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.

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 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.

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.

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.
