When it turned out that the next test subject would be the Umidigi smartphone presented at the beginning of the year, my previous bad experiences with the Umi Rome phone immediately came to mind. If it wasn't clear, we are talking about the same company founded in 2012, only renamed around 2017, since then they have been producing phones and other wearable devices under the name Umidigi. I hoped that not only their names had changed, but also the reliability of their phones. Spoiler alert: the company really got its act together, managed to pull together a decent cover, the price is also great, as it can now be ordered for HUF 74 with free delivery BGHU2490  with coupon.

But, of course, before that, I took a good look at the device, what the company's designers had created. As I watched, the feeling that it's not just the Pro Max name that was lifted from the apple company, but some similarity can also be found in the design, but of course this is surely just a coincidence. Regardless of that, or maybe just because of that, I think the phone is very nice. The combination of metal housing and plastic back panel suits it very well, it is perfectly fine to eat. THE The display size of 6,8 inches is just right, although this is subjective, but I like units equipped with displays larger than 6,5 inches. The inscription Beyond Dreams and the company name can be read on the back. For something the Chinese like to write sonorous sentences on the back of their phones, don't ask why, because I have no idea. But in the end it doesn't matter, it doesn't bother me, especially since it's barely visible even in this transparent case.

Az fingerprint reader located on the right side of the phone, which is also the power button. Its accuracy is not the best, but still It recognized my fingerprint 6 out of 5 times. The volume controls were placed above it, strangely it is not even possible to mute the phone from the quick menu, this option only pops up by pressing one of the volume controls. THE Type-C connector located at the bottom of the phone, a 3,5 jack plug next to. Yes, he has that too. On the left side is the SIM card slot, which accepts two cards, handles them perfectly well, or, it is possible to specify which should be preferred, which card should provide the mobile network. It is located below the programmable button, which the company for smart key christened, it is quite practical, because you can put many functions and any application behind it. Moreover, so that it is different for a single short press, a long press, or it can also distinguish between a double click. So you can start not one, but three things with its help.

The soul of the phone is one Helio G80 chip, 8 GB of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage space received a place, which is quite generous among phones of a similar category. There were no hiccups during everyday use. Of course, it is not suitable for more serious games, but the phone was not made for gamer purposes either. The its battery is 5150 mAh, it can be charged with 33 watts with the charging head included in the package,  which in practice in 2 hours pumped the phone full.

No complaints about operating time, it easily lasted the day with moderately intense pressure.

I quickly inserted a pre-paid SIM card, which had been resting on the shelf until now, and started the system. After switching on, the inscription Umidigi appeared, after some thought we could start the basic setup tasks, such as language choice, fortunately the device can be perfectly explained. After it got WiFi I gave it to it it transferred my Google account and the corresponding password, and quite a lot of things from the phone I'm currently using, such as all SMS, contacts, passwords, it simplified things a bit. There is no NFC in the phone, so the mobile payer has to forget about it, it knows satellite positioning of course, for this it uses GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou satellites. It connects to your router using two-channel WiFi

After completing these mandatory rounds, I was finally able to use the phone,

at first it appeared that they didn't overdo the pre-installed apps. Well, the very basic things like Gmail, Google Chrome, maps are there, let's say I struggled with the latter because it didn't want to start at all, even after several forced shutdowns and phone restarts, finally an update helped, after that it worked normally, so no problem , just because it's weird. Besides that they didn't really do anything on it, neither Facebook, nor Insta, nor even a gallery, where you can look back at the completed photos. We had to extract these from the file manager, and of course you can also find apps for this on Google Play. I haven't had a smartphone that didn't know this by default, not even one that does it at the same time thermometer it would have been Umidigi 11 Pro Max definitely stands out from the crowd here. You can measure your fever with the application created for this purpose, you just have to hold the camera 1-3 centimeters from your head and press the button. The device works like an infrared thermometer and read fairly accurate readings. Capable of measuring fever between 35 and 42 degrees, and also for measuring the temperature of objects between 0 and 60 degrees, with this, you can roughly adjust the temperature of the room.

The Umidigi A11 Pro Max cameras are supplied by Sony, its main camera 48 SM, while the ultra-wide sensor is 16 megapixels, one more on the back 2 MP macro camera got a seat, and one in front as well 16 megapixel selfie camera. Based on these, he could even have created good pictures, but in general I have to say that this did not happen. The problem may be on the software side, but the colors are far from true to life, the digital zoom worked quite well, even at eight times zoom it didn't take terrible pictures. I was satisfied with the macro mode, it took sharp, colorful pictures even from 15 centimeters away.

In the dark, however, it didn't compete very well, in semi-darkness, even as it left, but as soon as it got really dark, even though I activated the night mode, I held the phone with a firm hand, the images without flash became unusable. Turning on the flash made things a little better because the built-in flash worked quite efficiently, even from a distance of 3-4 meters we managed to take pictures shoot with it. Overall, I could say that if if you want to capture something quickly, it's perfect for that, but don't expect artistic pictures from him.

In terms of video capabilities, it can be said to be average, the sensor can record 2K resolution at 30 FPS, but it's not really the resolution that you can get into, but again the richness of color, which I really missed.

Summary

Overall, Umidigi's smartphone it was a pleasant disappointment for me, it seems that they have evolved a lot over the years, I have now become a reliable manufacturer. Of course, you can still feel the lag compared to the bigger manufacturers, but if the price tag they hang on their products will still be similarly attractive, then you can buy their products. Of course, it's good to be aware of its limitations. Its battery and the long operating time it provides are a big plus, I also envied this a bit as a Samsung owner. The price of the device is considered really favorable, because now 74 300  FtDue to the conversion rates of the webshops, the prices may differ for different currencies (e.g. if you set the webshop to HUF, the prices are usually higher than if you set it to USD). The prices indicated in the article are informative and in all cases are HUF equivalents of the price displayed on the webshop's interface in USD (or in EUR, if there is no USD option) (according to the interbank exchange rate valid at the time of writing the article).you can buy the BGHU2490  using a coupon code. At this price already shipping and VAT are included, there will be no other costs related to the order.
