UMI Plus Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMI Plus - when the Meizu boils over 

The Chinese company UMI certainly knows how to produce beautiful, original and interesting smartphones. Of course, it also has some problems (incorrect information about characteristics of Rome X, total overheating of eMax Mini), but what a young and ambitious brand has not faced with them? Unfortunately, to the above mentioned list may soon be added the item entitled as "Plagiarism." Whom does the hero of this review resemble? 

The similarity of the appearance of the new product and production of the company Meizu of this year can be seen by naked eye. The 2,5D-protective glass, a sensory-mechanical button with a fingerprint scanner on the front panel, so similar to the famous mTouch, rounded corners of the metal body - it is so easy to mix up photos of Plus with U20 under certain angles. Thanks God, in addition to the copier for the development were involved alive people (maybe even designers). That is why the back cover is a little different from the latest developments of Xiaomi, LeEco and other leaders of the market. The display in 5 and a half inches is characterized by a FullHD-resolution, an effective oleophobic coating, a great brightness and contrast. By this criterion the device is extremely competitive. 

Actually, we can say exactly the same thing about the technical component. Mediatek Helio P10 in conjunction with 4GB of RAM and MaliT860MP2 accelerator guarantee excellent operation of not only interface of OS Android Marshmallow, but also any even the most demanding games and applications. Traditionally, 32GB of ROM can be expanded by MicroSD cards, that may replace a SIM-card in the combined slot. 

13 and 5-megapixel cameras, according to assurances of developers will give a true pleasure while their use. The 4000mAh battery will not prevent a long communication with photomodules and it will provide up to 7-9 hours of active screen time. It is not a sin with a such autonomy to use a 4G-internet. In general, the impression of the device remains positive. Yes, there is a lack of individuality, but in the other aspects it is wonderful for its price segment.
