Umidigi Power 5S is more or less like a more affordable variant to the Power 5. To cut cost, the affordable android phone has some tradeoffs in the hardware compared to the standard edition. However, the Umidigi Power 5S keeps the most outstanding feature of the Power 5, which is the massive 6150 mAh battery.

Aside the battery, cameras, and display, the Power 5S looks like a downgrade. In fact it looks more like the Umidigi A11s with a bigger battery. It features the same processor as the A11s and lacks features like fingerprint sensor and infrared thermometer just like the A11s.
This Umidigi Power phone is the direct predecessor to the 2022 series Umidigi Power 7S.
