Few days ago, I ordered the A3 pro(gold) from Jumia promised to do a user review


I met that nairalander who put up his own for sale just to see what the phone looks like before making my order & it wasn't bad to me, even the guy was in love with the phone unknowingly and very reluctant to sell

Body- everyone who has seen the phone with me admired the beauty of the phone, including the glass finish and always find it hard to believe the price. Though I'm a lover of dark coloured phones, but I like the finish too, looks premium and a bit fragile but I quickly got a tempered glass for it.

Screen - coming from someone who has used a couple of Samsung phones and Xiaomi, the screen is very nice. It's very decent, sharp & responsive. The only issue to me is the screen is still bright even on the lowest at night.

Camera - the camera seems quite decent to me even in the dark, but picture addicts like my woman rated the camera average

Performance - it's ok for the price, lags occasionally when multiple apps are opened, not the fastest fingerprint scanner I've seen, ram management is good. I'm not a mobile gamer, but it handled my few games very well & it responds quickly too. The Os and the icons are nice to me.

Battery - in my opinion, I think the battery has a performance of a 3000Mah, it drained quickly after my first charge, but after installing 2updates and adjusting some settings, the battery life improved a bit. I leave home with a full battery & I'll have to charge once more before leaving work. It charges quickly, in 2hours my phone is almost fully charged. Phone heats up easily too, but still way better than what I've faced with Samsung

Notch - I use the swipe setting and when everyone sees my screen at night, they thinks it's a very expensive phone, people keep starring at my screen. The notch makes it look beautiful, but it would have been nicer if apps notification icons could show on the notch, notifications Just disappear and you'll have to slide down before seeing them

Speaker - speaker is quite loud, but the sound it produces is like a sound from a closed box

Software updates - I received 2 wireless update, and I hope we receive OTA updates

Overall, I like the notification lights, the size is perfect for one hand usage though slightly heavy due to the metal and glass finish, the side buttons are well positioned, clear call quality, I love the thin bezels except for the chin...lol, but I would have loved to see font options.

It's a value for money and you can't get such specs on Infinix for that price. I'll rate it 7/10

I'm still getting 4G on my Glo in my location

Hi guys I intend buying a new phone by February and I'm considering buying a Umidigi phone, Budget is 90k, Preferred specifications are Battery 4000mah and above, storage 4gb 64gb, slim design and light weight and an EXCELLENT camera, Are there other and better suggestions please? I've been a faithful Xiaomi user but I want to try another brand, I'll appreciate any suggestion I can get, thanks

May I say, your review is indeed very detailed.... The issue about the screen brightness, we have flogged numerously on this thread in the past...... Simply download a blue filter app.....

Welcome to the Umifamily...... Go forth and preach the Umidigi gospel..........
Re: UMIDIGI DISCUSSION THREAD by Lexusgs430: 4:28am On Jan 27, 2019
Umidigi One Max has installed 2 speaker firing channels, one at the top and the other at the bottom. It truly makes the Umidigi One Max, a very good device.....

Why hasn't elephone, umi , ulephone and co died off?
Oga, i guess u aren't that well versed with the Chinese phone brands and how they operate. If u want an honest opinion about a phone, watch/read reviews from the likes of Andy sky and Linus of techlinehd
You seem to know much about those Chinese phone companies. Please I just came across Doogee Y8 on aliexpress and I am considering buying it as my second phone since I already have umidigi A3 pro.
The specs of that Doogee Y8 just got a grip on me. Waiting for your advice. Thanks.
