UMI Zero Review: A whole new mid-range experience

i got one and i dont know what to do with it.

יש לי אחד ואני לא יודע מה לעשות איתו

The performance of the MT6592T seems to be on Par with the MT8392 (1.7GHz). That’s odd because my Cube Talk 9X scores just about same on Antutu. Despite the 2K resolution display on the cube.

Did the phone get heatup

Saw a video review on YouTube and they where using off screen gestures.

To sum it up, its an item to look at, not for real live use. Your SIM card should be in a real phone

Where is now cheapest place to order UMI ZERO ?

Is someone offering in this moment placing order with shipping from Europe (pls only not antelife) ?

I read some problems with the UMi Zero’s SIM recognition and random reboots. Has anyone experienced these?

This phove does not even reaches up the criteria as described. I ordered one UMI zero from Aliexpress to India. Reached within 14 days. But my expectations are shattered. Camera quality is does not even stands up against Gionee E3 which is only 8 Mpxls. Touch too is not that good. You ought to tap on home icon hard or twice to get back on the home screen. The Wifi mac address keeps changing after each reboot or Wifi Off / On. Whicle charging its upper left part becomes owen. Startup is too slow. Coming to super amoled, no good.

I bought a mobile phone on May 20, 2015. I paid 185 euros in Tinydeal.com. It came quickly because the store sent the phone from Spain. The box was somewhat rickety, and the Z-shaped case had a broken side. I claimed and they did not paid attention to what I exposed. They said that everything was shipped in perfect condition.

After 2 months of use there is only one word to describe my assessment about the terminal. DISAPPOINTMENT. I changed my mind from illusion to disappointment because I thought I had bought an excellent phone but in a few months I am infinitely disappointed. Now I see that many of the reviews I read on important websites before buying, were a big lie. They make good publicity to ensure that companies or selling websites can send phones to them. In addition, a review of 10 minutes can not be considered objective. Now I tell them my experience with objective data from 2-6 months of use.

The camera is really bad. At daylight with good illumination takes pictures ok, but at night or using the flash, they are horrible. Even flash shooting is not synchronized with the photo capturing. All pictures are darkened. I do not think that camera is Sony. When you ask to the console dmesg application, it do not show Sony HW. More than one user has also commented on HTCMania. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that the photos are horrible.

They say that Gorilla Glass 3 is mounted on the phone. Gorilla Glass?. No,Cheeta monkey. After two weeks of using, the back side was full of stripes. After one month of using I realized that there was a crack 3 centimeters long in the corner. It did not dropped to the floor, I used the phone, just that. Now, five months later i know that the slit is made because of the battery has been swelling gradually, chopping the rear glass. Moreover, now, I do not have rear glass because it has been taking off. The other day,the phone fell to the ground and despite of having a better cover than the original, the rear glass broke in hundred pieces.

Now, 5 months later I have a phone that needs to be charged it 2-3 times a day. Not to mention that often battery drops really fast, passing from 40% to 5% in just 15 minutes of use. Before the smart people say a word I inform you that I have tried thousand of options to limit consumption and so,so so. That is not the solution because when phone was new I had no battery problems all day.

It is also to be mentioned that phone screen has a bluish background I do not like. The screen should be natural color, not blue.

Big mistake not to put the case cover immediately, because the glass of the rear camera is at cover cristal level, so it gets scratched easily. Big mistake by UMI not to think about it and had left the lens cristal it at a lower level than the rear housing.

The sound is horrible. It’s the worst I’ve heard compared to other phones. It sounds tinny.

In addition i will say that, the headphone connector is not making good connection. It unplugs very easily because it is poorly positioned and also because of the curvature of the housing. It does not help to make a good connection. Let me say that the location at the lower side does not seem right, it would have been better at the top.

The GPS gets dizzy when you stop the car and it starts to recalculating routes. I tested all existing things, from using only the GPS signal, ie, not get help of mobile networks, and even hand-edit features GPS. I still do not trust a much about the improvement. On more than one occasion I’ve spent the freeway exits because the GPS is not updated quickly or sometimes the GPS gets stuck.

The phone restarts when it wants. Although using the last ROM has left periods about 5 or 6 days.

I tell that all this happens despite the official ROM update UMI ZERO, which is supposed to fix things. I did all wipes before flashing. I’m coming by 3.10.

It is true that the phone runs the software fine. 2 GB of RAM and 8 cores are noticeable, but the other things mentioned before get into contrast. One thing is sure, all eight cores are noticed because there are times when the phone is so hot you could fry an egg on. Moreover it happens much more if you use the phone while it is charging. It really burns.

Some metal parts such as the SIM charger are simply painted with paint which immediately jumps just by using the phone or putting it in the pocket. The rest of the chassis is in the same line, it loses the color easily with a simple use or when it gets in contact with other things in your pocket. It scratches easily and it lets out the gray-white beneath it. That is, you’ll have a perfect terminal with Picasian colors soon.

The charger broke down in two months. What it was my surprise when I asked Tinydeal.com for a new one and they say that warranty do not cover tha charger, despite being part of the phone. They say the chargers warranty is only 1 month.

Too much price for a lousy phone.

Summarizing, worst phone i have ever owned. ZERO model is exactly the result it gets, zero.

I will NEVER recommend. I regret infinitely I bought it.
