PoisonedOne:
which one be "umidiji" again? The name sounds like something produced in a village in Anambra State

malton:
Okay. That's good to know.

For all the negative things I've heard about umi products, they must be pulling out fine then.

You have no need for the OP5 just yet then. Hehe.

Victorakats:
Amazing Machines!

Will always settle for S8

Xblink:
Oboy see Huawei n Gionee dey rub shoulder oooo...no b small thing ooo

Lexusgs430:
Since switching from Umi to Umidigi, it seems they are trying to make a statement of intent.
OP5 if price is $500. Or await the Umidigi crystal Plus (it promises a snapdragon 835). We wait and see if they are simply yanking our chains.......

donkaz2:
Yes oooo and someone go sit down for backyard call gionee chinko phone

malton:
I feel the OP5 will be in the sub-$500 region.

Crystal Plus, I'll have to Google that. The company seems promising, I must admit.

Umidigi is a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer. They try not to spend any money on Research & Development. Models like IPhone 6 & 7, have already fallen prey to this business model, not also forgetting xiaomi edge2edge.......
