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

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.

First Snapdragon 820 processor phones
Le Max Pro with the previous Max phone looks very similar, Letv defined "bezel-less" "metal body", "no screw design," etc. also appears on the "Music Max Pro". Its biggest selling point is undoubtedly its processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is the latest and most high-end mobile processor, using a new 14-nanometer FinFET process technology, integrated Adreno 530 graphics processor, official data performance compared to previous generation up to 40%. And lower power consumption than the previous generation.
Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
The phone also is the first to employ Qualcomm's ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which doesn't require the use of buttons or sensors. As a result, the fingerprint reader can be embedded in a phone's screen. It is said sweat can avoid interference and other factors, compared to the previous fingerprint recognition technology is more accurate.
LeTV Max Pro also support Wi-Fi 802.11ad, and is the first model equipped with the technology. Not only will this provide for faster speeds while using a Wi-Fi network, it also supports the use of a wireless docking system. Users will be able to wirelessly connect the phone to a mouse and physical QWERTY keyboard.
Other hardware Le Max Pro uses a 6.33 inches 2K screen, with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM, rear main camera equipped with a Sony 21 million camera, front camera is using a 4 million super-pixel camera. Max Pro using Type-C interface, supports the latest Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology, charging faster, 2 times faster than the first generation QC fast charge technology. QC 3.0 technology also adds intelligent control technology, the transmission of electricity through the intelligent control algorithm, can reduce the fast charge to the battery damage, maximum extend mobile phone battery life.
What's your opinion about this Flagship terminal of Letv?

hope this letv le2 pro will make a hit.

Letv Le Max Pro, first Snapdragon 820 Octa core 4GB phone is coming on Jan.5,2016
Now i read the news from Chinese tech. It’s said Letv will usher Letv Le Max Pro smartphone on Jan. 5, 2016, and it will release the event at Caesars Palace in LA .
From sources the phone, codenamed the X910, will feature a 5.5-inch 2K display, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, 21 mega-pixel main camera and will be a true bezel-less design with 2.5D glass display.
Leaked renders of the phone show a very sleek design which has a curved rear and 3D curved display. The render also seems to show an impression on the chin where a home button fingerprint scanner may sit.
So will you look forward to this Letv Le Max Pro smartphone?

Looking forward to seeing this x910
My x800 sent this

I don't understand why these are rumors if they already showed it off at CES.

I thought that fingerprint scanners on screens were BS but I guess we're that far ahead already.

It's rumored Letv le Max pro will be on sale on Feb 23 at 3,699 RMB around $567. It seems it is so expensive for the users. And there is some interested rumor that Letv will release Letv Le Max Pro on Feb 23, before Xiaomi Mi5 Officially launches. So Xiaomi and Letv has become the best rival in smartphone industry.

Seems like this phone might never be released, at this rate....

Where to buy?

Anyone know what the story with pricing is? Was originally touted as $350 - 400 US but its no on sale at 600-700 which frankly isnt competitive with the GS7. Had my hopes set on this one but not at this kinda pricing.

I've just ordered one from an AliExpress seller for $AU360ish which is around $US275 the problem is though its only available in gold and 64gb. I decided for the money though I can overlook the gold and give it a go.

Elephone P20 will kill Oneplus 3?

I have found the amazing news, elephone will release the other high-end smartphone in P series, it's Elephone P20, this is the first time i heard about this new smartphone. It's said Elephone P20 will be amazing to come with Helio P20 processor, RAM 6GB. Right now, RAM 6GB smartphones are very rare, so Elephone p20 will lead to the new times of RAM 6GB smartphone. I have nice idea to compare Elephone p20 with Onpelus 3, so which one will be powerful?

6GB of RAM, WOW..they are aiming big this time. It sounds awesome, I cant wait to see it.

Elephone rocks
This is cool

Looks nice, hope is cheap too.

very good phone

which is the better Soc overall ? p20 or x25? why?

Is that amount of RAM really necessary? How much of it will you actually use on your phone. Even with the 3GB or 4GB ones, I personally rarely see full usage even with so much customization and other apps installed. So now they've gravitated from "who has the largest screen size" to "who has the most ridiculous amount of RAM (what you will never fully utilize)"
Asides from my mini rant on RAM size, the phone itself looks decent and so do the other specs.
Another article from the OP's review just came out yesterday: http://www.igeekphone.com/elephone-p20-smartphone-will-feature-ram-6gb-no-bezel-usb-type-c/
This is their second bezel-less phone that they released, the first being the Elephone S3 (which I own). WARNING there is a flaw in the S3, which I am guessing will also show up on the P20, and that is..... the simcard tray only supports: Tray 1 (Micro SIM) & Tray 2 (MicroSD OR Nano Sim). The OR is the big problem in my opinion....why would they make it "dual sim" but have it crippled like that? Could they not have made contacts for the MicroSD coming from the top and contacts for the Nano Sim coming from the bottom, so that both could be utilized simultaneously? That just baffles me

Powered by F1.7 large aperture from Elephone P20
Basic parameters of P20 has been exposured by Elephone shortly before.
Not only huge 6GB RAM and huge CPU of Helio P20, which can attract user's attention,
but also for the F1.7 large aperture
So what is outstanding of F1.7 large aperture?
Some photos taken by camera of a brand smartphone which is also applied with F1.7 large aperture.
It's not hard to see that the BlurBitmapEffect of pictures shot with F1.7 aperture is quite obvious, and more lights are provided by the naked environment.

Elephone P20---6GB, super large RAM,forget about the frame backlag .
Elephone P20 is not only the first elephone that runs 6GB RAM, but also one of the not-so-many smart phones
powered by 6GB RAM available in the market.
Elephone 6GB RAM adopts the principle of dual channel memory,which makes a change on the normal single channel memory.
The larger RAM in a phone is ,the more smooth using experience.Namely is , users can get more faster sufing on the apps, can
watch 4k high definition videos more smoothly, no pressure at multi-windowns at all. Got nothing to worry aboutthe operation
smoothness.
CPU Clock Speed can be up to 1866 MHz,it improves the band width by 70%,while reduces the power consumption by 50% .
We also know before that Elephone P20 equips with Helio P20 chipset,runs at android 6.0 system,protected by full metal body with
a 5.5" FHD display screen. 12 MP rear camera with f 1.7 super large aperture

X25 is better... X model is the eXtreme version. P is the Power version, so, it's a less powerful chip using similar architecture, that, being less powerful, uses less energy and it's cheaper.
P10 was based on X10 and now P20 is based on X20. In the meantime, X25 got released and it is an improvement over X20.
Looking at the specs of X25 here:
Built at 16nm, CPU with [email protected] + [email protected] + [email protected] and GPU is Mali-T880 running at 850MHz
Specs of P20 here:
Built 16nm, CPU with 8xA53, up to 2.3GHz (4 will be slower, no indication how much). GPU is Mali-T880 at 900MHz

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!!

The making of UMi Plus E – the Pinnacle of Craftsmanship
The perfect harmony of skilled and careful handcraft together with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to bring you premium craftsmanship.
This video lets you see how the unibody casing of the new UMi Plus E Onyx Black is being created from a single piece of 6000 series of aerospace-level aluminum.
VIDEO:
Nowadays, a lot of companies promise premium build quality on their smartphones, but not everyone manages to match the expectations when their product is released.
UMi, on the other hand, has always been confident about the quality of its products. The company showed different times in the past how their products are manufactured, showing materials and productive processes used in order to achieve the ideal result.
The UMi Plus E, the latest flagship made by the chinese company, makes no exception. UMi released today a video where you can see the full working process which transforms a piece of metal into the finely crafted body of the Plus E, In this case the Onyx Black variant, showing how much work and care is put behind every single unit.
More than 125 complex processes to making one Onyx Black UMi Plus E
The process starts when choosing the best aluminium alloy 6000 series, which is finely assembled to give the best possible tolerance when facing bumps and falls without deforming. Then, the body faces some CNC polishing processes, to give the smoothest and refined feeling to the touch: sandblasting, Anodic Oxidation, manual sand papering. After putting the logo and writings with laser, openings are made and the frame is finely worked, then the coating is applied, to give the final appearance of the device.
It’s a very simplified description of what happens in these 125 processes, but it gives the idea of how much care and attention is needed when crafting every single unit of the UMi Plus E, it’s a process which relies constantly on the experience and the craftsmanship of the artisans involved, something which would be impossible to achieve if only machines were used in the process.
UMi Plus E is world’s first Helio P20-powered smartphone. The phone packs an impressive 6GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card), a 5.5-inch fullHD (1920 x 1080) display made by Sharp, a 4,000mAh battery with PE+ Fast Charging support, a 13-megapixel PDAF Samsung snapper placed on the back of the UMi Plus E aerospace-class aluminum chase.
A fingerprint scanner (Touch ID 2.1) is also included, the device offers support for Cat. 6 4G LTE connectivity.

Looks like a great phone. A friend has the regular UMi Plus and it performs very well. The only issue with it is the GPS performance is very poor, it hops/stutters around a lot.
Does anyone know if the new chipset in the UMi Plus Extreme will address the GPS problem or is there an easy fix which can be applied to the UMi Plus Extreme? I'd like to purchase the UMi Plus Extreme but I need good GPS functionality as I rely on Google Navigation a lot whilst driving.

Not sure if 6GB of RAM will ever be utilized fully
