I own one for almost two weeks.
It's good and bad at the same time.
Good points
- battery life (especially on standby mode)
- option to choose on screen or capacitive touch buttons
- dual sim (Sim+Sim or Sim+Memory card only)
- fingerprint scanner
- shape and look of the phone - feels and looks like premium device
- no overheating - compared to Snapdragon 810 it feels like beer taken form the fridge vs. red hot bbq briquette
- "Harlequin" LED
- Phone call recorders fully works. For example ARC records speaker + microphone.
-
Unfortunately there is a few major bad points which disqualifies this device as daily runner.
In my opinion as experienced user UMI Super is currently in beta stage. Should be sold only to developers/beta testers.
- 4G doesn't work (some people says it does). Possibly something to do with frequencies used in UK.
- poor GPS signal
- network signal shown is a lot out of reality in poor coverage areas. Shows 50-75% but you going to be lucky if can make telephone call or access internet
- photos taken are pretty bad quality. 3rd party camera apps doesn't work properly (dark photos)
- recorded videos are choppy
- light sensor reacting only to direct light. Light source need to be 90 degree angle. If light source is on smaller angle to the screen UMI Super reads wrong lighting levels (lower than real). This results as having to bright or to dark illumination.
All of the problems have been reported on UMI forum by many users. They seems to be working on software update (they pretty fast with this) as most of them seems to be software issues.
The only one that seems to be hardware related is the light sensor.
My advice is - don't buy it (yet) if you don't want to do full factory resets, flashing new ROM every few weeks and not to be Beta tester.
Excuse my poor language skills but I'm one of those worried about what's going to happen after Brexit
I've ordered the same phone but via a chinese online store rather than AliExpress (don't quite trust it).
The spec looks great for the price (I'm paying a bit more than this) and I'm looking forward to getting it too!

I have ordered 2 other phones through AliEpress & have had no problems & got through customs :wink:
DealHome have been on AliEpress since 04 Nov 2013 and their feedback page is HERE
Looking forward to get my mitts on this phone, hopefully in 2 weeks or less :smiley:

Can you share where you ordered the phone from please? I'd really like to hear your experience with the seller once the unit arrives and if possible, how easy it is to set up in the UK. Thanks and also to OP for the find.

I don't think you can go wrong with Deal Home, they are an authorized retailer for most of the quality Chinese phone manufacturers.

Great specs for the price. Voted hot.
Missing NFC is a bummer.

It is a bummer, I'm wondering if it is possible in the future to get a watch with nfc, even though your phone dosen't?

I'm trying BangGood for this Chinese purchase. Not used them before but will let you know.
Normally I use GearBest. They aren't quick but when they send the order they actually take a pic of the parcel with your shipping label including order Id and tracking number as proof

Android Wear doesn't make any use of NFC. I have it in my Sony Smartwatch 3

I'd ordered before this thread appeared. Nothing against them except AliExpress itself

Tried going through Quidco (7.5% cashback) but can't seem to find the product when I use AliExpress search?
