Yet another uphill battle in UMI Touch vs iPhone 6S comparison


UMI Touch

Iconic place in the chinese mobile pond is without and doubt occupied by Apple products, specifically any iteration of the iPhone. Comparisons with the latest Apple model are bread and butter before any new handset market entrance. And UMI Touch is just around the corner, so trying to score some victories over the major rival is intensifying.

UMI Touch can´t compete for obvious reasons in terms of sheer hardware power, but still packs some punch in some other areas. Like the fingeprint unlock, where it allegedly matches or exceeds iPhone’s speed and on top of that offers simple unlock without the need of waking up screen.

In terms of camera performance we have already seen the direct comparison between Sony IMX328 sensor in UMI Touch and iPhone 6S and that left us curious about the reality. To help us decide the company provided yet another video of camera comparisons, this time aimed at the Xiaomi.

Last but not least comes the theoretical advantage in way larger battery capacity, where hopefully the UMI touch will shine with 4000 mAh.

Cherry on the top of course is the inevitable price comparison in the very end, where UMI Touch rules with 179.99$ official pricetag. Do we expect something like the iPhone 6S ? Not really, but the bang for the buck can be really high and we are very much looking forward to getting our paws all over the new UMI.

    These companies need to seriously stop with the comparison videos, they make their phones look even worse.

      UMI needs to stop producing phone and enter into fashion industry instead.

        Lol. Some of their phones aren’t bad, I really liked my UMi Zero.

          Try over hyped UMI Rome.

          The only of their phone that is manageable is UMI emax mini.

          Very few of them. Umi and Elephone are the worst. Unreliable pieces of sh#t.

            Ive only had two UMi’s and had good luck with both. The one Elephone I had was crap.

    What’s the point? Are these guys masochists or plain stupid? The entire Android ecosystem competes with Crapple not some miniscule phone or company.

    How can people be so brainwashed by one manufacturer and one phone?

    Don’t think anyone is really impressed with these videos. I am looking forward to a proper review on this phone here at GizChina though.

    Here, let me take some deliberately bad photos using a 6s betraying an ultimate lack of understanding g of its controls or photography in general. Then let me retake those same photos using the best teqniques and light conditions possible whilst utilising my phone. How else can I “prove” that my phone has the best camera?

    What’s even funnier is that Apple hasn’t been making the best mobile cameras for some years now, I don’t get this fixation with apple products by Chinese people. Iphones are producing worse and worse quarters as the years go by, they have peaked and are on their way down, haven’t those chinese companies got the memo?

        They’re popular everywhere, but they’re on their way down, maybe they should start betting on a different horse or at least compare their phones with a different brand for once…
