UMIDIGI has finally announced the final
specs for the highly anticipated UMIDIGI Z2 & Z2 Pro flagship phones. The
main selling points for the UMIDIGI Z2 Series are the gradient twilight back
cover, the Mediatek Helio P60 CPU, four cameras consisting of 16MP+8MP combos
on the back and front, along with the fastest 15W wireless charging.
The UMIDIGI Z2 & Z2 Pro both sport 6.2-inch
displays with a 19:9 aspect ratio and Full HD+ (1080 x 2246) resolution with a
reported screen-to-body ratio of up to 90%. The smartphone also features
7000-series aluminum frame and four-sided glass body, which enables easy
wireless charging.
As most will notice, the Z2 series inspired by
Huawei P20’s lineup, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as Huawei phones do
look stunning. The UMIDIGI Z2 series flagship comes in three colors: Black,
Twilight and Phantom; with the twilight and phantom versions sport an
innovative gradient color finish. Dimensions wise, the Z2 & Z2 Pro both
measure 153.4 x 74.4 x 8.3 mm.
The UMIDIGI Z2 Pro is powered by a Mediatek Helio
P60 chipset coupled with multi-core AI Processing Unit. What’s more interesting
though, is the supports for dual fast charging, which means you can charge your
device wirelessly at 15W – the fastest in the world. The wireless charging pad
made available for UMIDIGI Z2 Pro could be used for charging other Qi
compatible phones. The UMIDIGI Z2 series can be fully charged within 70 minutes
via 18W fast cable charging while it’s around 100 minutes with the 15W fast
wireless charging.
There are two variants for the UMIDIGI Z2 series:
- UMIDIGI Z2: 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM
- UMIDIGI Z2 Pro: 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM
All the variants of the UMIDIGI Z2 series feature a
microSD card slot and run stock Android 8.1 Oreo out of box.
The UMIDIGI Z2 series is the first phone in the
company’s portfolio to feature dual camera setups on both sides. The main rear
camera features a 16MP f/2.0 aperture Samsung sensor, coupled with a secondary
8MP, which is specially designed for shooting in the dark in combination with
the 16MP main camera to take clearer photos in low-light conditions. The dual
rear cameras can capture impressive bokeh effect shots by effectively blurring
the background and focusing more on the subject. With the help of AI, the
UMIDIGI Z2 Pro can potentially shoot even better photos in low-light conditions
while retaining lots of details.
The dual 16MP+8MP Sony selfie cameras are also
capable at snapping pictures with bokeh effect thanks to AI. The UMIDIGI Z2
series includes support for face unlock through the front camera. The UMIDIGI
Z2 series comes with rear fingerprint scanners and features supports for global
bands, it supports 7 network modes and 36 global bands, dual-SIM (supports 4G
LTE in both slots simultaneously) and has an USB Type-C port. Additionally, the
UMIDIGI Z2 Pro also packs NFC.
Presales for the UMIDIGI Z2 will start soon at US$ 249.99 with a US$ 50 off discount at Gearbest, meanwhile presales for the UMIDIGI
Z2 Pro will start around a month later.
