8-core UMi Cross?
Based on past experience with UMi and the Chinese phone market in general, we believe that an 8-core version of the UMi Cross will also make it’s way to market in the coming months. In fact anyone who is planning to get a Cross might want to hold on for this version as we found the quad-core chipset in the current model struggles to handle certain games.
