What UMi call their first ‘user-defined’ phone, the UMi Touch, is now on pre-order.
The phone is among the better looking UMis we’ve come across. However, UMi have been a little dodgy with their software in the past… which is why the company is offering early adopters a little benefit.
If you pre-order the Touch, you’ll get it for $149.99 which is $30 below the retail price of $179.99.
The Touch is seen as a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 rival, with its all-metal body, fingerprint sensor and large battery. Let’s take a look at the full specifications of the phone.

“Hybrid Sim” means what? Thanks
SIM or Micro SD, not both.
The discount code 70$ umitouch2016 from previous post should be still working http://www.tomtop.com/umi-touch-4g-fddlte-mtk6753-octa-core-55-screen-3gb16gb-13mp-camera-full-metal-body-p1392gy-eu.html?aid=mokrejbandita
No it won’t anymore because the cost of the phone at its presale price is below the min value for the coupon now lol
This is not exactly a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 rival. There is a huge difference between the Helio X10 and the MT6753 plus 32GB ROM and 16GB ROM arent exactly equal, are they?
Nope you’re right there, but there’s also a substantial difference in price too!
Although yes, going back on it, it shouldn’t be directly compared to a Redmi Note 3…
Substantial difference in price? Resellers have the Note 3 for as little as $160.
Not the one i’d want 😉 lol
This camera sensor is used for cctv cameras BTW. Will be interesting to see a review of it
i’m actually interested to see how the camera works as well
this thing of the cctv camera is an hoax floating around since the phone has been announced, that one is 238, not 328. 328 is a 13mpx not on sony catalogue, I know for sure it has been an exclusive sensor for huawei until a few months ago, now maybe it’s starting to be disclosed to other producers, if properly implemented we should see something good from the sensor, which is superior to imx214.
The CCTV is a IMX238 not 328.

But if I google for imx 328 there are meny different cctv camera models which use this sensor. Either all those manufacturers are wrong or umi is wrong. Judging by the track record of umi, you can guess who’s right
I just Googled it:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=sony+imx+328
There are links that say IMX 328 in the main link but when you click on the link it’s actually 138.
Are you sure this Umi Touch is a direct competitor with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 ?
Since when Mediatek MT6753 = Mediatek X10 ?
Even pricing also same with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 16GB version.
So i don’t see any benefit to choose Umi Touch compare to Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
Maybe someone can enlighten me ?
Umi touch can never be a substitute to Xiaomi Redmi note 3.
Believe UMI and believe anything.
It’s more like mt6753<mt6795
Comparing this thing with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is Laughable.
How could you compare Elephant and goat.
UMI always have a terrible camera right from day one with buggy ROM like their brother Elephone.
Umi Zero camera wasn’t exactly terrible…
Also Rome and Rome X for their pricetag have pretty decent cameras, compared to elephone and ulefone I found them a step forward.
Can you finally unlock the redmi note 3 bootloader? People didn’t receive their code.
WORST COMPANY EVER
umi zero screen stopped working, battery life sucks, keys don’t work
sent back to fix as it still in warranty
62 days passed since they received the phone and nothing !

after 66 days you told me that i have to pay 80$ for the fix !
i didn’t drop the phone and didn’t do anything wrong
it just stopped working, defective parts
this should be covered by the warranty !
