According to a recent leak, the Chinese manufacturer
UMIDIGI is soon going to launch a new model following the big success of the A5
Pro. The leaked poster says that it is will be named UMIDIGI X but that might
be a temporary name. According to the same poster, the phone is going to come
with an in-display fingerprint sensor, a feature that is mostly found in
expensive flagship devices. But according to UMIDIGI’s strategy until now, this
one should be part of the budget market segment.
Currently, in-display fingerprint readers can only
be applied to OLED displays so the UMIDIGI X will certainly come with one.
That’s great since OLED panels have more accurate colors with true black,
better contrast, and sometimes better brightness than common LCD panels. Also,
they are more power efficient most of the times since LCD panels have always-on
LEDs to function while OLED panels only light the portion of the display that’s
needed. Apart from the fingerprint reader, the poster shows that there is no
notch on the top. Does this mean that it could come with a fullview display and
a pop-up selfie camera like Xiaomi Mi 9T or OnePlus 7 Pro? We’ll investigate
and post any new information that comes up.
Of course, there is no launch date available right
now nor is the price. It is speculated that UMIDIGI would reveal the new device
in early August. In the meantime, UMIDIGI is globally recruiting 30 trial users
to test its smart devices UMIDIGI Ubeats, UMIDIGI Uwatch 2, and UMIDIGI Selfie
Stick (10 units each) to help improve the user experience. You can learn all
the latest news for UMIDIGI’s devices on their Facebook page and join the
giveaway on their official website.
