@gblackma Clearly, each model will be different, but I've heard nothing but bad things about the cameras in Umidigi devices.
@geopublic I wouldn't consider a Pixel-anything to be a budget device. This, of course, is only opinion.
The Umidigi phones are definitely budget oriented in terms of performance. The camera hardware is probably okay, but the software is garbage. The camera software on the A5 pro was rushed out the door so much that pictures generally come out looking pretty low quality. The F2 is a whole lot better. Functions like macro actually work. I would give the camera performance on the F2 a passing grade. As for $229 for the A7 pro which is really an A5 pro with a different label, that is highway robbery. I won't complain about the A5 pro too loudly because I got it for $131 with no expectations of making out like a bandit. The pixel line of phones are not comparable to the Umidigi line. Google knows their stuff when it comes to camera software. I have an LG G7 one which is pretty much an LG phone running google software. The pictures from the G7 one are amazing for a single camera setup.
Normally I don't like to shill Samsung products because they are not that great for value. Given that shipping phones from China these days is pretty YMMV, I would say this offering from swiftronics is not bad. It is open box but that should only reflect in the price being lower not the item being defective. I know a couple of people with the A50 and it seems to work quite well. This is the next generation and one model up.
