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.

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.

The post Leaked UMIDIGI X suggests that the most affordable smartphone with in-display fingeprint is coming appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Now UMIDIGI is going to stun the industry with its new flagship UMIDIGI S3 Pro, which has a massive 5150mAh battery. The device is also coming with Sony’s most advanced 48MP IMX586 sensor which is the same sensor in Huawei’s latest Nova 4 and the upcoming Honor View 20.

The Sony IMX586 sensor features 48 effective megapixels, the industry’s highest pixel counts. The sensor measures 1/2 inch, physically larger than most competitors. It supports four-pixel integration (0.8μm synthesis 1.6μm). For comparison, market-leading phones like the Pixel 3 and iPhone XS have 12-megapixel sensors with 1.4µm pixels. The advanced sensor can help UMIDIGI S3 Pro users to capture photos without noise even in dim light conditions.

The post UMIDIGI S3 Pro with a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor to slug it out with the Nova 4 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese phone manufacturer UMIDIGI is set to stun the industry with yet another phone model with an outstanding specs lineup. The device dubbed UMIDIGI S3 Pro has as its standout feature Sony’s most advanced camera sensor – the IMX586 with a super 48MP shutter.

Sony first announced the IMX586 stacked CMOS image sensor for smartphone cameras in July this year. The new sensor features 48 effective megapixels, the industry’s highest pixel count. The new product also achieved a world-first ultra-compact pixel size of 0.8 μm, making it possible to pack 48 effective megapixels onto a 1/2-type (8.0 mm diagonal) unit, thereby supporting enhanced imaging on smartphone cameras. Interestingly, the UMIDIGI S3 Pro may likely be the first device to utilise the new sensor and not a Huawei or Sony flagship. It is presently the largest you can find on a smartphone. It beats the Huawei P20 Pro 40MP sensor as well as the 41MP sensor on the good old Lumia 1020. The increased resolution should help UMIDIGI S3 Pro make for better daytime snaps as well as deliver superb shooting performance at night.

The battery will ensure the phone is capable of an extended usage period. Other details of the device are still sketchy but no doubt the device holds lots of promises in various aspects. Hopefully, we’ll find out more details in the coming days.
