Chinese
phone maker
UMi are ready to
launch the next
phone and
first phablet. We have UMi Cross official
renders,
specifications, pricing and
launch details here!
Our sources have managed to get the official
details for the
UMi Cross ahead of the
launch! The UMi Cross will be UMi’s
first phablet device and second ever
1080 display handset, but rather than being just a larger version of the UMi X2, the Cross gets some very nice updates!
After seeing the
leaked photos of the
UMi Cross’s battery some days ago we know the new
phone would be a huge device and the specs confirm it. The display is a 6.44-inch OGS panel with a resolution of 1920 x
1080 and a pixel density of 342PPI.
With such a large display
UMi have shaved the bezels down to just 3.5mm to aid one-handed operation. The rest of the front is taken up with back lit navigation buttons, light sensors, and an 8 mega-pixel front camera.
Turning the
UMi Cross over and we are greeted with a simple ‘Cross’ logo, and single LED flash. The highlight though is the
rear camera which is a 13 mega-pixel Sony Exmor RS item with an F2.0 Aperture!
Under the removable rear panel the Cross hides a large 4150mAh battery! According to
UMi the cross has a standby time of 350hours! Removing the rear also give you access to the dual sim slots and micro SD card reader which will accept up to 64GB cards.
The internal hardware is similar to the top of the range
UMi X2 meaning it is powered by a 1.5-ghz
MT6589T processor, 2GB RAM, a PowerVR SGX544 GPU, and has 32GB of built-in memory. However there is also an
NFC Chip, HIFI stereo amplifier, MHL support, OTG, and Bluetooth 4.0.
UMi Cross pricing and launch date Update: We have been asked to remove the details about pricing and launch dates. Sorry guys! Keep posted for more exclusive Chinese
phone news!
