UMi are giving out results of a battery test that they have recently performed on the UMi Touch and the results seems pretty good.
Before we even begin, these results should be taken with a pinch of salt as the tests were carried out by UMi themselves, but hopefully they give an accurate indication of what the UMi Touch’s battery if is like.
According to UMi the UMi Touch will have a 4000mAh battery, which is on par with the battery size found in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and through the companies own testing the battery managed to drop just %55 in 5 hours of heavy use and 10 hours of standby.

The test was split in to the following:
- 30min web browsing = 4%
- 30min video streaming = 5%
- 1 hours music = 8%
- 1 hour gaming = 10%
- 30 min reading = 4%
- 1 hour video call = 3%
- 30 min photos and video = 10%
- 30 min cell calls = 8%
- 10 hours standby = 3%
By UMi’s own admission some of the results aren’t as good as they hoped, but still with these results a user should be able to expect at least 2 days of continued use from the UMi Touch on a single charge.
What do you make of these results?
Does it still have that crapware Cooe Launcher or whatever it is? That’s my biggest issue with the only Umi phone I bought (not for me).
Who cares? Just install Nova Launcher. The important thing is that the entire OS is a pure Android, not some crap garage distribution.
The base launcher still overrides Nova Launcher and send crap notifications and adds crapware shortcuts everywhere, so no. The only way to get rid of it would be to root and remove the launcher itself. This is the the C1, so I have no idea if this crap still happens in the newer phones.
Well if I’m going to buy this phone, I’ll root it on day one so no problem. What you’ll lose when we don’t have warranty anyway. Ok I know usually 1 year limited warranty depending of the store.
4000 mA battery can only play five hours of video, which is not a good performance.
Read article carefully and ignore stupid comments. It says 30 min. video streaming eats 5% battery, it means it can stream 10 hours of video!
Stop bashing each other dudes, clearly said don’t expect a miracle from Umi Touch or any other phone with the same battery capacity: you’ll get around 5-6 screen on time on average, that’s it.
Ok, I noticed that, I just replied to you, but was talking to all. 😀
1 hour video call = 3%
30 min photos and video = 10%
30min video streaming = 5%
Aha, you’re right, but you ignore the 30-minute video call has only 3% of the electricity consumption, and a 30-minute video, pictures and even consume 10%, which is the logic? It tests your IQ.
Also, the battery will not always follow a loss of speed, lower power loss faster is not always the average.
Read again: 5 hours of video and 10 of standby with 55% of battery left… It’s not bad, but it’s THEIR test, so it can be a fake (and usually is)
30 minutes of video calling has only 3% of the electricity consumption, and a 30-minute video, pictures and even consume 10%, which is the logic?
