Bit late now for Christmas if you use standard shipping, but this seems like a pretty decent spec'd phone for the price! Available in Black / Gold.

Good god. I found the answer. It took literally minutes. I just googled your questions and google gave me the answers. This is amazing! An Xmas miracle! Have you guys opened your heart to lord and savior Google-Christ?

Is AliExpress trustworthy?

I've found them to be on 5 purchases now. Ali hold your money until you have received the item and have a chance to complain if you aren't satisfied This is automatic - you don't need to do anything as it's a standard condition and they'll send you a message spelling it out

Maybe of little relevance but I had the UMI Super for a while and loved it, build quality was spot on, battery lasted for ever, vanilla android. Worst aspect was camera but that was just adequate as opposed to terrible.
So at this price I'd be inclined to give this a try.

Seems like a lot of phone for very little money. Still available for $59.99 on the site with 20-40 days delivery to UK. All the main bands seem present in terms of 4g and yes Aliexpress hold on to your money until the item arrives and you check it works.

from the link given here and on aliexpress, it seems the replacement insurance is mandatory.

Great price, but realistically it will be the end of Jan before you receive it as the phone isn't released yet

You won't receive this until the end of January ( possibly later if the release date slips as is very common for Chinese phones ).
They even state 30 days before they even ship it ! ! ( its unusual for a Chinese seller to be honest about that on pre-orders ).
So don't order it to give as a Christmas present.
I was tempted t order , but i would find it too frustrating waiting 2 months for the phone to arrive.

Bargain at 50 quid for the specs...company seems to be making some pretty decent phones plus this is supposed to be strong and can survive drops from up to 1.5 meters. There is a video demonstrating that too!
zaheer2003 to hunkietechie
8 Dec 16#39
Don't believe all the videos, many of them are fake, even those made by the manufactures themselves. check xda forums.

Good price, but thing with these phones is build quality tends to be very so and so and quality control is flaky so they dont last.

After reading this post my hubby purchased one of these,but hes struggling to transfer music from laptop to it.When connected to laptop,he swipes the screen and clicks on transfer files but then the phone just goes back to home screen.Anyone please help? because can't find any info anywhere how to do it.
neilhaj to debracampbell

Can you not just transfer the music onto a microsd card and then insert that into the phone?

it's android..drag and drop..doesn't get any easier, unless this has some weird modded android on?

Hi when connected to laptop it doesnt show up when we try to sync the phone,normally on left hand side of media player it shows your device thats connected but for this phone it doesnt so you cant drag and drop because theres nothingbto drag and drop it to.Plus we are not the most technical minded.

Initially very nice packaging - phone a little on heavy side but very solid build. Anyone recommend a case for it?

4G does not work, i am with giffgaff. It's a 16gb phone only 11gb available to use. Would android use so much memory for their operating system? It's saying I am only suing 389 mb. A very nice phone for the price, indeed. It updated too.

arrived this morning. 4G on Vodafone works ok. came with charger eu plug

Does it show 4G on the notification. I can o2 4g when i search for network, it connects to the network but it does not change to 4g. When selecting 02 2G it changes to E in the notification. My only disappointment 4G does work when it should.

Which slot have you got the 4G card in - think only slot 1 does 4G? Weird the 2 slots are different sizes

Slot 1, actually tried both slots.

Am on 3 which works fine - not sure which freq O2 4G band works on.....
sshhaabb
6 Jan 17#71
In your notification does it then say 4G ? O2 uses 800 Mhz (Bad 20) the phone seems to support all bands. 4G: LTE FDD: 800 /1800/2100/2600 MHz
kalamata
6 Jan 17#72
it does show 4G on Vodafone slot 1. Every now & then, it switches to 3G and then back to 4G. must be 4G reception where I am.
sshhaabb
6 Jan 17#73
thanks, i am not too worried as i hardly use the phone data.Got it working did a network reset and woops 4G got picked up n now it says 4G. All perfect :smiley:
Is this expired now as price seems to have gone up?

Is your 4g still working? Just upgrading my sim to 3 but it's showing 3G. Did network reset still no luck. Also when trying to find the network manually it only shows 3 3G?

The 4g comes and goes, I think its the network signal.

My hubby had an Umi diamond x but had it from Laptopsdirect because couldn't wait for one from the company on this thread.He got the phone really quick but then never really used it and its been stuck in the drawer(dont know why he had one in the 1st place)Anyway,he had to make a couple of calls this week and each one he made,the recipient put the phone down because they couldn't hear him.He rang me to try it and i couldn't hear him at all.He's had it since Dec 9th.I got in touch with laptopsdirect and they responded saying you need to contact Umi and gave us a phone number,which i know for a fact that your warranty is with the seller, but i rang the number anyway and it turned out to be the completely wrong company being Umidigital instead of UMidigi.So i got back in touch with LDand the latest is,i've got to return it at my own cost which will be £7.25,surely i am not liable for this?Anyway,i certainly wont be dealing with this company again!

Been given a tracking number which can be checked via http://www.postnl.post/ or http://www.17track.net/
It says it usually takes 25-60 days to arrive.
Initially very nice packaging - phone a little on heavy side but very solid build. Anyone recommend a case for it?
Did u get any custom charges?
no headset, and i think i have a problem, tried switching it on nothing happened,connected it to the power and nothing is happening.
I d like a case with a screen protector.
