Umidigi always focused on the hardware side and not on the software side. But I guess that's their main selling point, offering premium look devices with a cheap price
I'm looking for a new phone, so I passed by this video :) This phone, when searching for coupons, 4GB version, you can get for $100 in december 2021. My current phone is Redmi 7A, 2GB RAM, bought in 2019 for about $80. I would stay with the oldest Android version. WIth every update 2GB RAM was less and less spacious.
Their not compatible with most "third party" phones. I can see why with cricket though, that's more of a walmart brand (which works with & help walmart a lot). Walmart is very loyal to cricket & want cricket to be the same so I can't blame cricket there for making their things not being compatible with other companies. But at&t?! NO EXCUSE!!! That part really sucks! I hope you switch carriers, even if it's a lot more expensive. At least then you have a lot more phone companies to choose from in case apple, blu or oukitel doesn't last. (I'm starting to get worried about blu, so... 🤔)
I activated the app drawer like he said at 5:09 which was handy in that respect BUT what definitely wasn't handy was at the same time it wiped 6 pages of shortcut link tiles!! Does anyone know if/how I can restore them? Or have they been flushed down the memory hole forever?! HELP!!
I srsly love the fact that they made the phone have an iPhone 12 edge but to make the phone look more expensive than it is the front camera should also be like that of iPhone 12 and not the top notch pls tell the company abt that am a big fan of that front camera
That's a good emoji to use. I learned that whenever it has to go through customs clearance, it's basically guaranteed not to come (gets stuck). & with all this covid stuff, they're going to be even pickier. It's easier getting into the white house than getting even close to customs. Definitely the hardest thing to get to & through. Tightest security in the world, I think.
It's funny cause I'm a big fan of exactly the opposite of what you're a big fan of. 😅 But I'm still excited to get it. The features I don't like (that you do) aren't a huge deal so I can live with it. 😊 Can't wait til I get it!
Nice review Kevin. UMIDIGI new box and new logo looks a bit chintzy to me. The black box embossed with the logo were more premium in appearance. Why the backwards steps with specs…chip shortage? Words on back…eehhhh. I have two, Power & Power3, both still work, P3 better all around except for sound issues, both fast with better displays. Current trend seems like backwards progress. Never have had a major update for either of those UMI
I have the og umidigi power and I did the test and it’s a downgrade for me as well. I’m still going to get this phone though because I love the it looks
I almost ordered the wrong thing. Found out it didn't make a huge difference so I would've been fine making that mistake anyway. 🙃 A9 is only slightly worse for extremely lazy people. Don't know what happened to a10 though. 🤔
Kevin, got leads for sim card locked devices? My Umidigi S5 Pro won't read my straight talk (tmobile) sim or my 256gb sd card, any help with be appreciated
Don't really know about T-Mobile SIM cards but have you try to clean the SIM card or or even the SIM tray if that still don't work try replacing the SIM cards and if that still don't work try *replacing the SIM card tray* and if still then it's the smartphone
@@Charles-mu9ji it's just a working sim card for my unlock GSM Blu G9 pro, and I gave it to my Umidigi S5 Pro one day, it was fine, then Nevada was hit with a storm, I had to update the software, then it didn't work afterwards
Not 100% blocked IMEI, it's not blacklist because I already paid off the phone, and I can use it for wifi but if I wanna change my sim to that Umidigi, it says "no sim card" msg
Umidigi make great phones but sadly they don't up date them regularly and it's not easy to root and install custom roms either because of media tek. But if you don't care about security by all means buy their phones.

I just ordered mine, waiting for it to come in. Got mine in blue. This is the closes phone like my essential ph-1
Nope?

How is the phone?
Nice phone and I like the new logo, even though it looks like the logo of a fashion brand.
On your full review on this phone how the battery is. Do it drain very fast or get hot fast? I know that was a big issue when umidigi first came out
How come the video quality is lower than usual? 🤔
Love the back reminds me of the Redmi 9T and love Umidigi phones I want the A9 pro
Nice video kelvin
I’m about to get my own UMIDIGI A9
It’s on its way
Great video kelvin,,i hv ordered my today am waiting
Dark Mode? Home screen continuous scrolling? Able to remove search bar from top of screen?
Please how can i place an order for umidigi a11 broken screen.. I mean where to buy the spare screen incase it gets broken? Please help
When mid range tech has better battery than ur 2yr old phone it means u need to upgrade
Umidigi does not give operating system update. It's heated very much
Kevin Great Video...
Thank you!
Kevin.... Is it good for taking photos?

I'm getting the A11 Pro Max version in a few weeks from now.
Thank you. Excellent hands on.
It sucks that att and cricket decide not to be compatible with umidigi. Definitely put a halt in me buying it right now

Great video as always good phone but again a bummer you can't remove the battery.
I just ordered mine!! 😃 (amazon lost my other package 😒)
Watching this video did catch my re interest in umidigi.
why the change from the black classic packaging to yellow packaging? bad idea, yellow looks really odd. umidigi should keep their black packaging
Ya, looks like they wrapped in a "supreme" shirt. 😐
did u check the magnetometer/compass? im having a problem with the Umidigi A11S not having a magnetometer
Please where can I fix my Umidi A 11 in Nigeria ? Is having internet problem
I activated the app drawer like he said at 5:09 which was handy in that respect BUT what definitely wasn't handy was at the same time it wiped 6 pages of shortcut link tiles!! Does anyone know if/how I can restore them? Or have they been flushed down the memory hole forever?! HELP!!
The pro version is good too. I like the battery section and the mediatek processor in it.
did you do the drop test? these phones are go bad pretty fast after only a few drops
Which one would you prefer :
UMIDIGI A11 vs POCO M3 Pro?
I play a lot of app games, is it good for that?

That battery is pretty big

Kevin you should do a phone review on nokia phones somewhere down the road
Not Nomia but HMD Global. Nokia is dead forever. Only name exists.
I just got the A11S the other day and I like it but can't get the data to work with only 1 SIM.
Did you ever get this to work? I am having the same problem.
As soon as people catch on to these budget devices, they Will no longer be budget devices...

Hey I was wondering what type of iPhone case can fit the umidigi a11
Is the phone heavy? I really need a new phone
Does it last
Does it have a proprietary native call recorder on the call dialer screen?
A nice looking phone, but sadly a downgraded specs..
I think it's an upgrade on the Umidigi A9
But the power 5 though that thing is a real downgrade
I have the og umidigi power and I did the test and it’s a downgrade for me as well. I’m still going to get this phone though because I love the it looks
My phone has a fingerprint on the side too
I want the A9 pro .. but will hope to get the A11
I almost ordered the wrong thing. Found out it didn't make a huge difference so I would've been fine making that mistake anyway. 🙃 A9 is only slightly worse for extremely lazy people. Don't know what happened to a10 though. 🤔
I am using it
I think you missed something,I don't think Umidigi have a fingerprint
Some do, some don't. This phone does have the fingerprint.
Is there any reviews on the a11 pro max?
My A9 gets 151 single and 757 on mult core at geekbench
Does it have fm radio?
I have a triple camera set up to

@@johnmichaelverdadero4543 yes I tried that, I tried so many different videos to see what I can do, and 99% of them say it's a IMEI blocked

Not 100% blocked IMEI, it's not blacklist because I already paid off the phone, and I can use it for wifi but if I wanna change my sim to that Umidigi, it says "no sim card" msg
Does it have an fm tuner?
Bro what’s better a32 5 g or this
I'm a big fan of umidigi...
R u and kalipez still affiliated?
Yes! We still work together and he’s been helping me with other projects. He also recently created his own tech channel.
I already have this phone but I need it hard cover please can it be possible for you guys to bring it for me
Ok what's your address

Phone is shaped like an IPhone 12.
There is a variant of the phone called the Umidigi A11 Pro Max.. so some correlation there.
I want that
its 109F????
That's good umidigi is making new phones
Always nice to have plenty of budget options!
@@KevinBreeze I Love you!!!
Nice phone
A9 pro is better. Will wait for A11pro
My Moto G Stylus(2020) and G7 Power scored higher.
Kevin Debreeze
No NFC
Umidigi makes nice devices.
มีภาษาไทยไหม
Cant stand this Tall and Narrow trend. They should just call that the womens model and have a wide phone for men.
Screen looks miserable. It cant't be good in that price.
What do you think it is, quicken loans?
Umidigi power 5 better and with same price
Lol helio G25?
Bad phone umidigi a5pro
