UMIDIGI’s most awaited Crystal bezel-less phone is
finally here after months of downtime. UMIDIGI seem to have perfected the
device both on the outside and inside in this interval of time and is now ready
to launch it.
The UMIDIGI Crystal comes sporting a 5.5-inch Full
HD display by SHARP, coated in 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Thanks to
these factors the smartphone is able to use about 30% less energy to reproduce
the same image. The 2.5D glass coating also extends to the back of the
smartphone, giving the Crystal a super smooth look.
Under the hood we find a Mediatek octa-core A53 CPU
clocked at 1.5 GHz paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory, which
should be plenty enough to run most apps and games smoothly, with very good
multi-tasking. There’s also a cheaper version of the Crystal which will instead
come with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a quad-core Mediatek chipset clocked
at 1.5 Ghz. Both variants will feature a good sized 3000 mAh capacity battery.
UMIDIGI’s Crystal sports 13MP and 5MP cameras on the
back, with one featuring a wide lens and the other a telephoto one. Together
they can help capturing photos with more details in low light conditions or
applying the bokeh effect.
The UMIDIGI Crystal will be running the latest
Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, meanwhile the fingerprint scanner has been
placed at the back just below the two rear facing cameras. You can now
subscribe to the presale event over at UMIDIGI’s official website. Presale will
begin on August 15th at 12:00 PM CET, with a starting price tag of US$ 99.99 for
the cheaper version; with shipping already on the 20th.
