farmbot — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:20:44 GMT

I am looking for feedback from owners of Umidigi smartphones purchased from Amazon Canada.

Anyone with usage over 1 year? Call reception in remote locations and Quality of speaker?

I am long term Moto user which has good reception and call qualityin rural areas.

Thanks for comments.

@farmbot The F2 is the best phone Umidigi makes. Motto G7 and Nokia 7.2 are also very good choices.

@farmbot The Umidigi F2 has some rave reviews and if found on sale is well worth the money. The A5 pro reg $175 but often on sale for $130 is a great value for the price but has some issues with the camera in low light. But has great battery life, fast charging, good sound quality and a sleek design with a large screen. The price on these phones are pretty amazing.

@fdrcamb519 , the F2 has 6 gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage. Plenty for most users. I highly recommend it.

I have been using an F1 since September. Other than having to manually change the APN settings it works great for PM. I love the massive amount of storage since it means no more having to regularly figure out which apps to uninstall. It cost me about $230 so when this one dies I would have no problem getting another one.

Plus I love that it comes with a case and screen protector.

@farmbot, wow, am kinda surprised how many people here in the community have or heard of Umidigi phones. I know @gblackma owns one I believe.

I myself am a former iPhone user switch to now an Asus ZenFone because of the big RAM chip, big drive space, great camera and dual SIM cards.

Get a phone that you think that will last for at least a few years!

Is speed the most important. How much RAM? RAM can let more apps run in the background without slowing your phone down.
Camera? Video? Is taking photos and videos important to you.
Dual SiM or a Single Sim card in the phone.
Dual Sim? Yes, you can add more space to the internal card as well to your phone
How much storage do you need on your phone? For games, apps, photos, videos, etc
Is the phone unlocked or locked
Buyer beware. Is the phone legit, or a stolen one. Buy from a reliable source. I buy from Amazon Canada. Craigslist, Kijiji or eBay, is questionable.
How good is the battery? More than 5000mAh?

As far as where to buy a Umidigi phone I would stick to either Amazon or the official Umidigi store on AliExpress.

@farmbot the F1 IS 4g, 128gb, the battery is a 5000 mAh one. I overpaid $269 on Amazon.ca, based on @kelvarnsen . It works great, but I didn't have it for a year, only 2 months, and I'm in Toronto, but no complaints.

Thanks for comments.

I have one friend who has purchased a Umidigi phone, got it really cheap. Now he has an awesome paperweight. But I think you get what you pay for. The S3 I have heard is a good deal. That's all I can really contribute to
you sorry.

@gblackma , I watched for a few weeks on Amazon. It would sort of cycle through and every 4 or 5 days a different Umidigi phone would go on sale.

Thanks so far for comments.

Not worried about gaming or photo.

My concern is calling and text the original action of cellphones.

A9 A11 still working without any problem.

And just got newest A15.

I like this brand.
