I have been looking forward to this phone for a while now, as I wanted something to replace my Umidigi A13Pro. It was still working, but had developed some issues with randomly muting, putting my calls on speaker, and google chrome freezing and not letting me re enter into a website.The appearance of this phone is basically the same as my old A13. It is also fairly typical of most Umidigi phones. It is a flat slab design, with a sharp edge and a flat front and back. There is a teardrop front camera, centered at the top of a large 6.7” display. The volume and power/fingerprint scanner button is on the right side, followed by a single button on the left, that can be configured as a shortcut key. It is a setup that works well. Nothing too special, but it doesn't look bad at all.In the back are three cameras with much thicker bezels than before. The silicone case does have a lip around the opening that matches the bezels to give it protection. But they do stick out from the phone quite a bit, as the device will not sit flat on a table. Because of this, the phone will sometimes flip to landscape because of the angle of the slant.The rest of the body features nice metal construction. This phone is available in three colours, and I chose the Glacier Blue. It is a nice colour, if a little bit dull. The other colour in purple seems very light as well, more silver with just a dash of colour. The silicone case has a black tint to it, further muting the colour of the phone. I wished they would come back with some sharper colours, such as the Blue I had in the A13Pro, or the orange colour I’ve seen in their G series. These are still niche phones, so third party case options to personalize your device are still very limited. Just having more colours to choose from would have been a nice idea.Even though the phone is quite large, single hand usage is possible. The fingerprint scanner is located perfect for the thumb for right handed users. Left handed users would have to unlock with their index finger. With one handed typing, I was still able to type on the keyboard efficiently. It is fairly light for its size, so it is easy to hand onto.The 6.7” screen is fairly good. The resolution and ppi count may be on the low end, but it is not noticeable during use. It is perfectly capable and fine for gaming, videos or browsing. The tear shape cutout is small, and not that intrusive into the viewing screen. One issue I found here is that the brightness is lower than the A13Pro. I usually set the brightness to the lowest level, but here that is almost black. I have to set it at 64% to get the equivalent brightness. The colours also appear a little more harsh than the old phone. It is apparent in comparing the icons that some colours appear darker.In terms of hardware, this runs on Android 13. I have always liked the fact that it is a stock Android with no bloatware. I assume with most Umidigi’s, there will be some minor updates, but likely it will not get upgraded to 14’s. Personally I don't think that is too much of a concern. Most phones last only 3-4 years, and Android 13 should still be very relevant then. My three year old A13Pro was on Android 11, and all apps still ran without issues.The phone comes with a 8gb ram, but through their memory expansion, it can be upgraded to 16gbs. During gameplay or watching videos, I did not experience any lagging issues.With the A13Pro, its major weakness was its camera. It was not great in low light settings and the colours often would come out really flat. Here the camera seems to have improved. The same photo is brighter, and the colours are more vibrant.Overall, this is a really good phone. After using it for a few days, I did not experience any problems with it. It is well built, and the specs are excellent. For $209.99, it is just a great deal.
