Great phone with lots of features
Umidigi has been my cell phone manufacturer of choice for many years now. I have used their A-series and their F-series phones in the past.The A15 feels good and solid in my hands. I bought the graphite black colour and it looks great. It comes with a clear case, pre-applied screen protector and 20W fast charging brick with a double-sided USB-C cable. When you turn it on the phone is running on Android 13. Apps, videos and games run seemlessly and the colours are very radiant with 1650x720 resolution. You get 8GB of RAM (expandable to 16GB) and 256GB of storage (expandable to 1TB.) The camera does a very good job taking videos up to 1080p, 30fps. There is a triple camera on the back that allows you to take normal photos, wide angle and macro. There are over 10 options under the settings with sub-options for the camera which is impressive for a phone in this price range. The main camera is 64 MP. The selfie camera is 16 MP. The battery lasts me at least 2 days (5000mAh). The phone has NFC. The fingerprint reader works well and fast. It has a headphone jack which I appreciate as sometimes I use wired headphones when my earbuds are charging. This phone also has a face unlock which works as expected. It does not have 5G capability.Something that Umidigi has been doing in the last few years is adding a customizable key on the left side of the phone. This button allows for 3 quick options that will open frequently used apps of your choosing. The phone comes with a FM radio that does not require headphones to use. Phones from other manufacturers in this price range have a fraction of the features, speed and storage. I would recommend.

This was a replacement for my teen's iPhone, which she completely trashed. It has made it to the 3-month mark with no cracks or chips despite a relatively basic case. The battery is still going strong despite my daughter is propensity for using it well beyond what would be considered reasonable by any rational human being.

It did lose a star because there's a little hiccup in the hardware/software somewhere that means you have to go in and change the data settings manually. It does not correctly pulled them from the Sim card. However, the manufacturer did send out an email explaining the problem about 48 hours after delivery. I'd already figured out the problem, but it's nice to know that they're aware of it as a bug. If we were a little less tech savvy around here it might have been more frustrating.

Bought a G1 MAX first, never worked.. UMIDIGI more than helpful was very frustrating... they didn't want to refund my money, they told me to choose another cell phone for the warranty because they didn't have any G1 MAX available, BUT I had to paid for the replacement (new) phone, they said once I paid for the second phone, an A15, they will refund my money. I paid $199 for the A15, and after a few days I received on my bank a refund for the 1st phone, $154.99. So I was happy ... They finally paid me the 1st phone.
I used the A15 for a couple of weeks and again, the A15 started acting up like the G1 MAX, dropping calls, echoes, not connecting to wi-fi, so I tried to return it. To my surprise I couldn't return it because UMIDIGI applied the 1st refund of the G1 MAX for $154.99 onto the 2nd phone! WHAT? .. So... I paid $154.99 for the G1 MAX and $199.99 for the A15, in total I paid $355 and I only got back the $154.99 from the first phone (G1 MAX) and I won't get the $199.99 from the 2nd phone (A15) because UMIDIGI instead of refund the money on the first order (G1 MAX), they refunded the money on the second order (A15),... So, I had to call Amazon customer service asking for help. They understood my problem and apologized many times for the inconvenience, they help me, not the way I wanted, but they helped me. Amazon gave me a "credit" for the amount of the 2nd phone (A15) .. so, somehow I was the one loosing, because now I didn't get all my money back, and I had to spend the 199.99 on other things within Amazon .... So.... Do I recommend UMIDIGI .. NO ... NO ... NO... Not the phones , much less their Customer Service.... DON'T BUY FROM THESE GUYS YOU. PERIOD.

 Sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, posseggo già altri dispositivi umidigi quindi conosco il buon rapporto qualità/prezzo, il mio unico dubbio era la ricezione ma devo dire che anche sotto quel punto di vista va molto bene, con sim fastweb il telefono prende benissimo come avveniva con il mio ex telefono asus. Il telefono è veloce, non si è mai impuntato anche facendo più operazioni in contemporanea. La batteria dura tranquillamente due giorni con un utilizzo costante e la carica veloce è una gran comodità. La fotocamera fa delle buone foto, ovviamente non è indicata per chi cerca una fotocamera eccellente che si trova in un telefono di fascia alta, la modalità 64megapixel si deve scegliere manualmente ma credo che utilizzerò sempre la modalità automatica con HD-auto che fa delle foto perfette per le mie esigenze. Il collegamento wireless con Android auto dell'autoradio è avvenuto in maniera veloce e non si blocca mai, anche l'hotspot non mi ha dato nessun problema. Poi tutte le funzioni di Android 13 aiutano l'utilizzo, manca solamente la possibilità di affiancare più applicazioni per utilizzarle in contemporanea, anche se in realtà è una funzione mai usata in uno smartphone, la trovo più utile in un tablet. In generale sono pienamente soddisfatto e lo consiglierei di sicuro.
EDIT
Ho ricevuto un aggiornamento del sistema, adesso l'opzione 64megapixel della fotocamera è più facilmente selezionabile, allego lo screenshot.. Molto bene, felice che il prodotto è supportato con aggiornamenti

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a gamble to get a good-to-great budget phone for the price - but there are drawbacks
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
Size: A15Colour: blackVerified Purchase
The Umidigi A15 is my 4th Umidigi phone purchase.
The company is known for producing phones with very generous specifications at budget prices, essentially offering flagship specs at less-than-flagship costs. This is true of the A15, as it has been with the F1, Bison, & Bison Pro I previously purchased.

It is important to note, however, that often these phones perform at levels less than you would expect given the tech spec sheet they arrive with. Conversely, they have often performed better than other comparably priced counterparts from well-known brands (Looking at you LG, Samsung). Confusing? Hopefully the rest of this review will provide clarity. Keep reading.

Primarily, this will be most evident to end-users when using the camera on their device. If you compare their camera performance to other premium brands such as Apple, Samsung, or Sony you will find that despite the high megapixel count the photos you take will lack the software optimizations that their competitors include - you may get all the pixels of the 64MP photo, but the clarity, focus, and color levels often do not match the quality that even lower megapixel cameras of premium brand phones achieve.

Operating in conditions like low light or using features such as macro mode may make those differences more prominent and pronounced in some cases. This has improved over time with their handsets, but users should be aware that this difference in photo quality exists and will be difficult to overcome even for power or pro-level camera users.

Another area in which you may find that performance seems to deviate from the stated specifications is in speed of multi-tasking and graphical processing capabilities.

I have done a side by side speed check of similar operations with this handset vs. OnePlus 8 Pro 5G and despite the 12GB of RAM on that handset being 25% less powerful compared to the A15 it was considerably and consistently slower than the OnePlus.
This is more an anecdotal, unscientific comparison, but if one benchmarks this via Antutu or other performance benchmarking apps, I would expect the results would be consistent with my observations.

The build quality of the A15 is acceptable but not exceptional. When the handset has been active and is warmed up, you can put moderate pressure on the screen lens for a couple seconds and feel a small amount of malleability and compression occur, meaning it has glass that is not of a higher mohs hardness you would expect from a similar competitor offering, and I have found their screens slightly more easily broken than other Gorilla Glass lenses and LCD's on some models. The A15 has fared well so far, as has my F3S. An F1 and an S3 Pro model I owned didn't stand up to some modest mishandling over time, but perhaps Umi is, as in other ways I mention in this review, making consistent improvement.

A word of caution regarding the warranty and build quality of Umidigi products. Of the 4 I have received, one had a broken microphone out of the box that even failed their factory QC feature check. Despite months of back and forth with Umidigi, they refused to offer to take it back to repair or send me a replacement. They ghosted me after 2 months of consistent messaging on eBay, where I purchased it from their official account. After doing some research, this was not a unique experience and many forums will tell you that as a general rule, except for the immediate return grace period there is no recourse for any product failure or defect.

OS Updates are seldom for these phones and I would not expect them to be updated past the initial Android version. Security updates have been relatively non-existent in the past. However, Umi does seem to be improving in this regard and more frequent updates for more handsets have been being released in the last 12 months than in prior years and Umi has made statements that they are working on more consistent software fixes and updates across their lineup.
The lack of updates doesn't really bother me, but temper your expectations if you are hoping for long-lasting device support.

All that is not to say that I haven't been happy with their product for the price, when it worked out of the box. Despite the lackluster camera features, their phones have been a good value for the price and performance has been acceptable if not impressive for the budget.

One very welcome highlight of these phones is the 5,000+ mAh batteries that they contain. Though charging on previous devices has not been extremely fast, they do last an impressive length of time and after a year on 2 of them with moderate to heavy use they discharged pretty slowly. This has been one of my favorite qualities in these phones and I have nothing but praise for Umidigi in this regard. Comparably, OnePlus and Samsung handsets I have owned have fared considerably worse on battery life past the 1 year mark, although charging them is slightly faster.

Umidigii speaker quality hasn't left much to be desired and is better than other budget handsets in the same price range, but some users have complained of problems with handset microphones on various models. This was my failure point on my 1 lemon, but as with most electronics of this nature, if it works on day 1 and is acceptably cared for, you likely won't have issues.

Their screen brightness is somewhat lower at maximum setting than other OLED phones and less visible in direct sunlight, but this has not been a deal breaker in my experience. You will find if you like a brighter screen experience that anything less than 80%+ is essentially useless, but this doesn't seem to be a huge drain on the battery life, which may in and of itself be an indicator of the brightness level range generally.

The fingerprint readers have been placed intuitively on their handsets and work modestly well, but they pale in comparison to Apple, Samsung, and OnePlus. I get about 25% success rate when using them, and often default to using the alternative unlock method after multiple attempts.

In summary, there are drawbacks to purchasing budget phones in terms of performance and quality, but Umidigi has stuck a fairly impressive value-for-money compromise and if the unit you receive works and you donr require after-purchase support you'll likely feel good about your purchase if you have reasonable expectations.
But if you do get the occasional lemon, you'll have wasted your money and no amount of time with their customer service support will likelynchange that.

So put the phone through an extensive evaluation during the return period and do not hesitate to return it if it isn't what you wanted.

If you don't return it, you'll likely feel like you've gotten a good deal of phone for not a great deal of money.

Oh, and it comes with a case and screen protector and a very solid AC charger and cable in a very attractive box. Those are all very welcome additions at this price and all are very satisfactory quality and hold up quite well in my experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a gamble to get a good-to-great budget phone for the price - but there are drawbacks
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
The Umidigi A15 is my 4th Umidigi phone purchase.
The company is known for producing phones with very generous specifications at budget prices, essentially offering flagship specs at less-than-flagship costs. This is true of the A15, as it has been with the F1, Bison, & Bison Pro I previously purchased.

It is important to note, however, that often these phones perform at levels less than you would expect given the tech spec sheet they arrive with. Conversely, they have often performed better than other comparably priced counterparts from well-known brands (Looking at you LG, Samsung). Confusing? Hopefully the rest of this review will provide clarity. Keep reading.

Primarily, this will be most evident to end-users when using the camera on their device. If you compare their camera performance to other premium brands such as Apple, Samsung, or Sony you will find that despite the high megapixel count the photos you take will lack the software optimizations that their competitors include - you may get all the pixels of the 64MP photo, but the clarity, focus, and color levels often do not match the quality that even lower megapixel cameras of premium brand phones achieve.

Operating in conditions like low light or using features such as macro mode may make those differences more prominent and pronounced in some cases. This has improved over time with their handsets, but users should be aware that this difference in photo quality exists and will be difficult to overcome even for power or pro-level camera users.

Another area in which you may find that performance seems to deviate from the stated specifications is in speed of multi-tasking and graphical processing capabilities.

I have done a side by side speed check of similar operations with this handset vs. OnePlus 8 Pro 5G and despite the 12GB of RAM on that handset being 25% less powerful compared to the A15 it was considerably and consistently slower than the OnePlus.
This is more an anecdotal, unscientific comparison, but if one benchmarks this via Antutu or other performance benchmarking apps, I would expect the results would be consistent with my observations.

The build quality of the A15 is acceptable but not exceptional. When the handset has been active and is warmed up, you can put moderate pressure on the screen lens for a couple seconds and feel a small amount of malleability and compression occur, meaning it has glass that is not of a higher mohs hardness you would expect from a similar competitor offering, and I have found their screens slightly more easily broken than other Gorilla Glass lenses and LCD's on some models. The A15 has fared well so far, as has my F3S. An F1 and an S3 Pro model I owned didn't stand up to some modest mishandling over time, but perhaps Umi is, as in other ways I mention in this review, making consistent improvement.

A word of caution regarding the warranty and build quality of Umidigi products. Of the 4 I have received, one had a broken microphone out of the box that even failed their factory QC feature check. Despite months of back and forth with Umidigi, they refused to offer to take it back to repair or send me a replacement. They ghosted me after 2 months of consistent messaging on eBay, where I purchased it from their official account. After doing some research, this was not a unique experience and many forums will tell you that as a general rule, except for the immediate return grace period there is no recourse for any product failure or defect.

OS Updates are seldom for these phones and I would not expect them to be updated past the initial Android version. Security updates have been relatively non-existent in the past. However, Umi does seem to be improving in this regard and more frequent updates for more handsets have been being released in the last 12 months than in prior years and Umi has made statements that they are working on more consistent software fixes and updates across their lineup.
The lack of updates doesn't really bother me, but temper your expectations if you are hoping for long-lasting device support.

All that is not to say that I haven't been happy with their product for the price, when it worked out of the box. Despite the lackluster camera features, their phones have been a good value for the price and performance has been acceptable if not impressive for the budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soddisfatto

Sono abbastanza soddisfatto dal mio acquisto, ampia memoria, sistema android aggiornato, molto veloce, è leggero e ha un batteria incredibile che si carica velocemente e si scarica lentamente.
L'unico problema del prodotto è il bluetooth che ogni tanto "muore", cioè si disconette ed è uno stress ricollegarlo, spero che venga risolto il problema nei futuri modelli.
Lo consiglio per chi cerca un telefono ad abbastanza basso budget.
