New UMi Z Likely to be First Phone with MediaTek X27

We have received information from a credible tipster that UMi will be among the first, if not the first, OEM to release a phone with the recently-announced MediaTek X27 CPU, as soon as this month. Not only that, but a rendering we received of the new UMi phone, above, suggests that it’ll have a dual-camera setup, likely with some help from the new ISP included in the X27.

The new UMi phone is likely to go by the name “Z”, as the same name was recently teased on the UMi Facebook page. We don’t have any other information about the UMi Z at this time, but we’d venture to guess that it’ll be offered in a 6GB RAM configuration, and should have a 4,000mAh battery with up to 64 or 128GB of storage space with microSD expansion. And, given how UMi prices its phones, we expect the Z to be offered for a very competitive price.
