OptimisticRock:
Hello guys! So I recently took a gamble and decided to try out the Umidigi A7 pro after following this thread for a while. Here is my review/impressions about the phone thus far;

1. Design/Build quality: I got the cosmic black version. The design is sleek and has a nice glossy back finish. It has a nice heft to it which I like (You will definitely feel something has left your body if awon boys decide to be funny).

The back design follows the trendy quad camera setup which I find generic. The supplied case should serve you well. It is has a coarse feel which makes the phone easier to grip. You can one hand it but occasionally have to use two.

2. Os/Performance: It is smooth! Android 10 is really a delight to use. Dark mode combined with nova launcher makes actions feel really snappy. Almost pixel-esque. There is the occasional lag here and there, but I can't complain for the price.

I have heard one is the drawbacks of Umidigi phones is no OS updates. However, I don't feel it is much of an issue as the android OS is now mature and future iterations will just be minimal adjustments(Android 11 is just small tweaks over android 10 really)

If you plan to use this phone for heavy gaming at max settings etc, don't get your hopes too high. It can handle a few light games here and there, nothing major like you would get from higher budgets. Heavier title should work on lower settings.

All apps run quick and snappy. Multitasking is relatively okay and Duraspeed helps.

3.Call reception/Connection: Clear call quality, average reception. Data speed is hit and miss for me. But I won't be too critical because network reception is dependent on location. My Glo and Airtel work just fine but could be better.

4.Camera: I feel this is one of the weak points of the phone. The camera is bang avearge. Maybe using a Google pixel for a long time has really elevated my standard for mobile photography. With good lighting, you can get okay pictures to share on whatsapp etc but don't expect extraordinary imagines. At least pictures do not like they were taken on a potato.

Video call quality is also okay. Works fine.

5.Battery: Battery power is decent. But for 4000+mah battery, I think it should be better. I was able to get about 10hrs screen on time using WiFi on flight mode while surfing the internet and using different apps. The mtk chipset isn't as power effecient as snapdragon so I guess that explains why.

5:Sound output: Bottom speaker is loud and clear, mic works well. I found audio output via wired earphones lacking though. Volume sound a bit low even at max level.

Tldr: Umidigi A7 pro is a very good phone that gives you bang for your buck! I doubt if any phone presently on the market gives as much value for what you pay for. If you are a functional user and casual gamer do not hesitate to purchase one.




Bang on important details...... I can see you have thoroughly researched this thread and you clearly highlighted all issues, we have previously raised.......

Goes to show we are not Umidigi fanboys/girls, we type our truthful user experiences ......

3rd party apps are available, letting you manually take control of camera functionalities, improving your output/exposure (but not comparable to pixel)...... Pixel devices are in a class of their own, with no known rivals........

Apps such as - :
Proshot
ProCam X
One HW camera

Continually keep Umipeppering and umigingering, non umidigi users...... cheesy

Bro, I am experiencing mid life crisis. I don't know if I should do a Nokia 7.2 or Samsung A50 or Xiaomi 9 or Umidigi A7 (all should be a minimum of 4/64 with 2K resolution and a good battery juice of minimum 4000mah)

I need an unbiased opinion on them.

Almost a year after I got my device, battery still as strong as day one and there is virtually no lagging at all. Umidigi is something else
