I bought this phone to be used during travelling as it is meant to be almost 'indestructible'.I bought another umidigi phone a couple of years ago, for the same reasons and It has has lasted me well.What do I like;👍The specs on the phone are really good, comparable to my normal phone👍 The thing is a beast - this phone is sealed so is dust and water proof and can even be used to take pictures underwater.👍 It's sort of drop proof - I took it on holiday with me, and dropped it a lot, this thing barely has a mark on it. (it is slightly chunkier as a result)👍It's insanely good value!Dislikes;👎Not 5g👎 No NFC.None of these are a major deal breakerFinal thoughtsThis phone for the price could be considered an entry-ish level phone, but it is in fact much better then that. This phone has a spec comparable to most of the top models today, and for the price of a basic phone.

My bother was. Very happy.

Looked a nice phone but did not have NFC which for me is an essential feature. Documentation is misleading with NFC in large letters and a tiny 'no' below it. If it would have been clearer I would not have needed to return this item.

I am not a tech expert, but by taking my time I managed to navigate and transfer all my info from my old phone. Very good quality, easy to use and plenty of storage space for me.Very happy with this product.

easy to swap all apps and stuff across

This phone looks and feels really well made. I think it will be a great phone for anyone working outdoors or who needs a phone designed to take a beating. The display is LCD and is sharp and bright. Not up there with OLED displays but at this price it's very good.The phone is easy enough to work and has a button on the right to turn it on and off.I am a little disappointed with the main cameras, they are ok in good lighting conditions but aren't great in low light. After coming from an iPhone that is the only major let down (however this device is much cheaper than an iPhone).Overall I am happy with the phone. The sound quality is good, the speaker is decent for the price but the main thing for me is that the battery is amazing. At the end of the day I still have around 50% battery which is incredible when I have been playing music and using other apps.Overall a great value phone that I find very easy to recommend.

This phone was packed well and comes with nice looking accessories (charger and cable). The adaptor head has an extendable earthing prong which makes it much more travel worthy. The phone feels well made and has a good weight to it. The dimensions and design is similar to other phones on the market but it also applies a full screen look and has a notch for the camera.The screen quality is good enough to browse social media and the internet however when watching a video the picture has an odd contrast and slight over saturation. The picture is fairly crisp but not how I would expect a full HD picture to look. Saying that the sound is loud and clear but the treble is too overpowering. The speaker is located at the bottom and has no indication of surround sound and can very much be uncomfortable to hear if watching a video and the sound is blasting one way.Set up was great and the speed of normal activities is fast. The haptic vibration is strong (maybe too strong) but was dissipated through the phone well. The fingerprint sensor is great and provides a rapid way of unlocking the phone. The screen itself has a frictiony feeling glass that doesn't seem too hard to be careful of dropping this.The camera is where the phone really suffers. The picture quality is very poor and the modes aren't executed well. On portrait mode the blur is pixelated in some areas. There is a waterproof camera mode which only allows the use of the buttons to use the phone underwater? This is interesting but it comes with no instruction and to get out of the mode I had to restart the phone. The camera quality is not good enough to bother with an underwater mode.I think this phone is okay value for money. The usability is mainly for a secondary phone or if someone wants the ability to use apps and other basic functions but not take pictures with it. Possibly aimed more at a travel phone that will go under physical and water stress.
