I tried really hard to love my Z (and my wife hers too), but it was'nt enough.
To note for Umidigi these are my lovestoppers on both devices:

  • huge difference between marketing and product
  • to many products released by Umidigi, so neccessary support for every model can't be realised
  • battery drain (with screen on and doing "nothing" > 20% per hour);  to improve battery i rooted and used greenify & other optimations with only a little impact.
  • battery never reached 3.700 mAh (metered ~ 3000 mAh)
  • touch screen (ghost touches, "fixed" with bad usability)
  • Wifi, bluetooth and GSM hickups
  • very bad GPS (look! I'm driving on the street 250 meters away)
  • bad build quality (dust inside); a little bit fear about battery swelling; easy broken camera glass; USB connectors loosing contact
  • heating up on low duty tasks
  • strange hardware ("flagship" SOC just used in 2-3 mobiles and immediately replaced by successors; old low end camera sensor (no camera API 2) marked as "sample" by vendor; battery mentioned before)
  • closed source of kernel and SOC, missing improvements  (yes, i point on you Mediatek)



I had all these things on both(!) devices, with last version, flashed always clean (and tried again). As a software developer and flashing Android since Cupcake I know the problems here are not user created nor solvable by them.

Now I'm on Xiaomi Mi A1 and my wife's on Moto G5 Plus. What a HUGE difference (6-9 Hours SOT for example).

I would like to thank all moderators for their daily job to help struggling users and all device owner for their help and the time together.

Goodbye! May the force of Android be with you!
