UMIDIGI has
officially announced the UMIDIGI A3. The phone has been in the news quite
frequently in recent times as a result of its impressive specs lineup. The A3

several other features on the internals which makes it potentially stand out
among its contemporaries.

top left corner. There is a LED flash under the camera as well as a
rear-mounted fingerprint sensor at the middle.

MT6739 processor with a clock frequency of 1.5GHz. The processor is paired with
2GB of RAM while there is 16GB of internal storage onboard. The storage can be
expanded up to 256GB via a dedicated microSD card slot. Perhaps, one of the
most spectacular features on the device is the triple slots for two SIM cards
and a microSD card. In this way, you won’t have to sacrifice any of the two SIM
slots. Furthermore, the SIM slots both support dual 4G VoLTE. The device also
comes with global LTE bands including Band 20 and so, can be used in several
countries around the world.
