Could the
UMi X1 be making a comeback? UMi say ‘Yes’ and recent E-commerce listings confirm the arrival of the refreshed
new phone!
The UMi
X1 launched back in 2012 as a flagship dual-core smarpthone with 720p
display, earlier this year it was reintroduced as the UMi X1S with
quad-core MT6595
quad-core chipset.
For 2014 the
X1 is set to launch once again as the UMi
X1 Pro with an all
new design,
chipset and low price. The
X1 Pro actually looks like a tempting Hongmi replacement and features a 1.3Ghz
MT6582 chipset, 1GB RAM,
Android 4.2 and a
4.7-inch 720p
display. The
design of the
phone gets a HTC One look from the front and a Nubia Z5 on the rear, which is also where you will find a rear facing camera which may be a 5MP or 8MP unit.
According to this Pandawill listing which GizChina reader Romanos sent over to us, the UMi X1 Pro will cost $119.99. Good price or overpriced?
