UMi Touch shows off speedy fingerprint security


A new video shot by UMi shows how fast the fingerprint scanner on the UMi Touch is compared to the iPhone 6S.

Now that the UMi Touch is officially in stock and shipping to customers we will soon know just how good the latest UMi is going to be.

However before the phone does land with buyers here is one more video to take a look at which shows the speed of the UMi Touch’s fingerprint scanner compared to the iPhone 6S.

Gizchina News of the week


Generally speaking we should normally play it safe and be a little cautious of the claims in the video, which shows the UMi much faster than the iPhone, but I think this is legit.

In our office we have iPad’s with Apples Touch ID feature and it is quite slow and quite inaccurate at times, especially compared to most modern Chinese phones and their fingerprint scanners.

The UMi Touch appears to be a well-rounded Android phone with 5.5-inch FHD display, 3GB RAM, and 4000mAh battery all wrapped in a full metal body. Hopefully we will receive one soon for review.

    Can’t wait to see a review that totally destroy all of those bullsh*t we’ve been fed on daily basis for months now…

      What will happen if you eventually see a review that says all the so called “bullsh*t” is actually true of the Umi Touch?

        I forgot a crucial word while typing: “MARKETING bullsh*t”. We don’t know yet if everything will be true or false or something in the middle, but I just can’t get past all of the viral marketing behind this phone, starting from that fake “user’s defined” and now all of these daily news about how perfect the phone is… I can guarantee that not everything said while advertising the phone will be proven by facts, but that’s not my problem: the phone can be good or bad, but this type of viral marketing is just annoying

          user defined was real, there was a survey and the specs were the ones which ended up on final product. Only two choices for each component, but it’s a small company, couldn’t ask more.
          As for viral marketing, all these smaller companies have to survive somehow, it’s not an easy market the smartphone’s one.

        He will be eating a lot of crow lol. Personally of all the cheaper brands I think UMi is the best.

      Umi, a company which never makes good phone, will make a good phone named Umi Touch?

    just replace the MTK 6753 with Helio x10 and WE’LL HAVE A WINNER!

      Or they they can just cut down the retail price to sub $130. that’s if they don’t fake the specs tho

    i really dont no why umi chose 6753 instead of x10 or p10. all companies are going for best processors. And umi is beyond the race just because of the processor now

    • Semi

      6753 is still capable of very good performances for the average user, yet it helps keeping the costs down.
      I see a P10 version coming if this phone proves to be successful.

        Haha, you make me laugh. Although UMI is basically a liar, they are not as stupid as to pack new chipset in an old body.

        • Semi
          March 31, 2016

          what the body has to do with the chipset, you genius?
          revisions are pretty common in this sector, it also helps lowering costs while keeping a solid and known base.

      oh yeah, guess that a 99$ with mt6753, 3gb ram+16gb rom had some corners to be cut. in order to make a profit from it.
      you had to expect that on the price tag, that’s why you should buy 150$> chinese phones, less sacrified things and more quality products.
