UMIDIGI Note 100x 5G - when the disadvantages are obvious

The Chinese company UMIDIGI surprises users with truly competitive smartphones less and less. Unfortunately, the corporation's popularity is gradually declining. And it seems that the developer does not give up trying to surprise the audience, releasing new devices, but their competitiveness is highly questionable. So, the hero of today's review has such unbalanced parameters for the price segment that it automatically puts an end to acquiring the title of a hit.

The designers do not receive their salaries in vain. Pleasant to the eye colors of the cases made of not the worst plastic, a stylish block of cameras, a beautiful brand logo, an ergonomic side fingerprint scanner, a neat eye of the 8-megapixel selfie camera together create an attractive exterior, which is only slightly spoiled by the wide lower frame of the screen. The display is unlikely to receive an abundance of compliments due to the modest resolution of 1600x720 pixels with a 6.8-inch diagonal. There is also a lack of brightness, but there are no problems with color rendition and smoothness of the displayed image (refresh rate of 120 Hz).

The technical characteristics are simply strange. Quite a powerful CPU UNISOC T675 for the price category, a decent video adapter Mali G57MC2 are combined with a ridiculous 4 GB of RAM. If the Android 15 interface does not irritate with lags, then the constant unloading of running applications from the tray, crashes and freezes even in not the most demanding games will cause only negativity. At the same time, everything is fine with autonomy, because the battery capacity is increased to 5200 mAh. Fast charging can nominally be called such, because its power is 20 W, you will have to stay near the outlet for a long time. The internal memory is allocated as much as 256 GB, and there is a slot for MicroSD cards. What can you store on ROM with the mentioned disadvantages?

The photo capabilities do not arouse enthusiastic emotions. The main 32-megapixel photo module is very simple, it is better not to remember the auxiliary 0.3-megapixel sensor at all. Even daytime photo sessions are difficult for such cameras, you can see blurs, noise, and a drop in detail with a slight deterioration in lighting. The sound of one speaker is not loud, the bass is not audible, but distortion is quite good. But let's move on to something more positive. For example, there are contactless NFC payments and support for 5G networks. However, the device still looks mediocre against the background of numerous opponents.
