UMIDIGI One Pro

UMIDIGI One Pro Phablet

UMIDIGI One Pro and UMIDIGI One are two very interesting products that the company has presented to offer a solution to those looking for high-end hardware, compactness and elegance in their smartphones.

UMIDIGI One Pro and UMIDIGI One are the company’s latest smartphones, two mid-range smartphones that combine design, reliability and power at a very attractive price. If you have never heard of UMIDIGI, it is one of the most famous brands in China along with many others, of which the most famous you’ll know are perhaps Xiaomi and Huawei.

Both smartphones are aimed at a public attentive to details, starting from the materials and the particular coloring of both, but especially to those who want a hardware of everything compared to the right price, without paying the surcharge that other brands apply to their products. They are two mid-range compact smartphones that will make the happiness of those who want a large display area but still do not want to end up with a smartphone too bulky. Among other things, there are features that don’t even have top of the range that cost three or four times more of these devices, such as the stereo sound of the UMIDIGI One or the fast wireless charging of the UMIDIGI One Pro.

UMIDIGI One Pro and UMIDIGI One: DESIGN

For one of the colours of both smartphones, the Chinese company takes its cue from the iconic design of the Huawei P20 Pro, the latest addition to the Huawei family. The rear body is in fact made with a special treatment that allows you to have incredible and changing reflections ranging from purple to aquamarine green, but not only: another version is also available. In addition to the Twilight version, there is also a carbon fibre version (Carbon Fiber). The fingerprint sensor is placed sideways, a position that Sony has used extensively for years before embracing the new Omni Balance design with its Sony Xperia XZ2 and Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. The display placed in the front is 5.9″ and is enclosed in a more than compact, with more than 90% display-to-body ratio.

SOFTWARE

Both the newborns of UMIDIGI mount on board Android Stock, from which they also take their name, similar to Android One, Google’s initiative to bring the software of the green robot in its purest version to all users. On board there is Android 8.1 Oreo, so the latest software release available, in a version without special customizations by the company so that the interface is light and performing.

WIRELESS RECHARGE and FAST CHARGE

Nothing has been left to chance for the UMIDIGI flagship, not even from the point of view of charging: we have in fact the support for the 18W quick charge via cable and wall adapter that allows you to fully charge the device in about 70 minutes, or we can use the quick charge. Thanks to UMIDIGI Q1, the stand-alone accessory for quick wireless charging, we can fully charge UMIDIGI One Pro in about 100 minutes without the need for a cable: a real godsend for those who hate to have too many cables on their desk, while still leaving room for an object like UMIDIGI Q1 that has an elegant design that matches any decor. It’s a shame that the older brother has a smaller battery: with its 3250 mAh we can still close a day, but the wireless charging has been at the expense of the greater autonomy of the One, which with its 3550 mAh can lead to the evening even if used during a busy day.

SIM and LTE BAND Support

Unlike many Chinese smartphones, which support few bands, these UMIDIGI smartphones, together with the top of the range UMIDIGI Z2 PRO amaze for the support of 36 phone bands, which allows him to be used conveniently around the world, especially here in Italy where the bands used are the 3, 7 and 20, the last often used by operators such as Wind/3 and Iliad. There is also support for the dual 4G VoLTE, the technology that allows you to use the data connection of your smartphone even when you are on call, and is active on both SIM so you don’t have to worry about constantly switching the data connection between one SIM and the other.
