Months after first seeing the UMi flagship phone in spy photos the octacore UMi X3 finally goes on sale in China for just 1399 Yuan.
UMi have beaten JiaYu to the punch this year by launching their octacore UMi X3 ahead of the ultra slim JiaYu S2. The UMi X3 boasts a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display from LG, 1.7Ghz Mediatek MT6592 octacore processor, 2GB RAm and options for either 16GB or 32GB of internal memory. UMi have also managed to keep the thickness of the UMi X3 down to only 7.6mm while retaining a hearty 3150mAh battery!

I’m from Panamá and i want to buy this phone but I’m not sure cause it doesn’t show wcdma 850/1900 I’m i need at least one of those frecuencies 🙁 Im sad 🙁
So… is it dual sim or not???
Both 3G and 4G versions are reported to be 双卡双待 dual SIM dual standby.
I have stopped bothering myself with the Umi X2 since I realized that its not shipping with the 2.0GHz octacore MT6592 anymore.
it’s x3.
Looks great, is the battery removable? Does it have a microSD card slot?
the battery is not removable. also microsd card slot appears when you release the sim tray
Is there any (chinese) reviews about this phone? (I can’t find them yet on the Internet)
I would really like to know how the quality is of the pictures of the camera (front and back).
i have found in youtube one unpacking video from antelife channel…
In the spec sheet you also can find the X3LTE with dual SIM, 2.0GHz MTK6895 (with PowerVR Gen 6 graphics), FDD+TD-LTE and 3500~3650 mAh battery! Superb, but I can’t find any release date!
Forgive the ignorance, but what band am I in need of for this phone to work here in the U.S.? I was going to purchase this model off of Geekbuying as it said 3g, but only 2100Mhz.
Has this phone any unique/special features?
It seems to me their selling point is LG screen, large battery and the thinness (though the length and width of this phone is quite large). Also, I am seeing 2 speaker grills, so is there 2 speakers or microphones? Any noice canceling technology (chip) or special sound chip? Any special camera features?
It is nice to have a 8MP front camera, but the amount of MP does not say much about the quality. Hopefully, more reviews about this phone will be released very soon.
Seems like it’s already available on geekbuying, is it true?

And in the specs, it’s seems less thick than in the article, which one is the right specs?
Thank you in advance, love gizchina 🙂

Oh yes I’m serious unfortunately
I have read the same problems regarding weak WIFI and GPS in the UMI X2. Just wait for the reviews to come out for the Umi X3 before buying it.
I agree, I still have never found the display to spare
