This is my second Umidigi tablet. I have the G5 Tab, and was pleasantly surprised with it, so I figured I should try the upgraded "gaming" A15. I've been using it for about 8 days, here are my thoughts...
In the box is the usual Umidigi accessories. They included the charging cable, brick, SIM tray pin, and stylus. The tablet comes with a pre-installed screen protector as well as a folio case. Popped in and SIM and data worked right from the start. No configuring, which makes me happy. I'm with Virgin Mobile, can confirm it works on Bell/Virgin.
First thing I noticed was the vibrant and better resolution screen. The whites just pop. I feel almost as if the whites are too white, and the rest of the colours, while good, seem a bit darker. Doesn't affect my use yet, as I haven't taken this tablet into the sunlight yet. In the display settings there is a colour wheel as well as presets, I just haven't got around to messing with it yet.
The tablet is nice and quick. Real snappy. The 8GB of ram is noticeable when opening and flipping between apps. I haven't had a slowdown yet in that regard.
I installed 5 games. Call of duty mobile, pubg, Xbox game pass, and a couple sports games. Call of duty was ok, found when loading into levels it almost seemed to studder a bit till it got going in the match, then smoothed out. Pubg was great. Played a few rounds, no crashing, hitches, issues. Xbox game pass worked well, I have decent Internet so it wasnt too bad in lag terms. I blutoothed a controller, played Lego Fortnite for much longer than I anticipated for the test. I almost forgot I was on a tablet and not my Xbox.
Movies and videos are great. I use this a lot for watching Plex and my IPTV. The sound is what really catches my attention. The stereo speakers are loud and sound great. I don't know why all tablets aren't like this! I will buy these tablets just on the speakers alone.
If I were to make one request, it would be a case selection. I really like this tablet a lot and would love to use it at work. I'm a mechanic so having a rugged style case would be ideal. I'm hoping some variations come out soon.
With all that said, I do recommend this tablet at this price point. I don't see where you will find anything as good for the value and performance of this unit.
