UMIDIGI​ ​S2​ and ​S2​ ​Pro​ with 6-inch display and 5100mAh battery launched at IFA 2017

Apparently, UMIDIGI surprised everybody at the IFA 2017 that’s taking place in Berlin and just launched the UMIDIGI S2 and S2 Pro, their latest 18:9 display aspect ratio phones. After seeing Samsung releasing the Note 8 and LG with the V30, the Chinese company couldn’t wait any longer and finally unveiled both them.

The UMIDIGI S2 Pro will be coming with a big 6-inch display in the body size comparable to a 5.5-inch phone, the previously mentioned 18:9 aspect ratio, a massive 5100mAh capacity battery, a full metal body and two rear cameras produced by Sony. Below you’ll find the full specifications.
