UMIDIGI A13 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMiDIGI A13 Pro - lack of identity?

It is difficult to blame the Chinese company Umidigi for the lack of development of their range. Smartphones are becoming more beautiful and more functional, but sometimes it is so difficult to distinguish them from opponents, because phones almost completely borrow the design concept from more successful counterparts. The hero of today's review is no exception to the rule.

The appearance of the novelty is attractive, but at the same time it is extremely secondary. A block of photomodules straight from the latest Realme devices, body colors familiar to fans of the brand, a side fingerprint scanner are unlikely to surprise sophisticated users. The 16-megapixel selfie camera in the outdated “drop” form factor will not do this either. The very shape of the plastic Android phone strongly resembles that of Apple products. The developer has not advanced in terms of the quality of the IPS screens used either. The 6.7-inch display is brighter but doesn't get a higher refresh rate, and clarity at HD + resolution fails.

Specifications leave a neutral impression. The Unisoc Tiger T610 CPU , 4GB/6GB RAM and the Mali G52-MC2 graphics chip have long since moved away from the title of entry-level gaming, so gamers will not be able to enjoy truly resource-intensive projects. You will have to forget about Genshin Impact, but PUBG will be playable with minimal graphics presets. At the same time, the Android 11 interface is devoid of critical lags, applications open quite quickly. The buyer will not like only some untranslated phrases. For autonomy, the answer is a good old 5150mAh battery, with which memories of sockets or power banks will begin to visit the head of an Android user only after a couple of days. The amount of internal memory of 128GB also does not disappoint, especially since it is always possible to expand it with MicroSD cards.

48-, 8- and 5-megapixel photomodules are headed by the popular Sony IMX582, however, without optical stabilization, high-quality lenses do not demonstrate phenomenal photo and video capabilities. If daylight has a positive effect on the detailing of frames, on the realism of color reproduction, but it is problematic to achieve good photos in the evening or even just indoors. The phablet is deprived of stereo sound, but it has NFC contactless payments, which, at a minimum, will facilitate the process of buying goods in a store. Thus, the device came out balanced and competitive, but it lacks individuality and a high-profile advertising campaign. Yes, and the software upsets mediocre optimization.
