UMIDIGI A7 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMiDIGI A7 - cheaper and better ?!

The Pro index in the name of a smartphone in the overwhelming majority of cases means the superiority of the model in performance, autonomy or photographic capabilities over an ordinary brother from the manufacturer's range. Surprisingly, the Chinese company Umidigi thinks completely differently, and the hero of today's review is in some aspects significantly more interesting than the Pro-analog.

The appearance of the novelty largely copies that of its predecessor. The design of the four photomodules is still modern and stylish, and the color solutions of the cases made of fairly high-quality plastic are pleasing to the eye. There is also a new attractive green back panel, which retains the fingerprint scanner. The display has increased to 6.49 inches , unfortunately, the bezels are also slightly wider. The OGS panel has lost some contrast and brightness, but the picture is still difficult to scold in terms of visibility on a sunny day. But the resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels may upset some buyers. But it is precisely this feature of the IPS-display that allows the technical characteristics to be revealed.

The Mediatek Helio P23 processor has been replaced by the P20, which, together with 4GB of RAM and the MaliT880 MP2 video accelerator, which is more optimized for gaming, gives you a chance to set even average graphics settings in a number of resource-intensive gaming projects. This is a good achievement for an inexpensive phablet. 64GB of internal storage is allocated, but you can always expand the memory with MicroSD cards.

A quartet of cameras of 16, 8 and 5 (a couple) megapixels will not make evening photos incredibly detailed and natural in color reproduction, but they will quite cope with daytime shooting. The front -facing photosensor is 16-megapixel and does not fall face down in the dirt against the background of opponents. The battery capacity of 4150mAh is enough for 9-10 hours of active screen time, which will eliminate the need for power banks. A separate headphone jack and Android Q also have a positive effect on the attractiveness of the gadget. Thus, we got a solid budget device, devoid of serious flaws and ready to endow the developer with excellent sales.
