Hard to believe, but it is true!

Meet the new Android offering from the Chinese maker UMI, the UMI X2. The company introduced this device in India, and it grabs tons of attention as it packs a range of features that we often associate with smartphones available for a huge prices.
Now let's check the features in detail - UMI X2 is landing with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but don't get fed up as the company promises for a Android 4.2 update as early as in April itself. The screen, as we said is a high end one with 5-inch full HD IPS display with 920x 1080 resolution and an impressive pixel density of 441PPI. The Gorilla Glass 2 coating will offer extra protection for the device from scratches. It runs on a 1.2 GHz MTK MT6589 quad-core processor assisted with PowerVR SGX544 GPU. 2 GB RAM and 32 GB inbuilt memory is more than enough for storage and in case if you need additional storage, the device also supports a microSD card. You can extend your storage with a micdoSD card up to 32GB.

UMI is planning to launch the device in March between 15-20.

So we have to wait up to March to know whether it is a hit or a miss. Stay tuned with us for more details.
