Ok ok, before we go on with this news grab a pinch of salt as this rumours sounds like a piece of UMi Pie in the sky.
UMi are notorious of making bold claims and not always following through. Do you remember the UMi Zero 2 for example? A phone that was first rumoured to have a dual screen design and then shown again with a rear leather panel before finally disappearing all together?
Well in the run up to the release of their UMi Super phone, the company are once again running up the hype machine with claims that their phone will run as much as 6GB RAM and now perhaps a Snapdragon 820 chipset.
Gizchina News of the week
The use of a Snapdragon 820 seems a little far fetched for us as Qualcomm have strict rules they abide to when choosing partners and which phone makers use their chipsets and so far UMi hasnât been one of them. âwell hang on, what about the UMi Emax Mini? That had a Qualcomm chipâ, yes this is true but the phone was actually an axed TCL product that UMi decided to sell with their branding (this also explains why there havenât been any updates for the phone since launch either, as TCL arenât supporting it).
Apparently the UMi Super will come with a metal chassis, USB Type C, AMOLED display, HIFI audio and fast charging which UMi plans to sell for around $300. Judging by the speed of UMiâs launches though we donât expect to see the final device until after summer.
Thanks to Marco for the tip.
This is just a news without anything of value.
So, it’s not umi claiming this, but a random blog hungry for views (just look at the ads: “billionaires don’t want you to see this video”… Bit*h please!).
I actually think it will be an helio p20 inside this (which should support 6gb of ram).
Meanwhile, I was also wondering where zero 2 went, but right now I’m starting to think they cancelled it due to helio x20’s delay!
And, speaking of x20, it could be another choice for this Super: maybe producers are starting to use the same workaround we’ve seen lately on tablets to use more ram than supported by the soc (really don’t remember what it was though)
lol
UMI am hopeful.
But I will believe you when you fulfill.
Snapdragon 820 my ass. It will be an MT6589 non-turbo edition with the hardware id’s set to pose as an X10 / X20 in info tools. Freakin’ poo-grade manufacturer from the Chinese cheap-tier.
I think they got the “20” part right but the rest is wrong. If anything it will be an X20.
Don’t use model names like ‘Super’ or ‘Future’ if you want people to take you seriously.
Andi commenting on this gives some hope cause at least we can throw some credit to it. Nonetheless the salt and pepper should not run far from the table being UMI …. An X20 would give is some more credibility to it.
Do you remember how they promised Zero 2 with additional e-ink screen? Never happened. ‘Touch’ they started delivering with huge delay …
I would not believe in everything their marketing dept say.
