Reviews for the UMI Z

80% UMI Z Smartphone
Source: IT Pro Portal English Archive.org version
It’s a toss between this one and the UMi Plus E. We’d still prefer the latter because of the storage capacity and RAM. Shame about the lack of NFC but at least it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

80% UMI Z review: First Helio X27 phone is fast and great for selfies
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The UMI Z is an excellent-value Android phone with a large battery, a decent screen, the most powerful MediaTek processor you can get and a very good selfie camera. Unfortunately the primary camera doesn't quite live up, but it's otherwise difficult to fault. With full UK 4G connectivity it's a great buy.

Comment

ARM Mali-T880 MP4: Mobile graphics solution for tablets and smartphones, which can be found in ARM SoCs like the HiSilicon Kirin 950.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


76.8%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
