Umi Rome x latest budget smartphone just dropped to $59.99 on Banggood also If you sign up for their newsletter there is a $5 discount coupon on a $50 spend bringing it down to $54.99 making it the cheapest place currently to buy this and from a reputable seller. I have been watching this for a while now so I decided to take the plunge! Obviously it is shipped from China and you will save money if you purchase in US dollars then use your card to convert to £ sterling.

I got the umi Rome for some friends the normal not the x. The screen on that is 720p also but has 3gb ram and 16gb storage. I think the 8gb of storage is too little also the normal has 4g. The problem is they look identical so some people may confuse the 2. Any question iam more than happy answering

Good price but not sure about spec being up to it with regards to battery ,resolution for a 5.5". But quality finish. I brought the UMI iron via Amazon a month ago and keep telling everyone I meet if we are having a conversation about phones that if they have Apple shares(quality product and OS but over priced)they should be off loading them asap as these Chinese made phones are quality build at affordable prices and if your like me and like new things :smile: you don't mind spending the monies and changing rather too often :smile:

The 'proper' Rome has the new MediaTek MTK6580 which is the one you call normal I believe. There is much discussion whether this has an IPS screen or AMOLED. Do you have any idea which? Also, I read no OTG support, can you confirm this too please?

How's the battery life?

Currently own the Doogee x5 which sports the same mediatek soc and ram configuration and I can tell you it never stutters! So don't believe the hype about octacore cpu's and huge amounts of ram that you think is necessary imho we have surpassed the need for more power on these devices as let's face it android apps run on a shoestring. Only thing to watch out for is this is not a 4g device and the battery is rated at 2500mah which is below the recommended standard for a 5.5" phone of 3000mah.
