Presale adventures of full metal UMI Touch are finally coming to an end and the phone will start shipping to customers soonish. So it’s time for UMI to announce new flagship model and according to our info it’s not going to be some rusty pirate ship.
Seems like the planned model UMI Touch X got renamed so let’s welcome the new UMI Super! We even have some first pics of the phone and it’s quite clear it will be sporting dual rear camera setup. Our sources have also confirmed the bezel-less design, but that’s not visible on our pics yet.
Gizchina News of the week
With the dual camera setup the UMI Super probably intends to challenge similarly made LG G5 or Huawei P9, but it tries to offer an alternative solution. The two cameras are not sitting side by side of each other at the top, instead the Super cameras are lined up vertically along the dual flash LED.
What do you think of the dual camera thing? Are you a fan of the idea? Leave your comments below!
First person to comment here bashing UMi WITHOUT providing justification or potential solutions, loses
Game on
Oh gawd, some stranger on the internet said I lose if I don’t follow the rules he just set for a game I’m not playing… That’s a serious threat!
My friend, relax, was just trying to get the community to provide more critically productive commentary as oppose to the usual, non-helpful “bashing” that seems to be prevalent on GizChina lately
Man, as you said you’re excited. We just don’t see the reason to be, because there are no valuable tests and opinions about this phone yet. Same about your Touch – I would never gamble like this. I buy phones with widely confirmed quality and at least satisfying support.
It’s hard to keep repeating same comments under every news.
I actually have no excitement towards this article (although I, of course, hope that UMi can deliver, even though, like you, I also doubt it).
Regarding the UMi Touch, I also agree with you. This was literally the very first time I bought a phone without there being a decent amount of review data available. I simply bought this phone because it cost me essentially half of its market price and I constantly have family and friends who come to me looking for phones. Even if the UMi Touch is just half as good as advertised, I will find a friend who will want it, who is willing to workaround the potential issues that the phone exhibits, if there are any, or they don’t affect him/her (for the record, I am always 100% honest with them if there are issues and usually lose money myself because of them since I sell them for much less than I purchased them for).
seems it became national sport here. People angry with their lives with nothing better to do than spitting shit on all minor chinese OEMs even before trying their products. You can see you made someone of them mad already because you hit the nail in the head!
Why so butthurt?
another fake camera, chinese brand impossible make with one good photo, now with two joke noise.
No explanation or justification — you lose
yes two interpolated camera 🙂
What’s to explain here?
Chinese phones in this budget don’t offer anything interesting in the camera department and judging only by their previous products and cost of this phone I can tell you now, it iwll be nothing interesting again.
Enuogh?
If not, then I cannot help – you wouldn’t understand anyway.
That’s absolutely fair enough. The kind of comment that you just gave — coherent and well explained — is exactly what I was adhering to. And if frustration is what is required from members of this community to engage in helpful and productive commentary, then I’ll gladly take that fall.
Not sure why you had to resort to condescension though…
By the way, I actually fully agree with everything that was said, even by the OP, I just think that stating “another fake dual camera” isn’t productive without justification why it’s “fake” or without some sort of potential alternative. For example, since this dual camera implementation will probably suck, what sort of implementation would not suck? And is there an alternative in this regard, perhaps, for these Chinese budget brands that are feasible for them to keep costs down so they can compete while maintaining a end-user friendly experience? etc etc…
The reason I am so adamant about these kinds of things is because lots of these small brands actually do peruse GizChina and the corresponding comments, meaning that our comments could potentially have merit (I’m well aware the chance is extremely slim, especially considering that most of those brands simply use fake accounts to slap their brand “propaganda” into the comments section (*cough* Ulefone *cough*), but a chance there is nonetheless). When they constantly see comments that aimlessly bash their brand every chance they get, that does not help them, it also does not help other readers and, ultimately, harms GizChina as a whole because it immediately shuts out other potential members of the community who are looking on and see this rhetoric of “budget Chinese brands suck” (even though this website started out as an outlet for news for these budget brands). It also does nothing but potentially harm GizChina’s relations with those brands, and healthy relations with any company are good, regardless of whether their products are mainly bad ones.
If i read that article correctly Touch x was renamed to UMI Super and hardware changed completely?
http://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2643&highlight=Touch%2Bx
At the first post it also says “This product has been suspended temporarily.”
Is it really dual camera? The circle below the flash looks smaller and not transparent. Isnt it a fingerprint sensor in black colour?
I just got the umi touch 5.5 flagship phone and it was uneasy at first cause I’m using the LG V10 and it was a little different to use but I’m loving it and I took it to work and people wanted to buy the off me and I was not going to do that.. So I am a fan of the dual lens. I hope umi really put in alot of work in the lens and every aspect of the umi Super. And please bring back all black color and please add the dual windows for multitasking ability with any app of choice to use in the dual windows, and a thinner body with 5.7inch screen and no black strip around the screen please.
My UMi Touch is currently on its way, am excited for it, hope it can replace my Jiayu S3+ as my daily driver.
Noticed any glaring negatives from your use of it so far?
FAn of the qiku q terra signing in, the qiku q terra also did it vertically, but the question is!!! wil this be DUOSCOPIC like the p9 or the qiku q terra working simultaneously OR just normal like LG??

Go away dumb umi employee
Well after owning three umi’s, I’m done with them. I do not trust their claims anymore. By the way my last three phones have all been xiaomi’s (RN2,3 & redmi 3) and now would never go back to these small OEMs:)
It took you 3 Umi’s to figure it out?
Yeah! LOL. My first was the zero which surprisingly, was great(lucky me) and still going strong but the rest were a pile of crap. I’m still waiting for the promised Lollipop on my emax(not the TCL ported one) while the hammer is RIP. So finally I’ve come to the conclusion that I should not be ripped further by this company.
I received my Umi Touch last Friday, it’s It looks fabulous, more beautiful than I expected and the battery life is pretty long. this is my second Umi Phone, my first umi phone is UMI HAMMER S, and I’m so satisfied.
Hahahahaha
UMI management are crazy set of people. Releasing crap after crap with no future support and terrible after sales service.
Well, their supports at least responds most of the time and Touch already received 2 OTA updates. They seem to be one of the best budget brand miles ahead of Elephone etc.
I LOVE DUAL CAMS !
but they need to be cheaper !
Huawei Honor 6 Plus should be cheap now, go get it 😛
Here is some info about UMI Super while it was still in development process, including specs (Helio P10, 4000 mAh….) http://www.balkangadgets.com/ekskluziva-umi-super-je-nadolazeci-umi-flagship-telefon-helio-p10-4-gb-ram-a-i-velika-baterija/ . Use google translate or just read the specs 🙂
Very much like ulefone paris
wow, so cool umi, hope umi can release more fantastic smartphone with good price
Oh, It’s similar to Umi Touch, but add a dual camera, where can I see more pictures of Umi Touch? I’m interested about it.
Why are there two camera on the phone back? How to use them, are they any advantages compared with the one rear camera phone? I’m curious about it.
Can’t wait to review this phone? I’m really excited and look forward to get this phone.
