Design and Display
You have to give kudos to UmiDigi on this smartphone because it has found a way to make a smartphone that looks good and sells cheap.
The UmiDigi A1 Pro has rounded edges and well built plastic rear covering with a metallic frame coated in silver colour. Also, the rear appears to be curved with the dual camera, LED flash and fingerprint sensor arranged vertically at the mid-upper area of the rear.
Screen size is not as big as in some of the other smartphones and resolution is not top notch either. Instead, what you’ve got is an average sized screen with a budget HD+ resolution. In accordance with recent development, the screen has reduced bezels but there is no notch on the 5.5-inch display.

Battery and Camera
The display on the UmiDigi A1 Pro smartphone is not the only thing average as you also have a somewhat average battery capacity too in play with the rest of the meagre specs, Inside, you will find a 3, 150mAh battery which is enough till the end of the day depending on usage. You also get a USB Type-C port and quick charge, an uncommon occurrence for budget smartphones.
The camera performs adequately with available background blur effect and a number of other features. The main shooter is made of a 13MP primary sensor assisted by a 2MP camera that gathers more details. Over to the front camera, the UmiDigi A1 Pro has a 5MP sensor in charge.
Hardware and Software
The UmiDigi A1 Pro is not a powerful smartphone rather it is a budget smartphone which makes it alright that it only offers a MediaTek M6739 quad-core processor. As for the graphics, instead of the arbitrary Mali GPU, there is a PowerVR IMG 8XE GPU.
To make multi-tasking a bit easier, the UmiDigi A1 Pro ships with a 3GB RAM but much lesser storage space of 16GB out of which about 12GB is available for use.
