Display and Camera
Umidigi Z Pro looks very similar to the UMi Z. It is 8.2mm thin, weighs 175g, and built with the same aluminium alloy. One major difference in design is that the Umidigi Z Pro is only available in prime black.
Umidigi Z Pro sports a 5.5-inch IGZO Display from Sharp. The display still maintains 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. The entire front is protected by Dragontrail Glass.
The major advantage of the Umidigi Z Pro over the Z has to do with the rear camera. UMidigi is dropping the single 13 megapixels Samsung S5K3L8 sensor in the UMi Z and replacing it with two 13 megapixels Sony IMX 258 sensors and 6-element lens system per sensor. The two cameras combine to give what UMidigi calls a DSLR grade camera.
The camera allows you to shoot first and focus later, which comes handy if you want to blur the background of a photo. Two cameras also means you can capture images in 3D. Like in the Z, the new camera on the Umidigi Z Pro offers both laser autofocus and phase detection autofocus. A quad-LED flash is also provided.
Umidigi is keeping things the same for the front camera. It is still the single 13 megapixels Samsung S5K3L8 sensor with a soft LED flash.
You may also be intersted in the Umidigi A13 Pro Max, the Umidigi G1 Max, the Umidigi A13 Pro 5G, and the Umidigi Bison 2 Pro.
Hardware and Software
Umidigi Z Pro is powered by the Mediatek Helio X27, which offers a 3-cluster deca-core processor. The processor consists of two quad-core ARM-A53 CPUs clocked at up to 2.0GHz and 1.6GHz respectively and a dual-core ARM-A72 clocked at 2.6GHz. Along with the UMi Z, the Umidigi Z Pro is the first smartphone to offer Mediatek’s 2017 top of the line chipset.
Umidigi Z Pro is loaded with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) out of the box. However, as soon as you turn on the phone, you will be able to get Android 7.0 OTA update. Umidigi Z Pro has 4GB RAM and 32GB built-in storage. It also supports up to 256GB microSD memory card.
The UMidigi Z Pro supports two Nano-SIM slots with the secondary SIM also doubling as the microSD slot. It supports USB Type C, Bluetooth 4.1, a front-facing fingerprint sensor, dual-band Wi-Fi and Cat-6 LTE with download speeds of up to 300Mbps.
Like UMidigi’s 2016 linup like the Umi Plus and Umi Plus E, the LTE bands supported by the UMidigi Z Pro include the bands B1, B3, B7, and B20. This means it will still not support 4G LTE in the United States.
In Nigeria, the UMigidi Z Pro will support 4G LTE on MTN, Etisalat, NTel, Smile, and InterC, while in Ghana and Kenya you can connect via MTN and Safaricom respectively.
Pricing and Availability
Umidigi Z Pro is available at a price of around $299.99. You can buy it for $249.99 on GearBest. You can also find the smartphone at online retailers like Chinavasion, AliExpress, and Gearbest at launch.
The Umidigi Z Pro may endup selling on Jumia Nigeria as some of the older models from the company are currently being offered by an international third party seller. When that happens, Umidigi Z Pro price in Nigeria should range from 105,000 Naira and 130,000 Naira.
