UMIDIGI A13S Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMiDIGI A13S - nowhere is better

The update of the A-series of smartphones of the Chinese company Umidigi consists of three models, each of which has covered a different user group. The Pro version is aimed at people who want to get good photo opportunities and advanced functionality, the “regular” version tries to keep the performance of its older brother and most of its advantages. The younger representative of the updated line is trying to bring the price-quality ratio to an extremely competitive level.

The design of the gadget almost literally repeats that of previously released devices, which will definitely appeal to customers with a reduced price tag of the phablet. The familiar 6.7-inch elongated IPS screen is still distinguished by thin frames, the side fingerprint scanner has not disappeared, and the rich colors of the cases. But the number of cameras dropped to two. Surprisingly, the display itself is unchanged. Taking into account the transition of the device to the lower price category, it is more difficult to find fault with the picture. Brightness and contrast score well, and HD + resolution doesn't feel so modest anymore.

Technical characteristics are not too cut down. Although the Unisoc Tiger T310 CPU has only four cores, together with 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GT7200 video chip, it adequately copes with the resource-intensive Android 11 interface and eliminates serious lags when working with instant messengers and similar applications. Thrifty gamers will not be left without games. If you have to forget about the famous Fortnite, then these words do not apply to PUBG or Call Of Duty. In these projects, the gameplay is quite smooth. The internal storage is allocated 32 / 64GB . Although there is a microSD slot , we strongly recommend purchasing a phone with more ROM.

16- and 2-megapixel photomodules are not the best tools for creating artistic photos, but they will help out at the right time. Capturing text or sketching a snapshot of an object is quite realistic even for an inexperienced photographer. Autonomy is also pleasantly surprising, because the battery is characterized by a capacity of 5150mAh and gives up to 10-12 hours of active screen time. There are no NFC contactless payments, but you can’t demand them from a fairly cheap Android smartphone with an abundance of other advantages. Thus, the device deserves attention within the value segment.
