If there’s one thing I like about Umidigi smartphones is its uniqueness and beautiful design and the Umidigi Crystal didn’t fall short. The Crystal is just another milestone in their endless journey towards innovation. This bezel-less smartphone has an 88% Screen-to-Body Ratio.
Design
The Umidigi Crystal has a unique look, the screen coverage was expanded to the maximum for a full view display (16:9) ratio. Its proximity sensor is located at the top-end of the device, the Box Audio Cavity design allows the earpiece hole to conceal itself as a very thin line on the top end of the device. The front camera is also moved to the lower right end to achieve its full display. Its available in only black.
Display
With an unprecedented screen to body ratio, the Umidigi Crystal is a beauty to behold and exciting to watch videos with it. The ultra-high screen proportions on this 5.5-inch Sharp display is out of this world.
With 1080×1920 pixels, the contents and colours on the display should be a joy to watch. The display on the Umidigi Crystal will forever change your approach on any smartphone.
Hardware and Software
Powered by a 1.5GHz Quad-Core A53 64-bit processor, the Umidigi Crystal is more than capable to handle all your daily tasks and games. The ARM MALI-T720 MP2 which is clocked at 650MHz increases gaming and video performance by more than 50%.
RAM is essential if you want your phone to run as fast and smooth as possible, and with 4GB of RAM, you shouldn’t be worried about a slow phone. And with 64GB of ROM, all your files and data are safe. Although there’s also a Lite version that has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM for those on a budget. It comes with Android 7.0 OS.
Camera
The Samsung dual rear camera on the Umidigi Crystal (13MP + 5MP) can capture all the fun moments you always want to remember. Its 5MP selfie camera offers “Beauty Mode Selfie” for clear selfies.
Battery
The Umidigi Crystal is powered by a non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery.
