There are more Chinese smartphone manufacturers these days than the number of fingers on your hands. One thing they all have in common is providing high end specs at low costs. However, the UMi Rome is probably one of the best when you compare the kind of specs you get for the price.
The smartphone has a design that almost clones the Samsung Galaxy Note5. It has the same curved back as well. The Rome packs a slightly smaller 5.5″ display compared to the 5.7″ display on the Note5 though. The resolution too is lower as it is a 720p panel but an AMOLED one nonetheless. It also has a curved 2.5D curved glass display.
It is powered by a 64bit octa core Mediatek MT6753 processor that’s clocked in at 1.3GHz and 3GB of RAM. There’s 16GB of internal memory but they haven’t made it clear whether the smartphone has a microSD card slot or not. The primary camera is a 13 Megapixel Sony IMX164 sensor while there is a front facing 2 Megapixel camera which has an LED flash as well.
The device has a slim waistline at 7.9mm. It will support 4G LTE bands around the world and will have a 2500 mAH battery. The device will run on Android Lollipop 5.1 when it releases in China in December for a price of US$89.99 which translates to roughly around Rs 5,950 which is really good value for money. As of now, the company hasn’t revealed plans to release it in India but we could expect it to release sometime shortly after either.
