UMIDIGI C1 Max Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

UMiDIGI C1 Max - making inexpensive smartphones better

The end of 2022 was marked by a significant increase in the performance of low-end smart phones. In addition, even not the most famous developers have finalized other aspects of their budget products. So, the Chinese company Umidigi was able to implement in the hero of today's review also an attractive design, decent autonomy.

As noted above, the appearance of the novelty came out successful. Of course, you can’t find a glass back panel or a frameless display here, but the combination of a stylish dual photo module, a side fingerprint sensor and eye-pleasing colors can give positive emotions. The 6.52-inch IPS display is not bad, but far from ideal, even within the cost category. The resolution of 1600x720 pixels is still insufficient for full image clarity, the fonts then look blurry. The margin of brightness is also small, which is why it is not always possible to use the device in direct sunlight.

But with the technical characteristics, everything is great. UNISOC Tiger T610 CPU, 6GB RAM and Mali G52MP2 video accelerator will be approved by both ordinary users and gamers on a budget. So, with the specified processor, it is quite possible to get comfortable gameplay in PUBG, World Of Tanks Blitz and other three-dimensional projects that are not resource-intensive. But Genshin Impact should be left for flagship devices. The manufacturer increased the size of the internal storage to a shameful 128GB, which can also be expanded with MicroSD cards. All of the above is complemented by a 5150mAh battery, which will require the nearest outlet every couple of days. Unfortunately, fast charging only has a capacity of 10W, which is a significant disadvantage of the battery.

The 50- and 5-megapixel sensors led by the Samsung JN1 won't be a revelation for mobile photographers, but still won't leave without clear text at the right moment or without a more or less detailed daytime landscape. Cameras fail in other scenarios, but sometimes even more expensive counterparts are not ready for evening shooting. There are no NFC contactless payments, savings are also evident in stereo sound. The only speaker does not shine with volume, and it practically does not reproduce bass. At the same time, for music lovers, there is still a separate headphone jack. As a result, the device has everything you need to find your audience and not disappoint a potential buyer.
