    This one is a big “meh” from me… Yes it’s way to pricey , it has some nice features but the P60 from Mediatek is a big let down.
    I was a fan of Mediatek SOCs but since I tried the Snapdragon 820 I have to be more realistic about it … Mediatek SOCs don’t match the Qualcomm ones even if they score well in Antutu and other benchmarks.
    The Android version upgrades, source code releases and other things like these are also a catastrophe for Mediatek SOCs so you’re going to mostly be stuck on that version of Android with not that many community ROMs.

    For $374 you can get the Xiaomi Mi 8 which is in my opinion miles ahead of this one and that’s $74 that’s well spent.

      U r right. Mediatek and Snapdragon are like AMD vs. Intel. Maybe they are a bit cheaper but always big step back. Their flagship P60 is made in 12nm process while Snapdragon introduced 8nm SND730. Anyone with basic konowlege of processor knows what it means.

    This is arguably the best midrange phone available. Umidigi are of one the best Chinese manufacturers you’ve never heard of. I just wish Umidigi made genuine flagship phones. The fact that they ship with more or less pure Android 8.1 is a massive selling point. It will be interesting to see how easy it is to unlock the boatloader.
    Looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 3, this unfortunately would be a sideways step that I couldn’t justify.
    Seriously, don’t listen to Marius, he’s talking nonsense. The Mi 8 with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, the same as the Z2 pro, is about $430, so $130 more.
    The P60 holds it’s own against the snapdragon 660, and this phone is very competitively priced with phones that come with the 660.

      Seriously?
      Let’s talk cameras then for a bit.
      Umidigi might be a great company and the quality of their phones seens to increase with every new model they launch. Credit where credits due. However… When it comes to the camera quality it looks they’re still falling behind on brands like Xiaomi and Meizu.

      When you take their S2 for example: Even in the 300 euro euro ‘high end’ version the so called dual camera was not a real depth-in-field camera, and the ”bokeh effect” was a software generated circle of blur . And to top it off they decided to slap a 720p screen (on a 6 inch screen mind you!) on this phone.

      There are 130 to 150 euro cheaper phones out there that manage to come with a 6 inch FHD screen. And much much better Camera’s than the S2 Pro had. But I see a line of improvement and a lot of potential. And I haven’t seen the Umidigi One nor the Z2 Pro yet. Let’s hope we will get a review unit of either one 😉

      I was able to find the Snapdragon 845 powered Mi8 for $374 on Kimovil. Yes it was a special offer but similar ones will probably be available soon of you look.

      Yes it was the 64 GB version but for me 64 GB is quite enough and I don’t really need 128 GB. Also the 64 GB of the Mix2 is also available for $355 on Kimovil , a very good phone.

    Flagship eh… in nautical terms more like the flagship of the Fiji Navy.
