today we're doing a full review of the Umidigi X and that's coming up right
after this
if you new here won't stay up to date with the latest tack please hit
subscribe followed by the bow so the Umidigi X is another budget phone that
offers the features people need without the expensive price tag we get a nearly
full screen AMOLED display with a triple camera setup including a 48 megapixel
sensor and all for just one hundred and sixty pounds or two hundred and twenty
dollars today we'll be doing a full review to find out the good and the bad
and see if this could be a suitable choice for you if we start with the
unboxing I was actually impressed here and we do get some great quality
packaging for such a budget device first in the box we get the phone itself
inside a protective case the phone also comes with a screen protector
pre-installed next we get a package containing the instruction manual along
with the sim removal tool and finally we get the USB wall charger and a USB
type-c cable so the Umidigi X is in my opinion a reasonably good looking phone
we've got a nearly full screen display on the front thanks to the water drop
style notch and on the back we've got a glass panel
with a red accent running down from the cameras this is the flame black model I
have here but it also comes in a breathing crystal blue so to start with
the display is a six point three five inch AMOLED display that's protected by
Gorilla Glass 4 brightness levels are great and color looks fantastic one
downside here however is that the resolution of the phone is actually 720
by 1548 meaning it's not full HD it still looks nice and clear and of course
this is a budget phone but for those of you like myself who are used to full HD
plus displays then you will be able to notice a difference the Umidigi X also
has an in display fingerprint scanner and this is of course an optical sensor
the fingerprint scanner works well and one not the fastest it does unlock the
device in plenty of time the phone also has face unlock which works well up but
it is of course a 2d face unlock the water drop not houses a 16 megapixel
selfie camera but covered the camera test shortly if we
switch over to the rear of the device you can see we get a triple camera setup
it consists of a 48 megapixel main sensor an 8 megapixel ultra wide and a 2
megapixel depth sensor it's capable of taking videos at a max resolution of
1080p but again we'll cover that shortly the phone is comfortable to hold it
comes in at a weight of 210 billion and the phone dimensions are 150 8.6 by
seventy five point six by eight point one millimeters when it comes to
hardware the phone's powered up by the Helio P 60 system-on-chip
which is an octa-core CPU along with the mali g72 GPU or not the most powerful it
is still a fully capable chipset and good enough for things like gaming the
phone comes with four gigs of RAM and 128 gig internal storage and you can
also expand this with microSD the phone powered by a 4150 milliamp hour battery
that easily lasted the day in my testing the fact that it's an AMOLED display at
720p really seems to help with this it comes with Android 9 pie and it's a near
stock version of Android with minimal blow wear one thing to mention however
is that I wouldn't expect you umidigi to ever release an Android 10 update it is
powered by USB type-c and supports dual band Wi-Fi and bluetooth 4.2 or but it
doesn't support NFC great news for audio fans though it does come up with a three
and a half mil headphone jack so after using the phone for about a month I can
say it's a pretty decent phone considering its price but there are
still some drawbacks the phone is smooth and responsive at all times and the
software is great the UI looks incredible in the brightness and colors
of the display you really do make for a pleasant experience I just wish it could
have been 1080p watching media on the device is good but again for those that
are used to 1080p then you may notice a difference the speaker was pretty
reasonable and what I expected from the device when at full volume the treble
did become a little bit tinny if I was to step back a couple of levels it
sounds great for those who want to do mobile gaming it's a perfectly capable
device as well helio p60 is still able to run the
latest mobile games with good detail and frame rates I first tested with asphalt
9 and as you can see it looks and performs well the game plays very
smoothly while retaining a constant framerate next I tried call of duty
mobile and the graphics setting defaulted to medium it looks great and
plays incredibly smoothly and this is definitely an enjoyable experience for
gaming after turning the graphic details too high it still played very smoothly
and I continued to keep it on this setting and had no issues at all finally
I tried pubg mobile and again if performed well it did perform much
better on medium settings but it was playable on high for those that are
after a cheap phone for gaming then this will be perfectly fine and it will do a
great job the fact that we have a three and a half mil headphone jack only makes
things better now it's time to take a look at the camera's performance so
first we'll check out the video so this is the video taken from the rear camera
it's of course at 1080p which is the max setting on the Umidigi X so we'll see how
this comes out when I get to the computer and see how the audio comes out
as well of course that would be completely unedited I'm not trying to
stabilize it here as I want to see how well the stabilization works at when we
get it onto the computer so in terms of the rear camera I'm not overly impressed
with the video quality in detail but this is a budget phone audio came out
pretty well considering there was a little bit of wind there's very little
stabilization but I was purposely recording when walking it just to see
how this performed now we're testing the selfie camera on the Umidigi X this is
the front facing camera of course and it's again at 1080p which is max setting
so we'll see how this one comes out there's a bit of wind but it's a sunny
day so it should hopefully perform pretty well when it comes to the selfie
camera the quality is of course much lower but again the audio was good you
can see there was a bit of a struggle with the sun shining on the lens and
again very little image stabilization we have to remember of course that this
isn't a flagship so we can't expect perfect results when it comes to
photography it did perform much better than video in terms of quality in detail
or pictures were taken with just a simple
point-and-shoot rather than spending time trying to compose a decent shot so
it hasn't done too badly in all fairness well it's not the best we still have
reasonable detail and color accuracy on the normal shots on portrait shots it
did give us the portrait blur effect but it did also blur slightly around the
edges of the object that was in focus overall I would say the cameras are
performing okay for the cost of the device it's great that we've got the
additional wide-angle lens but I think maybe it could have been a better idea
to just focus on a single camera and do it's slightly better for those who want
to know benchmark results I first ran it through antutu where we got a total
score of one hundred and sixty eight thousand one hundred and twenty three if
we break that down it was seventy two thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight
for the CPU twenty seven thousand 660 for the GPU thirty-eight thousand three
hundred and seventeen for memory and finally twenty nine thousand at one
hundred and eighty eight for the UX I then headed over to Geekbench and here
we got a single core score of two hundred and ninety nine and a multi-core
score of one thousand four hundred and sixty five overall it's a nice phone to
use and not bad for something that's more budget in the price range the phone
was fast and responsive in the screen is both bright and colourful as I said
earlier for those that are used to 1080p screens and then it definitely is
something to consider well though I didn't really notice when gaming when it
comes to cameras it does do the job and while good in its price range I would
maybe consider something else if your main need for a phone is just
photography but for those who just want a good all-rounder or something cheap
for gaming it then it's definitely a great contender
of course I've placed links down in the description for Amazon UK and Amazon USA
for those of you that want to purchase or simply take a closer look but as
always if there is anything I've missed or you've got any questions then just
ask in the comments below but thanks for watching the video if you liked it smash
a thumbs up if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and I'll see you guys in the
