UMi look to be on track to launch their flagship phone either later this month or early next month, and screenshots of the phone UMi X2 finally seem to prove that the X2 is in fact now running 2GB RAM!
Gizchina News of the week
The X2 looks to have been just one step away from heading in to full production, the pesky issue with compatibility between the quad-core Mediatek MT6589 processor and 2GB RAM. The first hint we had that the problem had been fixed was when the No.1 P7 mini Pad got an official launch date, and now it seems UMi have got a fix too.
The screen shots here show that the X2 is also running Android 4.2.1, has a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU, 12.6 mega-pixel rear camera and 1.9 megapixel front.
So now all the pieces are in place how long will we have to wait we get an official release date for the UMi X2!

The title says 2 GB ROM ! π
oh dear one moment
Umi India – SHAME, SHAME, SHAME
No updates regarding delivery of UMI X2 to customers who have paid full amount till date either in UMI India website or Facebook even on 15th May 2013.
Customers without any knowledge unable to take proper decision whether to cancel their orders and ask for refund, or file consumer case, or even PIL in Supreme Court of India, or make complaint before Economic Offence Wing of Delhi Police.
Neither UMI India Website nor Umimobile Facebook mentions the Registered Office of Umi India or the Company operating behind the Veil of Umi India from Indian Soil. Corporate details, corporate office, registered office, distributor office address, contact address not provided anywhere.
If UMI India (or the persons operating behind) is not a fraud furnish the necessary details in your website and Facebook ASAP?
If the necessary details are not furnished ASAP, PIL before Hon’ble Supreme Court of India or Complaint before Economic Offence Wing of Delhi Police is in pipeline for seizure of your bank accounts, closure of your website and Facebook accounts, and arrest of Umi India Directors, officers and employees for cheating and embezzlement of payments made by innocent customers who were induced to pay by your intentional, dishonest and fraudulent promise to deliver UMI X2 by March 2013, then by April 2013, and now by 15th – 18th May 2013 when you had complete knowledge of the real facts that you are not in a position to deliver on your promise.
We had this phone reviewed in india from gogi rana ( renowned tech reviewer) and I am hopeless now after seeing this phone perform so bad the X1s have better benchmarks than the 2GB ram one well it’s just another piece of crap now
The 480 ppi number looks suspicious too. 5″ 1080p is 440 ppi pixel density.
You right ! with 5″ 1080 x 1776 it must be 415 ppi .
Unless the screen is 4,3″ then its true 483 ppi
so tricky…
