UMIDIGI A15 - the right priorities

It is impossible to create an ideal inexpensive smartphone, because from different sides the manufacturer is under pressure from the need to contain costs and increasing customer demands. However, it is still possible to get closer to such a result, as evidenced by the hero of today's review. It has flaws, but for the price category they are minor.

The appearance of the novelty is not bad, but it is in it that the developer's savings are hidden. The outdated design of the 16-megapixel selfie camera and the wide lower display bezel are unlikely to cause a lot of positive emotions, but there is a convenient side fingerprint scanner, a beautiful triple camera unit and a number of attractive colors of cases made of not the cheapest polycarbonate. The 6.7-inch IPS screen isn't perfect either, but it makes up for the low resolution and standard 60Hz refresh rate with good brightness, natural colors, and power efficiency.

The role of the technical characteristics is given to the UNISOC Tiger T616 eight-core CPU, 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video accelerator. With performance, everything is worthy, the Android 13 interface is rarely prone to jamming, the launch of instant messengers, browsers is fast, their functioning is smooth and responsive. As for games, 90-95% of modern titles are conquered by the chipset, however, the most resource-intensive projects like Genshin Impact will require reducing graphic settings to the minimum presets. Don't skimp on the battery. A 5000mAh battery lasts about one and a half to two days of device operation, charging with a power of 20W reduces the time the phablet is at the outlet to a couple of hours. The size of the permanent memory has been increased to the flagship 256GB, while leaving a slot for microSD cards.

The main 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules are superior in photographic capabilities to those in most analogues of the device. The wide-angle lens is capable of making daytime shots that are pleasing to the eye, but the main sensor does not give in to evening shooting, even if the photos are somewhat spoiled by noise. There is no stereo sound, the only speaker will help you hear a call or notification, but its volume and frequency response are not enough to listen to your favorite music with pleasure. If we talk about other advantages of the gadget, then their list will be replenished with NFC contactless payments, a wired headphone jack. As a result, the device is a candidate for the title of a hit, because it has few equally interesting alternatives in the value segment.
