UMIDIGI Bison X10 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMiDIGI Bison X10 Pro - is the overpayment worth it?

Buying a Pro version of a smartphone can result in different results. In some cases, we get a huge increase in functionality and productivity, in other situations it is sometimes difficult to understand why the money was overpaid. And although the hero of today's review more than meets the standards of the price category, it is not so easy to find differences from its predecessor in it.

The design of the novelty is the same, but the glass of the back panel has been replaced with a more durable rubberized polycarbonate, which is noticeably more common in devices with moisture protection according to IP68 standards. The camera unit remained intact, unfortunately, the visible bezels of the 6.53-inch display have not disappeared anywhere. The quality of the IPS panel hasn't changed either. If the values of brightness and contrast are relatively good, then the resolution of 1600x720 pixels is not the parameter that I would like to see in a modern Android smartphone, which is close to the mid-price segment. The clarity of the picture is poor.

The technical characteristics are already familiar from the version of the phone without the Pro-index. The time- tested Mediatek Helio P60, 4GB of RAM and the Mali G72-MP3 graphics accelerator feel good in such operations as drawing the Android 11 interface, browsers, playing FullHD videos, instant messengers, not the most demanding games like PUBG. For example, you don't have to expect comfortable gameplay in Genshin Impact with any graphics presets. But the manufacturer has brought the volume of internal storage to 128GB , so the microSD card slot may not come in handy.

Photos and videos created by the main 20-, 8- and 2-megapixel photo modules are praiseworthy only when shooting in daylight. Budget sensors are simply drowned in an excess of noise during evening photo shoots, while dynamic objects or events are likely to upset with greases. But autonomy has become a strong side of the device. A 6000mAh battery will require charging once every couple of days, with not particularly active use of the mobile assistant, this period can be increased to three days. NFC contactless payments are in their rightful place, but the gadget is deprived of stereo sound. As a result, we have in front of us an almost literal repetition of the previous model of the series, the acquisition of which looks like a more relevant decision.
