UMi revealed yesterday that the eMax Mini would feature an octa-core Snapdragon chipset, but didn’t really tell anything more than that.
The latest teaser from the company talks about some more specifications of the ‘mini’ phone. The teaser reveals that the eMax Mini will have a 5-inch screen with a 1920 x 1080p FHD resolution (so much for ‘mini’ phones!), a 3050mAh battery, an 8 mega-pixel front facing camera and lastly a 13 mega-pixel rear camera.
Yesterday’s teaser pointed at a 64-bit octa-core processor that the phone will have.
The eMax Mini is shaping up to be a decent phone for folks used to smaller phones (not as small as the new Elephone though). A mystery in the form of the SoC still remains unsolved; considering that it’ll be a budget phone (like all other UMi phones), there are chances that the 64-bit octa-core SoC is the Snapdragon 615.
UMi’s also working on the launch of the upcoming Zero 2 smartphone, which will have a Super AMOLED screen among some other goodies. There’s a very clear difference between various smartphone lineups from UMi, such as the Hammer (build), Zero (style, screen), Iron (budget flagship) and of course, eMax (battery).
Will you consider purchasing a 5-inch phone?
The emax wasnt a hit with the mt6752 still Umi builds great phones ( In Build at least) whith original designs – The zero was a disapointment tho’
Yes, but considering most phones in this category now have 6753 and the lack of quality 5″ devices, that one might have pleased people who want 5″ and I’m sure it’s just not me. I agree Zero was a disappointment though.
The name is kind of funny though. eMAX, but mini and that mini is 5″, lol.
Yeah – i noticed that too – max and mini sounds dumb
Also they would have been set if they made a mini version Of IRON that phone is pretty succesful considering the demand it gets at my friends shop and it Also it received a lot of hype opposed to the eMAX
I got the emax and it is really good.Except camera and gps (may be fixed) and LTE .And exeptvof these problems it is really good.Tell me good alternatives .No mlais and ulefone OK.There is maybe only one mlais m7 plus.
there are tons of competition for the emax. maybe not with that same amount of battery, but close.
Umi almost never fixed things – except with the iron which had a bunch of ota’s but that phone was basically flawed from the beginning
The original eMax couldn not have been successful since there are at least another 10 phones with almost identical specifications. You need to offer something more to make a well selling product. Add great camera, durable construction, huge battery, small size, NFC, release SW sources, support multiple LTE bands including 800 and 900 MHz. Do all this and it will be a big success.
So if they don’t forget about LTE 800 MHz, dual sim, SD card, e-compass and there will be no other deal breaker, I’m really interested in their maxi mini.
I don’t know if its true, I haven’t looked it up, but I read earlier that mtk haven’t released a 5.1 version of android for the 6752.
If its true, that would be very disappointing. I don’t consider the 6753 to be an upgrade.
Snapdragon 415 for Sure…..cheapest and powerful enough..
Looks like TCL m3g
