The Super is the latest flagship from UMi, and it’s really intriguing, especially considering the price. We recently did a contest to give one away, and with over 2200 entries, it was our most popular contest ever. Usually the Super is $249.99, an impressive price by all standards, but a $70 coupon (with email sign up) brings the price down to an incredible $179.99, but only for a limited time.
The phone is all-metal, with minimal antenna lines, and within you’ll find a octa-core Helio P10 octa-core CPU, with 4GB RAM, a huge 4,000mAh battery, USB Type-C with fast charging, a Panasonic 13MP camera, fingerprint sensor, and perhaps best of all, stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow with no custom skin. The display is the ideal size for most, at 5.5″, and FHD resolution, and the body remains small thanks to narrow screen bezels. Let’s take a closer look at the UMi Super!
Build Quality and Ergonomics
The design of the UMi Super is thoughtful thanks to an anodizing and polishing process that happens five times to produce a smooth and durable finish on its aircraft-grade aluminum body. The back is curved at 165° which fits the contour of your hand perfectly.
The front uses 2.5D glass for that “infinity edge” that slightly rounds the glass for a smooth, premium feel. The power button is placed easily within reach on the right side, below the volume rocker. All buttons are metal for a solid tactile response.
And the Super is available in three colors: black with black front, silver with white front, or gold with white front.
Performance and Specs
UMi combined some of the best components to make the Super a standout when it comes to performance. The Mediatek P10 is ultra-efficient with its eight A53 cores that balances performance with power savings, while the Mali-T860 64-bit GPU provides fantastic performance when gaming or doing other video-intensive activities. You get 4GB of Samsung DDR3 RAM, none of which will be hogged by bloatware or a clunky interface, because the Super comes with Stock Android Marshmallow.
The Super has a huge 4,000mAh Sony battery that can provide over a full day of heavy usage. Then, when it’s time to charge, PE+ Quick Charge means you can get 75% charge in just 30 minutes when charged over USB Type-C. Or, just 10 minutes of charging gives you four hours of talk time.
And There’s More
The UMi Super has a customizable LED notification beacon below the screen, which UMi calls the Super Skylight because it gently pulses when you have a new notification. You can pick from up to seven light colors for different apps so that you can easily tell what type of message you have missed.
The 13MP camera, made by Panasonic, launches in just half a second and can focus in less than a third of a second. There is zero shutter lag, and you can even adjust focus after the photo is taken with Magic Focus. You can customize the power button to launch the camera, or any app, with a double press.
Want to maximize screen real estate by using the physical buttons instead of those that are on-screen? The UMi Super lets you switch between two button configurations.
And for security, the Microarray 3D fingerprint scanner will unlock your phone in just 0.1 seconds, regardless of what direction the phone is facing.
How to Buy
The UMi Super is available from a range of global retailers. Remember, if you want the $70 coupon, you must sign up over email! And soon!
