I recognize that you are right , well, I 'll think 2 times for my future smartphome, if no update, my next Umi = Bye Bye model !

They are still lying at their advertisements. Look at the Support Lollipop 5.0 upgrade banner at this page:

http://www.banggood.com/UMI-eMAX ... phone-p-977385.html

They know eMax will never get a stable lollipop upgrade but they still using same banners to fool people and sell more and more phones until they will be out of stock.

Traders are just too lazy to update their ads. You can find a lot of such listings net-wide. UMI is already not used to advertise the lollipop upgrade for a long time, although still there's a place on the official product page where they've left that option accidentally.
To be honest, that's already a little bit boring for me to ride the same horse again and again. UMI wanted to release a lollipop upgrade for eMAX, they failed and that's all. That was one mistake, not a continuous cheating. I'm just trying to make this dispute balanced here.

\n\nSorry to be "a pain in the ass" but UMI as a brand as no excuse here.

This is official and not from lazy traders :

The only laziness i see here is from UMI the way they are working on the update to be released or even to update their official page about the product that still lead consumers on expecting a Lollipop update.

In my case i am tired of waiting for something that was a fact when the phone was released and many people like me bought eMax legitimately expecting it considering what was advertised at launch and still is as i showed before, if i knew that eMax would be stuck at 4.4 with an unpolished OS (that what V05 is with wakelocks and battery stats not reset among other minor issues), i would never had bought it.

Luckly for me, eMax is not my only smartphone and will be on selling list shortly, Oneplus One, LETV X600, Asus Zenfone 2 or even Mstar S700 (yes a mt6752 with Lollipop out of the box on a cheaper smartphone than eMax) is to blame for my lack of accommodation on what UMI delivers.

Brands like UMI has to learn that dumping cheap and good looking phones in the market is not enough and have to step up in terms of honesty (updates/battery mAh real capacity) and official software support, eMax should be getting 5.1 and even 6.0, i did not expect 24 months of updates but zero/null/none like is going to be the case of eMax is a joke of bad taste for who spent +-150$.

If UMI concept of software update is the consumer to buy a new UMI smartphone every 6 months, well, good luck with that because they are going to need it.

Over and out.

The update is still advertised on the page FB UMI , nothing has been changed in the product specifications ( and fortunately, how to do this "after" !)
Why UMI does not communicate at all the above ? It can enlighten us be?

If you confirm the real 3780 mAh of the battery i am glad that UMI at least did not cheat their costumers on this aspect, but i can not support a brand that fail to acomplish what is on paper.

The Emax is ok but not just great because of the software issue, like i said on other topic, such a waste to have this hardware stuck on 4.4 and a phone that with the specs that has should be receiving Marshmallow in next months not even Lollipop 5.1 will get.

Nobody was expecting 24 months of software updates but if there is brands with 5.1 on Mt6752 that show it is possible if they want to and Lenovo K3 with a similar pricetag will get even Marshmallow.

This situation about Lollipop on eMax is total bullshit from UMI but also is difficult to understand the lack of interest from the community on porting Lollipop to eMax when you have it on other Mt6752 devices, and see devices with 3/4 years and obsolete hardware getting it.

Please , an administrator can confirm ask UMI that there is no 64 -bit update being prepared ? We want to know whether or not ... Thank you.

Would like to have clarification from UMI! I was on the phone with Android 5.0 or 5.1!

and don't want to think that all of us have been cheated!

As volskswagen that does not pollute on the paper , the Emax has lollipop, on the paper  !
