A dewdrop notch hosts the selfie camera in the front. The fingerprint sensor is located on the right side of the phone sharing the same spot as the power button.
Just like in the Umidigi A13, the Umidigi A13s, and the A13 Pro, you get a customizable button on the left. This button can be programmed so that a single click, double click, or long press will give you instant access to an app or a phone feature like turn on the flashlight.
Umidigi F3 has a 6.7-inch display with 720 x 1650 pixels resolution. The display should be great for watching movies and browsing the web.

This is the same chipset as the Umidigi F3 SE and the Power 7 Max, but different from the Mediatek Helio P70 chipset available in the F3. Both chipsets seems equally matched so there is very little separating them.
