Again… Not last year’s phone but the previous year’s. There’s already a plethora of unsold phones in the market.
GizChina these mediocre phones are not even news worthy. Maybe a JUNK article on the ridiculous phones released in the year.
I’d rather read about these phones than the newest soon to be failed promise from Elephone.
look like a smartphone worth to buy
After they failed to deliver on UMI Rome, now another version to rip off people.
I feel like banning this company from producing phone.
Their after sales service suck full time.
I have a hard time considering a $60 phone a ripoff. Clearly this phone is not aimed at gizchina’s audience but I could see this as being quite a decent low-priced alternative for wives, girlfriends and other relatives who could care less about software updates. I can’t understand your vitriol toward UMI, at least as regards this phone.
UMI is holding my umi hammer S which is till under warranty, I got to notice a line on the screen.
We bought 5 pcs of UMI Rome and it’s something else, the heat from the phone can fry potatoes.
The battery drain fast like hell, the build quality is something else.
UMI after sales is terrible.
How is a an intro video of a phone thats already been released news? This is nothing but spam paid for by UMI.
I like this phoone, where I can purchase? how much?
I have purchased this phone for my wife last year, she like it very much, I would like to buy one more Umi Rome X for my mum.
Wow, I like it, hope I can get one, it’s so cool, how to purchase? How much?
