Exclusive: Official UMi X3 Specifications

While leaking the specifications of the entry-level UMi x1 Pro, our source at UMi also confirmed the details of the flagship, octacore UMi X3.

Specifications for the UMi X3 have been in flux ever since it was first leaked all those months ago, but we finally have the official hardware which will go in to (the first batch at least) the new flagship UMi smartphone.

So what has changed? Well the rear camera on the phone is now a more pedestrian 13 mega-pixel unit with F2.2 aperture, it won't ship with 4G LTE (not to start with at least), the octacore processor is clocked at 1.7Ghz and it appears Android 4.2 will come as standard rather than Android 4.3!

The rest of the phone remains unchanged meaning a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display, 2GB RAM, 8 mega-pixel front camera and rather large 3150mAh battery. We have also discovered a few new things about the UMi X3 such as the display will feature a fingerprint and smear resistant coating, the internal memory will have 120mb/s read speed, LDS antenna, a smart home button/notification light (similar to the Meizu MX3), USB OTB and dual microphones. From the official specifications we can also see the first batch will geet 16GB of internal memory, 32-64GB will come at a later date.
