UMIDIGIUnlocked Android Phones, A15T Smartphones, 5000mAh (8+8)+128GB/TF 1TB Expand, Ultra-Slim 6.7" Screen Mobile Phones, Android 13 NFC GPS, 64MP AI Camera 4G Dual SIM Unlocked Cell Phone, Black

The Umidigi A15T is a great inexpensive phone in its expense class.I have had several Umidigi phones in the past and I can say from my experience they continue to improve and provide a good value for people looking for reasonable price vs performance phones.I purchased the glacier blue color which is a light blue and it was received very quickly as usual. The phone specs that I am usually concerned with are listed at the end of the review if you want to see that level of details otherwise here is my impression of this phone.The phone is well packaged in a recycling conscious box which includes a gray tinted semi- transparent protective case for the phone, wall charger, charging cord, sim tool, and small paper manual covering the very basics of the phone. A plastic type screen protector is already on the phone screen so it will be protected until you get a glass one if you use them.The fingerprint reader is the right side power button and is easy to setup as well as fast to unlock phone unlike some of the in screen fingerprint readers of other phones. The phone can keep up with me when I am entering the 6 digit unlock pin number when required. (many other phones do not and I have to type in the pin number slowly for them to recognize all the numbers) I don't turn on face unlock so I cant comment on that feature.I found the MediaTek processor/CPU can keep up with my needs with no real lagging or pausing while using multiple apps and only slowing slightly while doing numerous app updates from the app store all at once. Scrolling pages and other common browser tasks are fluid. I don’t use this phone for games so that may produce a different result if you game on your phone.Screen is bright enough with good color and clarity, resolution is moderate and refresh is not noticeable so that's pretty nice. Screen does get a bit overtaken in direct sunlight as expected. The default home page app I didn't keep as I prefer Nova Launcher. The default home app shows the icons across multiple pages requiring swiping to the right and left. The search box is at the last page to the right kind of like an iPhone.The rear camera system is comprised of a 3 circle area that contains a 64Mp sensor binned down to 16Mp @ F1.8 for main camera, a 5MP Ultra-Wide Camera @ F/2.2, and a 2MP Macro Camera @ F/2.4. Photos from the main camera are better than some previous models, ultrawide and macro are as expected and are social media level of quality. The phone app has several modes and features.When taking a picture there is very little delay between pressing button and it taking the picture. Some of my other low cost phones had a long wait for the picture to actually be taken.Main camera video recording options are 4K,1080P, 720P, 480P; 30fps. I don't see the option to turn on or off image stabilization so will go with it doesn't have it.The front selfie or video conferencing camera is a 16MP @ F/2.2 and seems to work well for Zoom calls. If offers video recording at 720P, 480P ; 30fpsWifi stays connected around the house, shop and yard without issue.Bluetooth connects to my speakers, headphones and car. Acts as expected for Bluetooth.AT&T cellular data and VoLTE calling is working provided by a Red Pocket MNVO sim. I did have to set the APN information for Red Pocket as usual. It has been on Red Pocket ATT for about 2+ weeks and its still calling out via VoLTE. Phone does not seem to offer Voice calls over Wi-Fi (VoWIFI) for Red Pocket AT&T.T-Mobile cellular data and VoLTE calling is working as provided by T-Mobile post paid sim. I did not have to set the APN information for T-Mobile. Phone does offer Voice calls over Wifi for T-Mobile as the menu item is present and controllable when using the T-Mobile sim. Works well with T-Mobile in my area.Sound is very much a cell phone sound but the volume is good without heavy distortion. Call volume for speaker phone and handheld calls is loud and clear enough for the normal environments I use a phone in. If you are in a very noisy environment expect to have to actively listen.Still has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack so that's a plus.The specs are reasonable for the cost of the phone and include:Android 13 March 5 2024 security updates. Umidigi has improved over time at providing security updates but don’t expect Android version updates and other improvements as they are typically not provided.8GB Ram with the option to increase the available memory by utilizing storage space as operating memory. I appreciate the option is available but find 8GB is perfectly acceptable for my needs as a daily use smart phone.128GB Storage memory for storage of apps, pictures and all sorts of other data.The 128GB of storage can be increased in size with the addition of a micro sd card if needed and I tried a 64GB SanDisk that worked easily.CPU is a MediaTek G95 which is listed as a gaming level octa core processor by MediaTek.6.7” HD+ Full View Display, Resolution: 1650 × 720, Aspect Ratio: 20.6:9, Brightness: 500 nit (typ), and Contrast Ratio: 1500:1. Screen has slightly larger icons and text which works well for me. If you want to have lots of little icons packed in a small screen space then you cant do that with the default home app. The screen has better color and clarity than the A15C but had to have them side by side to notice it.

Quick shipping! Upgraded from a slow Motorola phone, and thought I'd try this affordable UMIDIGI A15T. I had heard of the brand quite a few years ago when they were one of the first to make phones with a duodecacore CPUs. This A15T, while not 12-core, definitely has more CPU power and more storage space than my old phone - performance is way better. There is ample storage to install all my apps, and it is powerful enough to run them smoothly. I'm not a big phone user so the battery lasted 2 days before needing a recharge (rather than running it down to 0%, it is however recommended to keep batteries charged to around 80%. After more use and more apps downloaded, it required more frequent recharges-like most cellphones.)Came with a nice plastic case (see unboxing photos). SIM tray takes 2 sims (or I believe an SD card). Nice bright screen. Quite light to carry - particularly helpful for those long phone calls! For the techies, photos of the specs are attached. There is no more detailed user manual (either online or printed), but mostly self-explanatory standard Android features. A nice feature is a programmable, physical hotkey/button on the left of the phone.Camera works wonderfully: 3 in the rear, and 1 front facing. There are several (software) modes, portrait, 64MP, landscape, etc... pretty standard now.English translations can be a bit spotty in place. Eg. "The system is setting up the launcher for you..." after you login, where "Launcer Starting..." would have sufficed! Still trying to figure out the Memory Expansion "When the storage of the fuselage is sufficient..." - I'm guessing that means "When the phone storage is full..."Other than that it has all the full Android 13 features. The DDU launcher does not use the "drawer" feature to list apps, but instead app icons are shown in groups at the last screen, or added to a screen. The display is a good size. Overall a good value.Worked with Tracfone SIM B (which piggy backs off the T-Mobile network), but NOT with Tracfone SIM A (which is routed through parts of Verizon's network. It may work with Verizon, but I don't know, best to check with them directly.)(Also, not sure how you pronounce UMIDIGI, but I'm guessing "You-Me-Digi"?? )

Very dissapointed with this phone, numerous people would ask if I had recieved texts ,including,can I work tommorow? Missed many days work.Purchased the phone in June 2024,Phone died early October 2024 the day prior to it's death, while trying to navigate my way to Kissimee,Fla to escape from the hurricane, my WAZE , would say "In a half mile...." (No further directions.)The phone would also ,just shut off that day without a warning,usually just prior to an important direction/turn. I am VERY proud of myself for NOT throwing it out the window. Thank the Lord for Tequila (at the hotel)On the day of the hurricane,the phone did pass away silently.No warning,just shut off and died.D.N.RCannot tell you how "HAPPY"I was at that point.Caring & responsible for 2 ,90 Y.O parents and NO way of communicating to family up north.Needless to say,came home and purchased a SAMSUNG! Stay with what you knowSo to sum it up,stay with a known name brand that you can count on
