UMI London shows another drop test video

Karel BalacJuly 18, 2016

We have seen not that long ago a drop test video of the new UMI London featuring some falls from the heights simulating the usual falls from a table and such. But today we have something a bit more extreme and you can check out what would happen if you throw your UMI London our of the window 🙂

In the video we can see the phone in a protective casing being dropped from roughly 100 feet (31m) and while the display is clearly crushed from the fall, the phone itself seems to be working. So all the proclaimed sturdiness and rugged features of UMI London are maybe really more than just a marketing trick.

Well I dropped my Umi Emax on Friday and it landed screen down and cracked it. I thought it would still work (but look crap), but the touch-screen doesn’t work at all. Not happy.

Fake! The dropped position and the picked up position are different. The video has been edited. The phone has been switched.

  I do not believe in this. On the Internet a lot of video. Phones break everything. Or is it my bad luck? Seen recently video as throw phone Uhans A101. There was not even shown to work then the phone or not.

  You already selected the smartphone? If isn’t present, then you watch video comparing if you speak about Uhans and Umi. h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0VB8bmYK84

I saw a similar roller at Umi. Creators of Umi and Uhans send me for this test your phones. I will upload real video.

Very interesting video. Umi london is the good smartphone, but for me Uhans A101 is better, it is very important that it works on a network 4G. And I doubt that Umi continued work after falling from this height.

    4G it isn’t always good. 4G eats a lot of battery, and the battery 2450mAh isn’t enough for this function. Service 4G in my country very expensive. Uhans is a cheap smartphone. And if I buy it to the son to the teenager for $60, then I won’t pay such expensive 4G traffic.
