UMi release full specifications of the UMi Fair, say it will “Kill” the Xiaomi Redmi

UMi have released full specifications of their new low-cost UMi Fair model, the phone which they believe will bring the Redmi line to its knees.

Full specifications of the UMi Fair have been formally announced and they look good if the price is in fact fair once it launches. Rumours are the phone will go on sale for as little as $99, but is that enough money for a decent entry-level phone? Read the specs below and let us know what you think.

Official UMi Fair specifications include a 5-inch HD display, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, Mediatek MT6735 chipset, 2 mega-pixel front camera, 8 mega-pixel Sony rear camera, 2250Ah battery, fingerprint scanner and all alloy CNC machined chassis.

The specs look about right for an entry-level phone with the highlights being the alloy chassis and fingerprint scanner. I suppose what it really comes down to is how well made the UMi Fair will be and how well optimised the Android OS is once released.
