Ticks all the boxes, only negative is perhaps its only 16gb memory, but you can add an micro sd card. Better spec than a Xiaomi 4A for a similar price. If you prefer to spend more then its on to the Note 4.

Advantages over the Xiaomi 4A - it has dual band wifi, 5.5" instead of 5", bigger battery, metal back, fingerprint reader, more memory, type C charger socket, faster processor.

Waterproof? Will it work over 4g network? I see a lot of these phones posted and apparently OTA updates are a thing - can this do that? Does it have whatever 'band 20' is?

Not waterproof, but nor are pretty much any other phones. Yes, will work with all UK 4g networks, it has band 20)800mhz). There are certainly updates, believe the phone is on android 7, not sure what will be on the phone when you receive it. community.umidigi.com/for…tml

Definitely an improvement on Redmi 4A, better build material, better battery life, screen resolution etc.

Is android 7 available for it then? It says comes with 6.0
Although better than the Redmi 4A but worse because Mediatek

Redmi 4A has gyro and possibly compass? Have to check my mums unit? Also contrast on that screen 1000:1 ie very good.

Don't trust Gearbest. No delivery and no refund. Response was a polite "get lost".

Ive had this phone for a year now. (golden colour) Paid £124. Id definitely buy again for £85! Wireless update to android 7. Nice build materials. Feels premium. Good battery. Great sound via headphones, not so good via single speaker. Ear speaker has to be directly over ear to hear. Camera ok for price. Takes 128g sd card no problem. Only issue is screen scratched from plastic lip balm in pocket. Image is crisp and bright. I don't use it intensively but if you have a question I can try to answer. I recommend. I purchased from geek buying with no import tax. Have used gearbest a few times, never a problem or tax from China. Only thing with Umi is they bring out a new phone every few months. I doubt there will be further updates for this model.
