Design and Display
The UmiDigi One feels and looks like a premium smartphone built in such a way that it is sure to catch people’s attention when they see it especially the twilight colour option. The black carbon fibre model is also very nice but less flashy.
There is a dual rear camera arranged in a similar fashion as the Asus Zenfone 5 and a few details at the bottom including the UmiDigi name written boldly.
To the business of the display, there is a notch at the top, although a bit larger than some other ones. The resolution is also quite low and to add that the display is large visuals not appear as colourful as you want. The UmiDigi One features a 1520 x 720 pixels display, the figures are that way because of the 19:9 aspect ratio and a size of 5.9-inch.
Battery and Camera
In terms of power, battery tasked with keeping the UmiDigi One smartphone on had ample capacity but not one that can be tagged as large.
There is a lot you can do with a 3, 550mAh capacity battery found on this smartphone including sizeable gaming time, watch movies surf the Internet and so on. In addition, you’ve got a USB Type-C port plus quick charge.
Same as a bunch of other multiple camera smartphones in the market at the moment, the UmiDigi One sport a duo at the rear.
The duo includes a 12MP main camera supported by a 5MP camera for more details and background depth. The front notch has a 16MP camera for taking selfies with an added flash too.
Hardware and Software
Not much surprise springs up in the hardware as you have a rather common budget chipset in form of the MediaTek Helio P23 chipset.
The chipset has eight cores and a clock speed max of 2.0GHz a Mali-G71 GPU for graphics sorting. This is not a bad hardware considering you will be paying a budget price.
The rest of the component includes a 4GB RAM and 32GB storage space built-in as well as memory card support of up to 256GB. Like it should, the UmiDigi One has Android 8.1 Oreo pre-installed from the factory before shipping out.
