I'm happy someone's replying at all. Nothing looks worse than accusations that never get adressed. Because Umidigi phones are imported from China, it makes it a bit of a gamble, because exchanging a faulty phone may be extremely difficult. The last thing customers need is more insecurity. I'm very happy that the GPS works for someone, as for the pictures: It's slowly becoming clear that the cameras aren't very nice. Bad cameras are extremely common in Chinese phones but the ones in the S2 seem to be particularly bad. Part of this is the fact that you only show pictures that have been rezised, which still feel sort of "soft", hinting to a lack of detail and someone else posted a picture here which also looked quite bad (https://ibb.co/dxq836) and (https://ibb.co/hKZ1O6) - I do get more detail from my webcam. That's not good, considering how important cameras are on smartphones these days. I'd much MUCH rather pay 50$ more and have a good camera in my phone. Having said that, someone uploaded a very interesting review recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PgTBiV_Vec He says that the dual camera function is useless, though he claims it provides good detail, which makes me wonder what happened to the pictures Umidigi and that other guy posted. What I find very suspicious though: The S2 that this person tested looks very different from the pictures on the homepage - it has much larger black areas on the top and the bottom. It's time to trash the concept pictures and show the phone the way it really is.

Please also note: The reviewer criticizes your past update policies - you can change this reputation. Do take better care of your products. It would be nice to have a small company that makes nice, affordable phones, but that won't happen if Umi maintains a reputation for being unreliable. Other companies like Xiaomi or ELEPhone would be happy to take that title.

On this page: https://ibb.co/dxq836 you can see a 640 x 360 pixel photo stretched to the page. You have to download the full size photo to see the real picture. I shared a real and full resolution photo here. After clicking on it, you can zoom in with the mouse wheel or you can download it and check the EXIF data inside. Later I'll share full resolution and original daylight photos.
The S2 has two real back cameras. You can check it by disassembling the phone or by running Device Info HW.
There are and there were a lot of videos on UMIDIGI's YouTube channel, where you can and you could see the real screen and everything about the S2 from the beginning.
Here's a video from more than 2 months ago:

This video (as others too) was published on both of UMIDIGI's facebook page and here in the blog, it was not hidden. I've got an S2 in hand and the screen exactly looks the same as in the video.

Among the long list of issues I and other have posted, I tried the GPS today and I am sorry to annouce taht it's another disapointment. Gets stuck every 1 km. Even on highway in open land. This is only another downer about unidigi s2.
My advice, just do not buy it. The ONLY positive point about this brick is the design. Apart so, not worth half its price.
