Umdigi

elhota1 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 16:57:26 GMT

I am considering buying two different models of Umdigi phones and am wondering how compatible they are with Public Mobile and which one would be more compatible. I am considering the Umdigi A3X and Umdigi A3S.

Thank you

@elhota1 both versions are very compatible. it would just depend on what version you prefer. I would probably choose the newer model a3x for better support

Both version are compatible with Public Mobile, so no worries.

@elhota1 All Umidigi phones are compatible with Public Mobile. In fact, Umidigi models are all global and support most global bands.

@elhota1 they are both 100% having the required 3g and 4g LTE bands. The X seems to be the replacement for the S. However the S has a bigger battery. The X will proably get around 2 days when fully charged and the S 2.5. So, its up to you which one you get. My mom has the older S model and has no problems. Stay safe.

@elhota1 Better question might be, where are you planning on getting it from?

I ordered the A3S from the Umidigi store on AliExpress, and it's now over 3 months, and it hasn't shown up. If I had it to do over, I'd probably have gotten it from Amazon instead.

I have an Umidigi F1. Ordered from Amazon but it was out of stock so it took a few weeks. I can't imagine how long it would take to order one from AliExpress directly. In fact I ordered something from them back in February and it just arrived today.

As for the A3's I noticed that both versions have two sim slots plus a memory card slot. My F1 has two slots total with one that can either be the memory card or the second sim. It would be super handy if they weren't combined.

Just wondering if they charged your credit card for that?

They do charge your credit when ordering from Ali Express. However, if you do not receive the product within the expected time frame and the seller does not do an extension to the time frame, you can file a dispute with Ali Express to get a refund.

Yes, they did, and as @elhota1 mentioned, I filed a dispute, and after much going back & forth, they FINALLY decided to refund the money. Now I just have to wait 3 - 20 days for THAT to show up on my credit card. 🙄 Suffice it to say, I won't be ordering anything from AliExpress 'til the world situation returns to something resembling normal.

@elhota1

I never heard about this phone brand before are they good.?????

All the reviews I have read about them are positive. Some say that they have similar quality to Samsung at a lower price.

I have no personal experience with them, since my order hasn't shown up, and at this point I kind of doubt it ever will, BUT I heard about them on a computer related site, and several people on there have bought them mainly as a backup phone, simply because of their decent specs, combined with their relatively low price.

That, and several people here have various models of their phones, and other than somewhat poor quality pics from the cameras, most folks here seem to like them.

My wife has been using the Umidigi F2 for about a month now and no complaints from her at all about it.

@elhota1 , I would recommend that you avoid the A3S and A3X. Both are really underwhelming in the specs department. I got an A5 pro a year ago just to test drive the brand. The specs on that phone is way better than the A3 line but was still super laggy. I ended up retiring the phone after a couple of months of use. I think the F2 is a worthy bet if you can get it at a discounted price.

@fdrcamb519 I have been using an Umidigi F1 since September and it is great. I love how much storage it has. Before that I typically used lower grade Samsung phones and this is so much better.

Iv been using the umidigi A3x and honestly for a low budget phone I am impressed with it all around.only issue is the wifi antena is weak on mine but other then that for price I can't complain to much

Now that the merchant has agreed to refund, you can contact your credit card company and request they expedite the credit.

Uhm.... not sure what you're gettin' at..... the credit back to my card, AFAIK, still has to be initiated by AliExpress, doesn't it? In that case, how is me contacting the CC company going to get anything done quicker? 🤔
