UMI Z1 Pro

UMI claims that the Z1 Pro is the world's thinnest flagship killer. According to them, the device is 6.95 mm thin. But some users claim on-line that it is more than that at around 8 mm thick. You already have a warning flag, right? This is why i have mixed feelings about this device. Its price tag is close to 300$ and all online reviews give mixed impressions. There are youtube videos which suggests not to buy the device, but then there are online review sites strongly recommending a purchase. I am more close to not buying the device. The reason for my advice is that the software is buggy according to most of the reviews. Of course it is software and can be fixed, but after doing a research about the experience of UMI owners, they all say to stay away from UMI. Of course general impression does not mean you will have a bad experience, but it should be an indicator, a warning sign. When you try to understand why people are complaining this much, it actually becomes obvious why you should skip this device. First of all, let's start with the good parts. The Metallic case looks good, it has a nice AMOLED screen, a 4000 mAh battery, 6 GB of RAM, a 64 GB Samsung disk and MediaTek 6757 SoC. The hardware looks promising. But the utilization is questionable. The screen lacks brightness, the speakers lack bass, the fingerprint sensor is slow, the general user experience is okay but laggy. This should not be how you would want to spend your money. The biggest complain is about the cameras. There is a dual setup consisting of a 13 MP and a 5 MP sensor at the rear side and a 5 MP front camera. Nevertheless, the pictures lack contrast and depth. It is like they are taken with low resolution cameras. In short, they do not satisfy at all. After all this reading, research, going through different resources of information, I think of a reason to buy this device. But unfortunately can not find one. There are better and also cheaper alternatives like the Vernee Mars Pro or maybe the Xiaomi Mi6. You can even go for the Asus Zenfone series. If you can spend slightly more money, you can get better devices from Huawei or HTC. If you still want to buy this device, just be aware that the camera will disappoint you. Other than that you may not have any issues for day to day usage. The only criticism I am trying to bring up here is that there are better devices that you can buy for the price of this phone.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

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

ARM Mali-T880 MP2: Mobile graphics solution for tablets and smartphones, which can be found in ARM SoCs (for mostly Android based devices). The Mali-T880 can be built with 1 to 16 clusters, where the MP2 version features 2 clusters/cores.

ARM Mali-G71 MP2: Integrated GPU that can be found e.g. in the Mediatek Helio P23 SoC with 700 or 770 MHz clock speed. Supports OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, DirectX 11 FL11_1 and RenderScript.

76.93%: 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.
