The UMi Hammer is on sale right now, but we have been lucky enough to have a sample on test for a few weeks. Keep reading for our hands on UMi Hammer review.
UMi are taking a different approach to the Android phone market. While some companies are happy to launch device after device, UMi have been slow and steady. After the release of the UMi Zero, the team behind the brand have worked on building a community, forums, alternate ROMS and even a one click flash tool called Rootjoy. Now that the pieces are in place new phones are coming!
UMi Hammer Review: First Impressions
UMi Hammer Review: Design
The design of the UMi Hammer might appear to be similar to a few other devices on the market. It looks just like the Doogee Ibizia F2, which in turn looks like the Vivo Xshot. It’s interesting that UMi and Doogee have gone for the Xshot look, it’s a nice looking phone, a good size and only those of us in the know will realise it’s a clone of the Vivo camera phone.
UMi promise the UMi Hammer to he durable, hard-hitting phone suitable for active people enjoying live. An strong alloy chassis forms the foundation of the device, while a “double glass” screens with Corning Gorilla Glass protection keep the display safe.
To be honest I was a little sceptical about UMi’s claims of the Hammer being a durable phone. Even after watching a few video’s testing the strength I wasn’t convinced, it all looked a little staged. The only wat to be sure was test for myself, I wasn’t disappointed!
UMi Hammer Smash Test
As you can see in the video the phone isn’t indestructible, but it will take a hell of a lot of abuse and still remain functioning. Even after all that all our test model needs is a new front panel and it will be as good as new (well except the dings and scratches).
Looking around the phone there is nothing really to indicate that this is a tougher than average device. There are no rubber bumpers, there are is no bulky protection, just a good strong chassis with tough glass and simple plastic rear.
A few of you have asked if the Hammer is waterproof. UMi don’t claim it is, and I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think it will be. The plugs are standard phone plugs with no seals and the rear panel is removable to access the battery, dual SIM and SD card slot. So don’t buy this for water skiing, choose it for sky diving instead.
Last few details. No the Hammer does not have back-lit navigation buttons, but it does have a very bright LED notification light.
UMi Hammer Review: Specifications
The UMi Hammer costs $139.99 to international buyers which put’s it up against the current crop of 64bit LTE phones running Mediatek processors. Thankfully UMi have kept their specification in check and kept the hardware on par with competing models.
A 5-inch HD 1280 x 720 display is more than acceptable at this cost, there is a quad-core 64bit MT6732 chipset under the hood, 2GB RAM, 16GB memory, 2250mAh battery, 13 mega-pixel main camera, 3.2 mega-pixel front, and dual LED rear flash.
The MT6732 means that once Lollipop comes along we should see better performance from the Hammer, it also means 4G LTE support is native to the phone (a first for UMi). The Hammer actually supports the following networks GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/1900/2100, FDD 800/1800/2600.
The alloy, glass and plastic phone isn’t as thin as some with overall dimensions of 144 x 71.6 x 7.9mm, and at a weight of 170g it is hardly light, but this is all the extra material add for a strong, impact ready body.
UMi Hammer Review: Performance
The UMi Hammer has a 64bit Mediatek MT6732 quad-core chipset and 2GB RAM. Performance is good on this set up in other phones for the money, but not as high as the octacore MT6752 which is seen in slightly more expensive devices.
Benchmarks are about right for a phone of this calibre. They don’t really get our heart beating, but for the money they offer solid performance, and most importantly solid real world performance.
Currently the Hammer has Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box which isn’t really optimised for a 64bit chipset. Hopefully UMi’s development team are working on an Android 5.0 Lollipop update which should eke out a little more performance, and bring with it all those lovely Lollipop transitions and animations.

UMi Hammer Review: Network performance and connectivity
The Hammer comes with all the mod cons i.e FDD LTE, WIFI 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. Using a Vodafone 4G SIM while in Europe the Hammer performed well. LTE connectivity was a good as our MX4 (only switching to 3G when LTE was weak) and call performance is good, although the receiver speaker is nothing to right home about.
Our test version of the phone did seem to have weaker than average WIFI. It showed fewer WIFI bars than other devices at the same distance and seems to drop WIFI a little easier. This could be due to the alloy chassis of the phone, or the early pre-production nature of the phone, but it is something to be aware of.
Bluetooth is there and useable when you need it and GPS lock on speeds are as fast as other MT6732 phones we have tested this year. The initial lock on was around 25 seconds, but after that first lock connection was much quicker, around 2-3 seconds (I was fortunate enough to have nothing but blue skies during the test which probably helped).
UMi Hammer Review – Camera
The main camera of the UMi Hammer is a claimed 13 mega-pixel sensor. We have seen other companies make similar claims and simply interpolate the value from 8 mega-pixel to 13 mega-pixel. What ever UMi have going on though it does not really matter though as camera performance isn’t the phones strong point.
Images tend to look very pale in comparison to your actual subject making photos look dreary and uninteresting. Playing with the manual settings offers a better image, but as most of us simply want to point and shoot, UMi really should optimise the automatic mode for better performance.
As mentioned above, the weather during our review time was bright and blue, but you wouldn’t think this from the images captured. As you can see from the rear of the phone, there is a bright dual LED flash on the rear, it isn’t the brightest we have used, but not bad for a budge phone.

UMi Hammer Review – Battery
The battery in my sample was a 1600mAh (according to the sticker) not the 2250mAh battery that the specifications on the UMi website claim. The battery in my phone just looks like a generic battery that has been used just for test purpose.
With a quad-core processor, and HD 720p display the device isn’t as power hungry as some phones on the market, but with only 1600mAh in my sample the the hardware is more than enough to run the phone down easily in a day.
Just sitting on my cupboard with WIFI connected (after my smash test) the battery finally went flat in 3 days. So with the 2250mAh you could be looking at the full 3-4 days of standby with a SIM UMi claim on the official specifications page.
For my normal day to day use I can get from first thing in the morning to the end of a work day (7pm ish) on a single charge. As you may know I am pretty camera heavy, have a couple of email accounts on push and am very lazy i.e leave WIFI and GPS on constantly. I feel that the correct battery should get a light user through the day but heavy or power users will want to carry a spare battery, powerbank or charger.
UMi Hammer Review: Android OS
Stock Android 4.4 Kitkat is what the UMi Hammer ships with. There are no custom icons or added UI, just stock Android how Google intended. UMi have added a few features for air gesture, screen gestures etc but that’s about it.
While it is great to see another stock Android experience it would have been better if Lollipop came out of the box. Fingers crossed for an Android 5.0 update soon.
UMi Hammer Review: Conclusion
Costing $139.99 (or there abouts) the UMi Hammer is one of the cheaper phones with alloy chassis, LED notification, and LTE. It also benefits from a quad-core 64bit processor, 2GB RAM, dual LED flash and a good-looking design.
With the strong, durable design, the UMi Hammer is a nice package that you don’t need to worry about dropping a few times. LTE means you can enjoy fast data, and the quad-core processor and 2GB RAM is enough for casual gaming and keeping social apps running.
A longer battery life would have been nice, but perhaps that what we will get with the official 2250mAh battery, and perhaps Lollipop (if it is on the way) will also help to boost battery life too?
If a solid phone, LED notification, good performance and good looks are what is important to you then give the UMi Hammer a look.
Great review, so far is the best budget phone out there, but I’m not sure if MT6732 will sell well.
A good MT6732 costs ~140USD while a good MT6752 cost ~200USD.
Prices are too close in my opinion.
People are more likely to find an extra 50$
And get bigger battery, bigger display, better resolution. At least this is what I would do
Absolutely agreed. In my opinion, this Hammer is the most relevant option with MT6732 until now, also maintaining a good price without many sacrifices and way resistant on a good price.
2250 mah battery will be more than enough with this SoC and HD resolution. This phone has his real plus into offering heavy resistence (which is not common with this nice design) paired with good performances (you have to go for ugly and underpowered rugged phones otherwise, who wants to buy one of those?). The perfect workhorse for me 😀
MT6732 is in a real life usage around 12% slower than MT6752 GPU is around 33% slower thanks to smaller clock rate. You won’t notice any difference in real life usage. 30% difference in price is actually not so small. If you want to play games 720p display is about what MALI T760 MP2 really can handle & on a 5″ it’s close enough to 300 PPI what’s still considered as a good photography quality. People are ducks that fell to marketing and larger numbers.
In fact I didn’t mention CPU, nor GPU.
The MT6732 is as good as the MT6752.
Chinese manufacturers that opt for MT6732 usually comes with small batteries, smaller displays and lower resolution.
I really don’t mind of big screens,5″ works well for me, I can also deal with 720p, it saves on battery.
My biggest turn off is battery and 3000 mAh is getting too small for my needs.
MT6732 phones always come with small batteries (below 2500mAh)
And for this reason I would put few extra bucks and get the big brother that sometimes comes with up to 5k mAh.
Now people will say that this SoC is gentle with batteries but this is not the point, battery is never enough. If a 2.5k man lasts a full day why should I give up on a 5k mAh that might last 2 full days?
It’s not about people but proven tests based on Exunos SoC’s with similar hardware (same A52’s & same MALI all do MP6), never the less power consumption curve is the same.
Holy hell,It seems like I’m talking to my wife.
Is that you Jess?
Not gonna lie that interaction made me laugh out loud.
No Terens Hill hire honey.
We will talk about this when you get home & no dinner among other things for you.
😀
This just went from hilarious to very awkward….
Not thrilled with capacity either but it’s at least litium-polymer & they do hold litle better. I am however thrilled with blue light tempered glas especially at this price point as it protects, helps with sun light & blue light LED emissions.
In my very first comment I said that so far is the best budget phone out there.
My concern was if the price between MT6752 and MT6732 were too close to each other.
But I have to agree with you that 30% is not too small.
It’s actually more up to 50% that is if you compare cheapest available options 100$ MT6732 vs 150$ MT6752.
Best regards!
again , camera is a bummer…
plz chinese bros , LEARN SOME LENS PHYSICS !
you again >:(
glad to see you too , random citizen !
There are enough chinese phones with decent cameras. What do you exspect from a 140$ price tag? You keep posting the same bullsh** over and over again. I really understand people getting annoyed…
I can’t speak for Muhammad but I know of some sub $150 phones with very good cameras. Why should anybody settle for “decent” when they are spending their hard earned money? For example the Redmi 2 is a phone that sells for $140 ($130 officially), it has a very good camera. I compare the camera on that to any other $140 phone. Muhammad wants the best specs he can get for his budget, nothing wrong with that.
That last line is the emphasis !
You can never go wrong witha XIaomi device, he can even get the Redmi 2A which has the same camera, but is 10-15$ cheaper, due to the 32bit chipset, but don`t be alarmed the Leadcore SoC is just as good if not better than the S410.
no one FORCES you to read it , now do they?
many other people post even worse crap and we avoid all that crap by simply , NOT LOOKING at it….
you should try that sometime..
Dude, the phone costs 130$, for that build quality and those specs, you can live with an average camera. The Samsung A3’s camera is not worlds apart and the phone costs 250 Euros and it has a basic S410 SoC that`s meant for budget devices, yet Samsung thinks it can get away with a premium price phone with a low-end SoC.
Samsung and a bunch of other few are total c*nts ! we all know they just rip you off … BUT , chinese phones avoid QC and other several procedures these companies spend cash to test their products…
so at least offer us a great camera in that range… no ?
Because a great camera costs money, they have to win money on something. A good 720p display and 2GB of ram and 16GB of space, a really rugged build and powerful GPU in expense of the camera, which is not shit and it is usable, with no carrier contracts applying and all that for 129,99USD.
You can`t seriously expect a lower price point or a much better camera with those specs.
but.. but… even a $200 Iocean is CWAP in low-light photography , waddya have to say about that ?
its $200 not $130
did u read what i just said ?
Some companies think their devices and brand costs more, so they cheat you to pay for it. You have youtube, watch reviews and read the feedback and you`ll find devices that aren’t, but you must understand there is never a jack of all trades in the tech department. Nothing can do everything better or the same as the competition that cost twice as much or thrice as much. As long as you know what you want a device for, you may make some sacrifices in areas that you don`t probe as much, compared to others that you are engaged in, and therefore pick up a cost-effective device that has all you need at a better price.
Thanks man , this’ll help in choosing the next phone…
Why can’t he? The Redmi 2 offers everything you mentioned as well as a great camera and can be found for as little as $135.
Can you show me where I can buy a 2GB Redmi 2 for as little as ä$135?
Aliexpress has it as low as $128, I have had bad luck with them, others love them. Xiaomiworld has it for $139.
I wouldn’t call the weak S410 chipset as something that wasn’t selected to cut costs, and also 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. The camera on the Redmi 2 is very good I have to admit, a friend of mine has it, but I got a Huawei G620S(aka 4 play in Asia) for 99$ brand new, which offers exactly the same specs and the camera is also good.
My whole point was that there are sub $150 phone that offer good performance and great cameras. You should never settle and say “at this price range I can’t expect everything”. They might never match the performance/cameras of a flagship model but for most people they are more than enough.
Xiaomi even offer a Redmi 2 with 2GB of RAM, but it costs 170$ after re-sellers, although if the price went down to 150 it could actually be the ideal device, unless you are willing to experiment with Ulefone, Elephone, MLAIS and all the rest MT6732-52 phones that cost around that amount. They offer performance, but you might be getting a raw deal there.
I have seen the 2GB model listed for as low as $140 at various times, you just have to wait for the random sales resellers have.
photos doesnt look the worst… in my opinion…looks quite good

Is it really just 7.9mm thin? It looks much thicker than that, more like 9 to 10
A lot of the times the companies will measure a phone at it’s thinnest point and claim it to be that thickness. Completely ignoring any thicker point in the phone.
Nice review! And at that price, the device is interesting (not only aiming for niche users).
BTW, Andi, are you in Spain? I envy you, man! 😉
photos doesnt look the worst… in my opinion…looks quite good

I haven’t liked many UMI designs for instance the Zero to me looks like a hideous clone of the Gionee 5.5. But I love the looks of this phone, kind of reminds me of a Vivo device.
Thanks UMI Hammer. Now I’ve seen Andi fully lol. He had so much smashing the phone. Years ago, this would be toddlers’ thing but see how grown Andi is having fun doing it
You have never smashed an electronic device before? It can be a great way to relieve some stress, like the stress of having to test the Doogee Iron Bone!
Definitely have done that but not had the pleasure of a fresh new device out of the box. I doubt many people have done that. The phone isn’t really in the hands of customers yet. That should add some extra feeling of fun to the ‘smash-an-electronic device’ experience lol
After owning a Doogee for 5 months I can say without a shadow of doubt that if someone gave me another Doogee I would smash it before it even left their hands.
Lmao! Buyer alert for me. Stay clear of Doogee. For the sake of the person’s hands, wait before u smash it lol

Thanks for the review Andy
Dayum an average camera and i already ordered it to give away my g4s to my girlfriend 🙁 at least this one doenst have a crappy gps.. and gonna do my own smash test as soon as the jiayu s4 wil be availalble!
About the octa core quad core discussion the quad core solution seemed better in the previous generation mediatek phones (consumption, gps receiving,..) so i assume this quad core might have it’s advantages over an octacore again.

Thanks for the late review, I’ve already ordered it -_-. It was more important to show design and smash test than GPS and WIFI quality… I should’ve gone for Elephone P6000.

Not to nitpick but it should say write instead of right 🙂 :although the receiver speaker is nothing to right home about.”

About the battery I am disapointed.
same here… got it two days. bad battery, bad camera, bad wifi reception and bad ear spealer makes this phone a true deception after giving my g4s to my girlfriend.. bought me a zte nubia z5s mini for 120 dollar on pandawill instead! Bad review you should warn people!
the phone is heating, on 4g the battery drains very very fast!. At 44% battery remaining, after 9h and 2m with 4g off, the cell standby took 40%, phone idle 34%, the screen 10%(1h 22mm), android system 8%, voice calls 4% (47min). The camera is ok only on very good lightning conditions
Thanks for reply, im think in order but i guess im stay with my coolpad F1

this happens when you take a phone consider it’s specifications and are you are not waiting to check what phones forums says.

any comments about music quality -especially with earphone?
I’m just listening – sound with earphones is fine! Probably slightly better than on my former Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
I wouldn’t say that. I find the sound a bit muddy – not as good as my old Galaxy S3 with SiyahKernel or my former phone, a sony experia. Not horrible, but not as good as I wish it were. Using AKG K518 and Poweramp.

Umi lied about the battery size [it’s not 2250mAh but 1750mAh]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9lGoF2uU80

Power button and -volume won’t work, also not power and home button. There’s nothing in the power button menu, too.
Help would be awesome.
Thanks

I bought this phone a month ago. Looks good, but that’s all. Sound quality is 2 out of 5. GPS is is 2.5 out of 5. Bluetooth connection is random, Camera is 3 out of 5. Battery is too bad to mention. Shame.. or maybe I was expecting a bit too much for this price tag… I have to say I also “upgraded” to lollipop, so i’m not sure if this is bug free… Anyway i’m selling this one as quick as I can. Sorry UMI.
Dear friends – please HELP !!
Bought a UMI Hammer six weeks ago through Banggood – I’m all in all very satisfied – had the 1750 battery problem but UMI sent 2250 replacement.
The problem is that I cannot connect to the Internet through data connection – Wifi works perfect. Only Whatsap works through data – but browsers and other application have no connection.
Any ideas or suggestions ?
