After posting details of a rumoured retail price for the UMi Zero yesterday, UMi representevies got in touch and gave us the final official pricing details.
$299, is what it will cost for the latest UMi smartphone which is scheduled to go on sale in the coming weeks. The UMi Zero has been a phone that has grabbed the headlines a lot recently thanks to the attention to build, quality, materials and hardware, but with no LTE we wonder if the price is just a little too much?!
Gizchina News of the week
To recap the UMi Zero as a 6.4mm super body, made of an alloy material and featuring a 2400mAh battery build inside and fast charging. The slim device, is powered by a 2.0Ghz ocatcore MT6592T processor with 2GB RAM and has Android 4.4 as standard. There is even a decent 5-inch Super Amoled display with a resolution of 1080p.
With all that said the lack of LTE is enough to put many customers off by itself, but a retail price of $299 could be adding more fuel to the fire.
At $299, will you buy a UMi Zero?

if 64G internal memory, a larger battery and a fast charging mode, yes I would
Fast Charging mode is present
I think that the main reasons for the high price is the screen Super Amoled from Samsung which is a must 🙂
For me the only problem besides the price it’s the sd card as an option to a sim card, In other words if you want to use it as a dual sim, no sd card option
yeah,same as Doogee DG900,2SIM+microSD not possible at the same time 🙁
Personally I am not a fan of Samsung’s Super Amoled screens they look too bright and the colors don’t look natural to me. I would prefer they used one of the LG or Sharp screens and then could have offered the phone for at least $50 less.
At $299 I bought a OnePlus One… so definitely no way to buy, I’m afraid.
If even was the MTK6595 could specify this price, but the 1-year-old and now considerably cheap MTK6592 overclocked to 2.0GHz, there’s no way!
but if you get it at $150? check this coupon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22D9OVxWKVI&list=UUUUJEXO13gZthZRPHBVC0Kg
I hope they kidding :))
299 is a bit much when you compare it to a OPO. Take 50$ off and you have a winner.
300$ is high enough price in order to UMI fell to the ground too loud.
how can they decide price, there are many better option in this price range.
Good luck with that lol
With Zopo and Meizu at 300$ for 6595 and OPO and Mi3 with Snapdragon 801around that price also why would anyone get Umi with an outdated hardware?
Yeah, they kidding.. the phone looks good, but the price 220-250USD max.. See Doogee turbo 2…
What? 299 bucks?
I’ts joke? DG 900 is 230 USD.. Then good luck umi..
God! DG 900 is such a BEAUTIFUL phone btw!
lol, guaranteed price drop after a couple of weeks. wake up umi! trolololol
Lets wait for UMI Zero Turbo/Advance/II/T/X/S/2 with Mtk 64bits/3gb Ram/64gb IntMem… then, would be a killer.
They call it the umi zero because consumers have zero intrest in the phone
Lol! Good one haha
What a coincidence, Nubia Z7 mini is also around this price shipped internationally (not local price like Meizu or restriced to tier 1 country like OPO).
