UMi Zero Video Review
The UMi Zero runs a 2.0ghz MT6592T processor and has no LTE, but with features such as an all alloy body, Super AMOLED 1080p display, 13 mega-pixel F1.8 rear camera and fast charging, at has become a must have phone for many Chinese smartphone fans.

But the review is from testing version. The prototype does not have the same camera as the final version. the testing phones have a camera with 2.2f , but the final version has 1.8f aperture.
With the 64 socs, no one cares about this buggy rom phone. Old soc, crappy battery life, the camera is disappointing for a Sony IMX 214, and the rom is buggy, wi-fi signal is poor, no LTE. Only the built quality is good. Mtk, 6732 is faster than 6592, waaaaay better GPU, LTE support, and way better battery consumption, and it’s only quad-core. So, NO, for the UMI Zero, if they sell it at 100$ they will make some money.
You’re being a little harsh, I also don’t consider Umi Zero a good deal, not for the specs, but for the money, We will have better specs very soon, and phones with much more power, even the Mali-450MP4 being a good GPU, theres no comparation with the Mali-T760 on 64Bit, the same GPU of Exynos Note 4. If the phone cost 150~180 would be a awesome deal, anyway you can justify the price in the Amoled Panel. Anyway if the phone come with LTE, could be less outdated, if we look to the future, when the 4G become global.
they could stuff a 6752 there and sell it for 250$ easily. or 6595 and sell for 270$ like hot cakes. i would buy in a heartbeat.
Perhaps a little harsh when comparing with other China brand phones. But for £125 (152 euro) I bought mine for it’s good value. Your right the soc, battery are below par but nothing bad in comparison to other Chinese phones. And the ROM does seem a little buggy (mine getting some random reboots for no apparent reason).
Lack of LTE – not worried at all – most of the time my phone is on WiFi and LTE contracts are very expensive – if I could afford a 4G contract I wouldn’t be buying a cheap phone.
But the build quality and screen are top notch – and personally the screen being good out ways the above. The screen is very important on a smartphone lets face it.
Just need a bumper case around the edges as this phone is very slippy!
