triple camera setup that will include an ultra-wide-angle lens. It is the first time that UMIDIGI stresses the AI capabilities of a phone’s camera and we can assume that it will come with the same camera features that S3 Pro gained after the latest software update (Super Night mode and AI scenes detection). This attention to software is very promising for the company’s users.

In addition, the sticker also mentions the 4150mAh battery capacity that supports 18W fast charging as well as the multi-function NFC that supports Google Pay. Despite the large battery capacity, the UMIDIGI X will allegedly have a thin, 7.9mm profile. The device will most certainly come with a budget price but we won’t know for sure until it’s officially released. If you want to be among the first to get the upcoming device, UMIDIGI is giving you a chance to win its future smartphone here.

Having already received several software updates, it now comes with some high-end flagship phone camera features like super night mode and AI scene detection. The upcoming discount will make it very competitive in the sub-$250 category. In addition, other UMIDIGI phones like the F1 Play and A3 Pro will also receive big discounts on Amazon stores.

According to a recent leak, the Chinese manufacturer UMIDIGI is soon going to launch a new model following the big success of the A5 Pro. The leaked poster says that it is will be named UMIDIGI X but that might be a temporary name. According to the same poster, the phone is going to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a feature that is mostly found in expensive flagship devices. But according to UMIDIGI’s strategy until now, this one should be part of the budget market segment.

Currently, in-display fingerprint readers can only be applied to OLED displays so the UMIDIGI X will certainly come with one. That’s great since OLED panels have more accurate colors with true black, better contrast, and sometimes better brightness than common LCD panels. Also, they are more power efficient most of the times since LCD panels have always-on LEDs to function while OLED panels only light the portion of the display that’s needed. Apart from the fingerprint reader, the poster shows that there is no notch on the top. Does this mean that it could come with a fullview display and a pop-up selfie camera like Xiaomi Mi 9T or OnePlus 7 Pro? We’ll investigate and post any new information that comes up.

Of course, there is no launch date available right now nor is the price. It is speculated that UMIDIGI would reveal the new device in early August. In the meantime, UMIDIGI is globally recruiting 30 trial users to test its smart devices UMIDIGI Ubeats, UMIDIGI Uwatch 2, and UMIDIGI Selfie Stick (10 units each) to help improve the user experience. You can learn all the latest news for UMIDIGI’s devices on their Facebook page and join the giveaway on their official website.

UMIDIGI A5 Pro hit the market like a thunder, becoming the most affordable entry-level phone with an ultra-wide angle triple camera. Since its launch, it became an instant hit thanks to its $100 price tag and incredible specs. So, it is time to see it in action in this short hands-on video below.

FHD+ display and Breathing Crystal design

Big notches and large bezels are a thing of the past so the UMIDIGI A5 Pro has only a tiny waterdrop notch and a small bottom bezel that is rare among so affordable smartphones. This means that the 6.3″ screen looks beautiful and visual experience is immersive. Thanks to the FHD+ (1080p) panel, details are crisp and clear unlike other phones in the same price category like the Redmi 7 that comes with a humble, HD+ (720p) panel.

What’s more, the back of the phone is all glass and comes in 2 colors: Breathing Crystal and Space Grey. The Breathing Crystal version shines like the Huawei P30 Pro’s one and it looks pretty premium. Also, the middle frame is made of metal and that’s another plus to the phone’s overall build quality.

Capture more with the Ultra-Wide Angle lens

1 of 2

The camera is a department where all manufacturers invest in and UMIDIGI did the same with A5 Pro as there is a triple sensor configuration on the back: a 16MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a depth lens for use in Bokeh effect. In fact, this is the first triple camera setup on a UMIDIGI device and the first $100 device with an ultra-wide lens. Photos look more than ok while the ultra-wide lens allows you to fit more information into the photo like on the Galaxy S10+ and other flagships. Also, the selfie camera features a 16MP high-resolution sensor.

Smooth Gaming and 4150mAh Battery

As for the rest of the specs, it is powered by the Helio P23 octa-core SoC backed by 4GB of RAM and it is capable of running heavy games like PUBG smoothly. In the meantime, you won’t have to worry about running out of battery in the middle of the day as the 4150mAh will last longer than that. The A5 Pro has a triple slot design and it can support two SIM cards/dual-4G support and a microSD card at the same time and it comes with Android 9 Pie preinstalled.

The UMIDIGI A5 Pro on sale right now on the company’s official store for $99.99 with the first orders expected to ship out on June 26th. In addition, UMIDIGI is globally recruiting 30 trial users to test the UMIDIGI Ubeats, UMIDIGI Uwatch 2, and UMIDIGI Selfie Stick (10 units each) to help in improving the user experience. You can check out all the details about the A5 Pro and join the giveaway on their official website.
