Chinese tech company UMIDIGI has revealed via a tweet posted recently that it will launch a new smartwatch which has as its biggest feature a SpO2 monitor. The smartwatch will be called UMIDIGI UFit and isn’t just a smartwatch but a fitness and health tracker. The product will be launched on March 16.

In the face of the Coronavirus outbreak, the focus on health and fitness has increased. The blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) level is a vital indicator of a person’s health. This tracking the SpO2 level is also a new wearable tech metric getting adopted by more manufacturers. It might sound complicated but SpO2 can reveal conditions. For example, coronavirus and sleep apnea may cause low blood oxygen saturation.

The SpO2 monitor is already in some big-name wearables: Fitbit and Garmin already have an SpO2 sensor on most of their devices, and Huawei has jumped in too. UMIDIGI UFit is expected to also have a SpO2 sensor but it would be much more affordable, in line with UMIDIGI’s market strategy.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the device, but there are a few things we can speculate from the teaser image. Besides the SpO2 monitoring function, it apparently has a curved screen and 2.5D glass. And there’s a side button to control the watch. We won’t have to wait long to learn more about the smartwatch since it goes official on March 16.

UMIDIGI is also running a giveaway with five units of the UMIDIGI F2 smartphone and fifteen units of the UFit up for takes. You can join the giveaway on their official website. You can also pre-order the UFit on AliExpress.

Being UMIDIGI’s latest flagship smartwatch, the UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will start global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 on AliExpress on Thanksgiving day (November 28th). Adopting a mainstream and modern design, it comes with 5ATM water resistance and clean UI, while providing real-time notifications and sports activity update to the user. But what makes it so different that someone would spend money on it? Let’s check out.

New premium dual-crown rounded display design

Moving away from the square design of the previous model, the Uwatch GT is suitable for both formal and sports occasions. Also, thanks to the two buttons (power button and function button) it is easier to operate.

5ATM water resistance

Of course, a modern smartwatch should offer protection against water and the Uwatch GT features 5ATM water resistance. This means that you can use it even if you dive 50 meters underwater (for 10 minutes)! In daily use, it is practically waterproof. Such a feature is found in other smartwatches on the market but with really expensive prices.

Up to two weeks’ battery life

The Achilles Heel of most smartwatches out there is the battery life. UMIDIGI is using Bluetooth 5.0 and other power-saving hardware to achieve one of the longest battery life for smartwatches out there. It can go on for up to 2 weeks even if you use the continuous heart rate monitoring as well as other basic features. It’s good to know that your smartwatch won’t turn off in the middle of the day or when you are exercising.

Continuous heart rate monitoring

Until recently, smartwatches didn’t come with continuous heart rate monitoring and the user had to trigger the function on his own. UMIDIGI stays up to date with the current features offered in the market so that you can monitor your heart status all day. The UWatch GT allows users to see their heart rate and monitor bradycardia and heart failure.

Smart sports mode

Featuring 12 sports modes that track what kind of activity the user is taking part in, such as running, cycling and more, UMIDIGI’s watch is Google Fit-enabled to give you credit for all your moves and provide a holistic view of your health.

Flagship features, budget price

The most important of all is its price tag. Unlike rival models with similar features that are asking for $150 or more, the UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will cost just $39.99 on Aliexpress during its global sales debut on Thanksgiving Day.

The sale will start on November 28th and will be valid until the end of Cyber Monday sales. To not miss the sale, you can add it to your cart on Aliexpress now. Lastly, the company is also running a Giveaway to give out 10 units to 10 trial users. You can see all the specs and join the giveaway here.

The post UMIDIGI Uwatch GT is worth your attention and here’s why appeared first on Gizmochina.

UMIDIGI that is best known for its affordable flagship smartphones, recently launched its latest flagship sports smartwatch, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT. According to the company, the killer features are its 5ATM water-resistance as well as Bluetooth 5.0, features difficult to find in smartwatches below $50. The Uwatch GT will be globally available on Thanksgiving at a discounted price of $39.99 and until then, you can check out the unboxing video below to see it in action.

The design has greatly improved over the previous version and the watch looks premium. UMIDIGI moved from a square display to a dual-crown rounded one with a watch case width of 47mm and a 1.3″ display. The metal body features smooth edges and paired with the silicon-based strap, it looks suitable both for work and sports. There are 2 physical buttons on the right side for easy use.

Back to the 5ATM feature, the Uwatch GT allows you to go for a swim while wearing it. As we’ve explained in previous news, the watch is water-resistant up to a depth of 50 meters for 10 minutes so that you don’t have to worry when wearing it in daily life or swimming.

What’s more, the watch supports advanced exercise tracking with 12 sports modes, including running and walking. Also, the continuous heart rate monitoring has improved over the previous model and the battery life is around two weeks with average use.

UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will start its global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 on November 28th and the promotion will last until the end of Cyber Monday sales.

UMIDIGI recently launched the UWatch GT flagship sports smartwatch hoping it will become a daily life and sports companion packed with everyday health and fitness features. The company claims that it has a water resistance of 5 ATM; that’s 50 meters deep underwater. But does it stand up to its on-paper specs? Let’s check out the facts. By the way, it will be globally available on Thanksgiving, November 28th, at a discounted price of $39.99.

So, what exactly does 5 ATM water resistance mean? And what makes ATM water resistance ratings different from other kinds of evaluation standards, such as IP ratings? Ingress Protection (IP) rating is already commonly used in the smartphone industry. For example, the latest iPhone 11 Pro is IP68 certified offering a high level of protection against water and dust. But IP ratings do not take water pressure into account. Therefore, IP ratings are not indicative of a device’s ability to be used during aquatic activities such as swimming. That’s why ATM is here.

ATM Ratings – Water Resistance Under Pressure

The ATM water resistance rating is the one you’ll find on regular mechanical and battery-driven watches and that you’ll most likely find on new wearables products. The pressure tests are measured in ATMs, which stands for atmospheres, and are converted to water depth to make the measurements easier to learn.

One ATM is equivalent to the pressure exerted on an object at 10 meters underwater. The higher the ATM rating, the deeper the product can go without being affected. The deeper you swim, the pressure rises. The basic ATM water-resistance levels are described below.

With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT is resistant to pressure at a depth of 50 meters, meaning the watch can not only resist water from rain but also be worn during shallow-water activities, like swimming.

UMIDIGI Uwatch GT goes on global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 starting November 28th and the promotion will last until the end of Cyber Monday sales. In case you miss the sale, you can add it to your cart on AliExpress right now. Don’t forget that UMIDIGI is already running a big giveaway to recruit 10 trial users for Uwatch GT.

As we’ve said in the past, UMIDIGI has stopped being just a smartphone manufacturer and has expanded to other fields too. After the release of its successful budget flagship smartphone UMIDIGI F2, the Chinese manufacturer just launched its sports smartwatch, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT. The watch will be available globally at a discounted price (not unveiled yet) on Thanksgiving, 28th November.

According to the company, the killer feature of Uwatch GT is the 5ATM water resistance which means the watch is water-resistant up to a depth of 50 meters for 10 minutes so that you don’t have to worry when wearing it in daily life or swimming. Usually, a similar feature is available in very expensive smartwatches.

The biggest upgrade over its predecessor is the design as the new model adopts a more premium rounded design with some feature improvements. It’s one of the biggest among its class with a 47mm width and 1.3″ display. The round body comes with smooth edges, providing a look suitable both for sports and work. Also, like the Huawei GT 2, the UWatch also comes with 2 control buttons on the right side.

What’s also upgraded is the Bluetooth version as it now comes with Bluetooth 5.0 meaning significant increase in connection stability, power consumption, and data transfer speed compared to Bluetooth 4.0. Inside the watch, UMIDIGI adopts low-power chips that, paired with their smart power-saving algorithm, allow for a two weeks battery life on a single charge. Also, software-wise, the watch supports advanced exercise tracking with 12 compatible activities, including running, walking, hiking, cycling and swimming. Heart rate monitoring is also improved.

Uwatch GT comes in 2 colors, Matte Black and Midnight Green.

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.

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.

It will launch on October 23rd featuring a quad rear camera and a new green color option that have now been revealed through some new renders.

The phone hosts a 6.53’’ notchless hole-punch FHD+ display like UMIDIGI F2 and also runs on Android 10.

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.
