On UMI ZERO 2's facebook page we can now see a picture showing “Duplex Life, the best from UMI”.
• What does duplex life mean? A dual-screen phone? I remember the first dual-screen phone was from Yota phone2, where one screen is made by Samsung and the back side has an EPD screen.
• The EPD screen is using E ink technology. If you look at Kindle from Amazon, then you will know how the screen looks like.
• The thing with this screen is that it will be perfectly readable even in the brightest sunshine: Fiction, Facebook, Twitter, news, RSS-feeds, blogs, mail, messaging etc.
• All in all, it’s likely that UMI ZERO 2 going to be the world’s second dual-screen smartphone made with EPD. And it seems that UMI will continue with a SAMSUNG display after the first UMI ZERO.
• The official retail price is still unknown, but could get high.
PS. This is an very early engineering sample, it seems that this one still doesn't have the dual display!
Specifications (still unconfirmed)
- MTK6752 SoC 1.7GHz Octa-core
- Mali-T760 GPU
- 13 megapixel rear / 8 megapixel front
- 5.2 inch Full HD 1080p Samung display

UMI Zero 2 To Feature 4GB of RAM & Helio X20?
Although we had heard a few rumors about the upcoming UMI Zero flagship a few weeks back, recently, there hasn't been much news about this device. However, earlier today, we came across another piece of information about the UMI Zero 2 flagship. It is said that the device will come with 4GB of RAM on board, which if true, will be a first for a UMI smartphone.
In fact, even today, there aren't many 4GB RAM phones in the market. If this does turn out to be true, UMI will join the ranks of the few premium smartphone makers who have released such a device. This much amount of RAM means you no longer have to worry about lag during multi-tasking as it will handle any task thrown at it with ease.
As for the processor, the UMI Zero 2 will reportedly come with a Helio X series chipset. Given that the company is adding 4GB RAM inside, its likely that the phone will feature the deca-core Helio X20 chipset for maximum performance. However, this may drive up the cost unnecessarily, and hence, the company may decide to settle with the MT6795 Helio X10 octa-core chip. Even this processor is quite capable of powering flagship devices, so it won't be disappointing to see it inside the Zero 2.
UMI seems to be making a smart decision by using the Helio X series processor instead of Snapdragon 810. Despite the claims from Qualcomm, Snapdragon 810 is still believed to overheat when used for a long time. As a result, this chip has often been the target of consumer criticism. So, using the powerful Helio X series chip (either X10 or X20) seems to be the right decision at the moment.
As per the previous rumors, UMI could be working on two variants of the flagship UMI Zero 2, one with the dual display and another with a real leather back cover, like the one on the LG G4. The phone will reportedly come with a 5.2-inch QHD panel, 20MP camera and the new USB Type-C port.
Unfortunately, we have no further information about the UMI Zero 2 at the moment, but we will keep you guys updated with new details in the coming weeks.

I'm planning to buy this phone, is there any weakness i should know before?

Looks great!

UMI ZERO 2 will come with premium Liquid metal body‏
We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming UMi Zero 2 flagship. The latest information on the handset says that the phone will feature 4GB of RAM, which will make it the first such device from the company till date. While the specs are turning out to be quite impressive so far, earlier today we came across some new information about this upcoming handset. And it’s quite interesting too.
According to the latest rumors, the UMi Zero 2 will come with a premium Liquid Metal body. I am sure you would have heard of this alloy which is reportedly tougher than any other material used for a smartphone housing. Its extreme durability and strength has made this alloy quite popular. In fact, Apple has been using the same Liquid Metal for some of its small components. Even though its been years since we first heard about this alloy, smartphones have not yet used this material on a wide scale. In fact, only the Turning Phone can boast of featuring a Liquid Metal body till now. So, it would really be surprising to see a local Chinese manufacturer like UMi use this material for its own device.
Of course, nothing is confirmed so far, so its still very early to make conclusions about the phone's body. Even if the phone doesn't come with Liquid Metal body, other specifications are sure to impress the masses, especially when priced right. Let’s wait for more information about the UMi Zero 2 which should hopefully debut sometime before the end of this year.

Leaked News:
This season has seen a lot of big phones. Some are even commenting that this is the season that will mark the return of the big phone. Is that true? Well, so far, it seems so.
UMi has been on the forefront of technology ever since its inception. This season, they have successfully launched the UMi Super (including its EURO Edition) and of course, the UMi London (which has just started shipping for UMi's buyers). What next then? The UMi Max!
What will the UMi Max be about? Let’s imagine from the name! Maybe it will come with a 6-inch screen. Not enough? Maybe it’ll feature an AMOLED display! So no more sub-pat LCD displays on your big phone. Anyway, UMi Max is going to be a phone that is made to do big things.
After using a lot of big phones, including the Xiaomi Mi Max, LeEco Le Max 2 and the Nubia Z11 Max, they thought the big phone market needed something that’s truly special and made with the consumer in mind. The next will be UMi Max?​

UMi Max Walk in front of Iphone 7
Few days back UMi revealed to the world our upcoming project, the UMi Max. The UMi Max is the result of the increasing requirement of a big phone that does not suck. What that means is that the UMi Max will be a truly ‘max’ phone with everything big.
When UMi revealed the Max, they mentioned maybe it is going to be a phone with a 6-inch screen. Bear in mind, to ensure proper screen utilization and epic contrast rates, maybe UMi will choose an AMOLED panel over the standard IPS display (for example, the display on Mi Max).
Except screen,what else you will think about from the name of UMi Max?
UMi Max maybe will go one step further and will likely come with 6GB of RAM. As many of you may know, even the Mi Max does not offer 6GB of RAM.
Not only that, UMi Max walk in front of Iphone 7! we are also considering shipping the phone with 128GB of on board storage so you don’t need to worry about running out of space!

Samsung Galaxy Note7 Declare War to UMi Max
Samsung announced a flagship in the Samsung Note7. It is the first phone from Samsung to feature iris unlock, but there is a little bit of innovation for Note 7. However, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 will cost a meaty $849.99 which makes us wonder… WHY, SAMSUNG! How can we afford?
Reacting to this, UMi honchos revealed that their upcoming UMi Max will be very similar to the Note7. But at the same time, will be made for the consumer with the price and experience in the mind. The executives said that the appearance, memory, battery life, USB Type-C interfaces, of the UMi Max will be comparable with the Samsung Galaxy Note7.
Design:
The UMi Max will have a symmetrical aesthetic appearance which will be staged, ergonomic. It will be comparable to the magnesium alloy technology used on the iPhone, which brings an excellent feel and sense of visual impact.
RAM:
Taking into account the kind of requirements of today’s world, the UMi Max will support a large RAM quantity (possibly 6GB RAM) along with a microSD slot for memory expansion to PK Note 7.
Battery:
UMi Max will go beyond what the Note7 has on offer. And it will have exclusive saving battery method. Thus, you can expect hours and hours of usage time without having to worry about battery life one bit!
USB Type-C:
ForSamsung, this is the first time to use Type-C, but for UMi, it’s not the first time.
so we are no alien to the technology. And of course, the UMi Max will support USB Type-C!
Price:
We must learn to deal with products and consumers. We want to make consumers our friends, rather than to earn money from them. The UMi max will give you a surprisingly lucrative price and an experience beyond satisfactory!

UMI MAX: 5,5" FHD, HELIO P10, Android 6, 3Gb Ram,16Gb Rom, 4000mAh, Fingerprint
I am waiting for mine now. Ordered on aliexpress.

Hi, just received my Max
Some pics:
It's really a Super cutting some memory, cpu speed and using a cheap 5V 1A charger instead of Pump Express 3 found in bundle with super.
Balanced device, with poor camera (same as Super), same battery life expected, same performance for dailu use (1,8Ghz is enough for all stuffs).
Battery circuit is able to use Pump Express 3, so if you use Super charger you will have full charge in less than 2 hours, otherwise are necessary more than 4 hours with bundle one..
I don't know why the put such charger in the bundle...

Umi will push on Andorid 7 update for their P10 chipset smartphone Series!!

Elephone Z1 exposure more configuration
With the recent exposure of Z1 spy photos, more details have been officially confirmed.
As the final smartphone that will be released at the end of 2016 , Z1's strong point should not be underestimated.
Z1 is equipped with 16nm Helio P20 chip, which is the first elephone supported by P20 .It runs Android 7.0 out of box, and 6 GB of RAM +64 GB of ROM allows worry-free operation and more robust performance .
Z1 fuselage is using a superb glamorous color back cover production process to make it more compelling, and it certainly live up to the expectation of providing the perfect phone that you will fall for it at the first sight .
In addition, Elephone z1 will be using Samsung's camera, we believe it will enable good experience to take pictures
More info as soon as will be available: http://www.elephone.hk/

Elephone Z1 will be equipped with USB Type-C
Since 2015, USB-C has been widely adapted due to its many advantages, such as charging speed is being significantly improved and it can charge bidirectionally . In many models such as the new flagships of Huawei and OnePlus you could see this design.
Recently Elephone released the news that they will use USB Type C in their new flagship -- Z1. This is the third model of Elephone that comes with Type C, the first 2 are model P9000 and M3.
Elephone Z1 will be equipped with 16nm Helio P20 processor and 6+64 GB super large storage. Judging from the leaked picture , pretty cool design on the back with lumia waves, perfectly shows the combination of strength and beauty.
Will be this flagship impressive or not?

Elephone Z1 with 6GB RAM，try running 40 APPs together!
6GB RAM is practical or just a gimmick? Well, many people doesn't really know what 6GB RAM means.
Just imagine if 40 cars running side by side in a narrow traffic lane, how crowd and slow it would be.
Then 6GB RAM is just like a traffic lane on which 40 cars could gallop side by side
Elephone Z1 using DDR4 and 6GB RAM and 64GB ROM, this could not only meet your needs of internal storage, but also provide the content of high running speed.
With Elephone Z1 you could run 40 APPs at the same time without any lag. So that you could forget the task killer and slow operation for good.
Try running 40 APPs on your current phone simultaneously, and see what would happen.

Why it is amazing? 16nm technology chip -- Helio P20 in Elephone Z1
Elephone Z1 excited our users not only by the gorgeous looking, but also by the high-end configuration with which model Z1 performs smoothly even under ultra-heavy workload.
Inside of Elephone Z1 there is a 16nm-transistor-technology chip -- Helio P20. What is 16nm-transistor-technology? Why Helio P20 is amazing?
With the advance of the times, everything is getting smaller, no exception for GPU
In terms of mathematics, 1nm = 0.000000001 meters, you may see a lot of zero after the decimal point, but no real feeling.
Let's make a comparison. The thickness of our nail is 0.1 mm (0.0001 m). Cut the nail into 100 thousands layers, the thickness of each layer is about 1nm.
There are many transistors in the chip of our phones. The size of the transistor is critical. Cause one chip can contain much more 16nm transistors compared with 22nm transistors.
The more transistors are placed, the more efficient the processor will be. At the same time, the power consumption could be lower with 16nm technology.
Just like a task assigned to many individuals. The efficiency increases along with the number of people. And the workload of each person will be less.
With the chip size reduction, it is also easier to install in mobile devices, to make thinner and lighter smartphones.

Elephone handsets are cheaply made garbage, My personal experience with the P6000 Pro and reading other peoples experience with their phones has educated me to stay well clear.

Love it
Elephone Z1 is one of the smartest phone with Helio P20. :good:

THOUGHTS ::
First and foremost let me start off by saying the finish on the silver MIX is stunning, when I first removed it from the box I was taken back... the mirror finish isnt something you come across often and it looks great. I will admit it is a finger print magnet, gorgeous nether the less.. definitely worth the upkeep.
The MIX's price point is definitely targeting the low end market, I've found it being sold generally around the $200 USD mark. Which I think is definitely a fair asking price for the device you receive. Obviously purchasing a device in the low range market your not getting all the bell's and whistles and that's to be expected.. however the Doogee MIX brings alot to the table.
Obviously the design is heavily inspired by the Xiaomi MIX and that's a good thing because the Doogee MIX looks great! The bezel-less screen really give's the device a premium feel. I've had no issues with one hand operation and I think the device is appropriately proportioned.
Now let's move onto the software, the Doogee MIX is running FreeMe OS.. for the most part I've enjoyed this android flavour. The UI is not heavily modified its nice and simple, the default launcher supports themes, little to no bloatware, OTA software updater. Includes everything you could possible want or need out the box. However there are a few minor bugs, I have brought these up to Doogee so I am hoping they will be resolved in a future software patch.. overall it's been a very positive experience, the bugs include the following:
Battery usage disabled in settings.
Battery percentage doesn't change colour according to light / dark text.
Android system webview refuses to update in the playstore.
Few minor translation errors in the settings app.
I'm not the biggest fan of the camera app, I really would like to see the UI revamped.. switching modes is a little clunky. However the camera does take decent photo's, I must say. There is little to no video stabilisation so that could definitely be improved. Overall all for a budget phone, it's pretty good... here's what the camera app looks like:
You can find some images I captured with the MIX below, I think they came out pretty good.. I was impressed.
The dual cameras don't operate as you might think, the secondary camera is used only in "blur" mode.. which as the name suggests blurs out the surrounding background of the image to increase focus on the subject.. I really feel like this was a missed opportunity, I really wish they did something more with the dual cameras. The blur effect can easily be done with software, really doesn't need a second camera to do so.
Ah of coarse the fingerprint scanner, almost forgot to mention this.. the finger print scanner is positioned on the front of the device on the bottom bezel. It doubles as a home button when the device is unlocked. In terms of accuracy its pretty good ! I personally don't use fingerprint scanners, I find them annoying... however it worked good in my tests, very accurate.. could be a little faster tho in my opinion.
Being a developer I naturally immediately requested kernel sources, Unfortunately tho Doogee have yet provided them.. which is a real shame because I have a working TWRP recovery for the device already, however unfortunately touch is not enabled in recovery. The only way to fix this is with kernel sources.. for the time being I have been using a OTG cable with a mouse to navigate TWRP. I really hope to see kernel sources release in the near future.
Overall my experience with the MIX has been positive, it does have a few quirks I must admit.. but considering how cheap the phone is they are easily excused. Performance is pretty dam good, camera is definitely adequate for photos, FreeMe OS is a really clean android flavour. Obviously sacrifices are made when purchasing budget phones... is it fair to compare the Doogee MIX to phones that cost double it's price ? Absolutely not...
