The Umidigi Bison Pro is a more premium sequel to the standard Umidigi Bison 2021. It sets its self on a higher pedestal, by offering a more capable processor, which is basically the only major change here, as a large majority of its other offerings are reminiscences, more in the article.

Design and Display
On the design train of the Umidigi Bison Pro, we have a reminisced design coming from its less premium sibling. The difference here is in the arrangement of the camera module on the rear and the colour variants.
The colours available here include Storm Grey and Hack black, as opposed to Lava Red and Cyber Yellow on its less premium sibling.
Umidigi retained the slightly sophisticated look on the rear. A design that gives the instinct that things are more than normal.
We have a tough build setup here. Offering water and dust resistance seen on the regular Bison 2021. We have the IP68 and the IP69K certifications, which are trademark of the Bison series. Umidigi claims this device will survive in 1.5m depth of water for 30 minutes, which in my opinion is enough time to retrieve the device in the advent of an accident.
Thanks to its reinforced edges, the Bison pro can also survive a drop from a height of 1.5m.
On the rear, we have a square camera module with triple cameras as opposed to the quad-camera on its less premium sibling. More on the highlights of the rear panel design, we have the Umidigi Bison Pro branding, which indicates it’s an Umidigi smartphone.
Moving upfront, we have a 6.4-inch display with a teardrop notch holding its selfie camera. This display has a resolution of 1080 x 2340 Pixels.
The Cameras
On the camera side of the Umidigi Bison Pro, we have a reminiscing setup from its regular Bison 2021 still. Its fact holds for both the front and rear panel.
On the rear, we have a 48MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8, a 5MP macro camera with a macro distance of 2.5cm, and a 16MP ultrawide camera with a 117° field of view. Video record on this camera is capped at 1080p @ 30fps.
Moving on to the rear front camera side, we have a single 24MP camera with an aperture of f/2.0. Video record here is also capped at 1080p @ 30fps.
Hardware and Software
As mentioned in the introductory paragraph, the Umidigi Bison Pro’s processor is what sets it apart from its less premium sibling. On-board here, we have the MediaTek G80 Processor, as opposed to the MediaTek Helio P60 on the regular Bison 2021.
It also happens that we have more RAM variants here, here we have 4GB and 8GB RAM options as opposed to just 8GB on its less premium sibling. The storage size remains the same 128GB.
We also have a reminisced battery capacity of 5000mAh and an 18W fast charge mechanism.
On the software side, the Umidigi Bison Pro runs its stock Google user interface on top of the stock Android 11 operating system like the Umidigi Bison X10 and Bison X10 Pro.
Connectivity
The Umidigi Bison Pro features a USB type-c port, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC support, and WiFi connectivity.
Internet connectivity is capped at 4G just like other members of the Bison family like the Umidigi Bison and Bison GT, which means enthusiasts won’t have access to 5G speed on this device. 5G connectivity is available only in the top of the line Umidigi Bison GT2 5G and Bison GT2 Pro 5G.
