After the initial success with UMI Touch sales many people were expecting an announcement of some upgraded Pro version. Instead we got watered down UMI Touch X model with the lower price price tag.
But even that lower version is pretty good all things considered, because UMI has kept more or less the same design with full metal body made of aluminum alloy. Also the body being only 8.5mm thick is very reasonable while using hefty 4000 mAh battery capacity. UMI Touch X in available in presale offers for 119.99$.
Gizchina News of the week
So what’s coming next from UMI? Are we going to get some higher version of the Touch model? According to the latest information is UMI already working on a successor in form of UMI Touch 2 and the phone should be packing the powerful Helio X25, while keeping the affordable 179.99$ price tag. It’s not official info yet though so we have to wait for confirmation from the official sources.
will be hard to convince me this year after the le 2 pro and the zuk 2 pro for anything else…except for maybe a meizu mx6 but i’ll see…

lol well i dont get “news” per say i just look at devicespecifications.com everyday and then scroll to the bottom to the latest devices, then i click the link on the page on the company to see the year of the phone, sometimes they have sources to the information if its “cool” enough
Jiayu was going to visit their Jiayu.de partner to discuss about a Helio X20 and two midrange models this week. They still are slow lol
At least development goes further, My S3 is running a early Alpha of CM13 =)
oh dear oh dear … wat the hell is going on ?!
Many phone makers have realised they missed the boat so to speak, being tempted by low price over stocked older Mediatek SoC.
