UMIDIGI’s next flagship killer will
launch on February 18th bringing 48MP camera and 5150mAh battery! We are
talking about the UMIDIGI S3 Pro that has been in the news for a while with
Chinese company wanting not only to catch up but also to get ahead of most of
its competitors. As one of the first smartphones in the world to feature the
48MP Sony IMX586 sensor, the upcoming flagship will land on February 18th on
Indiegogo, just in time for the MWC 2019. During the crowdfunding campaign, you
have the chance to get it 30% off at just US$ 269.99. At the same time, the
company released some real prototype photos to showcase its design.
Specs-wise, the UMIDIGI S3 Pro is one of the world’s
first smartphones to host the 48MP Sony IMX586 CMOS sensor. While the sensor
measures 1/2 inch, it also offers 0.8-micron pixel size that via pixel binning
it can offer a large 1.6-micron pixel when in shooting low light conditions.
There is also a secondary telephoto camera on board to obtain depth information
and provide 2x optical zoom. The front shooter stands at 20MP for
high-resolution selfies. Under the hood, the S3 Pro comes packed with a 5150mAh
battery and the AI Mediatek SoC Helio P70 accompanied by 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and
128GB of internal storage. Lastly, there is a 6.3″ FHD+ in-cell LTPS waterdrop
notch display. According to company information, it will run on Android 9 Pie.
If you are a big fan of photography and big battery,
the S3 Pro may be a better alternative to 48MP competitors like Honor View 20
and Huawei Nova 4 thanks to its affordable price. As stated above, the early
bird price for those of you who choose to back the Indiegogo campaign is just US$ 269.99, 30% off the official price! We expect more details to surface soon and
we’ll keep you posted.
