UMI are clearly very excited with the launch of their UMI C1 smartphone. The phone still hasn’t gone on sale just yet but Chinese sources are already talking about it’s cost.
If the UMi C1 sounds familiar it is because the name happens to also be the same as the UMi Cross phablet which went on sale earlier this year. If the C1 looks familiar, well that’s because it is basically a more affordable version of the UMi X3 octacore phone.
Chinese sources are saying that it has been confirmed the UMi C1 will cost 899 Yuan in the market. What that means for the international market we are not sure, but we do at least know the full specifications of the mid-range UMi phone.
