May I ask you how you bought it. From outside EU, and if so, did you have to pay tax? The prices I see from Eu are substantially higher.

What's the camera like? Is the phone really heavy?

The camera is the weakest thing.. Phone is 196g so heavy, but feels good in your hand..

How is battery life? Does it last longer than a day without a charge? How quickly does it discharge when playing a game (got another Mediatek mobile atm and 1min in Star Trek Timelines drops the battery by 1%)?

And how did everyone buy? I'm thinking of taking the risk of an Aliexpress store (Black Peach) since they still sell it for $179,99 while Gearbest et al. $199,99 minimum. Did anyone have to pay import tax (EU or Germany) yet? Thanks for your replies.

Hi all,first post here:fingers-crossed: just got this phone and its a lovely beast build wise and fast but having big issues with calls,they can hear me but i can't hear them and also callers are saying they can't connect sometimes,so have done numerous factory resets and it's been fine for a while but once i set it up to how i want it and that includes installing apps the problem with calls returns so this time have reset the phone again and will leave it as it is and see what occurs,sounds bizarre but that's how it is.

Any body in the USA received it yet?
I ordered mine from Aliexpress, and was shipped on June 7th?
Any idea how long it might take?

I ordered from Banggood on June 2nd and it is currently somewhere between Flushing NY and Knoxville TN after 14 days.......it should be in my hands soon! I tried for a coupon for a few days and never could get anything to work.... then saw it on Banggood for US $204, free shipping/no tax. Also, anybody that finds a quality TPU cover anywhere please give a shout. So far can only find the poly snap-on see thru kind which is very minimal protection.....Cheers

I used the cheapest option PostNL. The tracking showing 'on the way to destination country' for the last one week. Guess I shall have to wait a bit more.

Bought one as-well, do you think we could expect a proper forum section ?

I just got mine too and really hope that we can get more things like a proper forum section of it... that's the reason I join back this site

Why wouldn't it work on a US GSM network like T-Mobile?

I just got mine and it works on T-Mobile but only got 3G not 4G nor LTE

I ordered mine the same way and it took around 3 weeks to get here

Well, that very much depends on what T-Mobile you're talking about. The Umi Super supports LTE bands 1, 3, 7 and 20. Pretty much what you'll need to have you covered in Europe. So with the mother company T-Mobile Germany and its European subsidiaries you should be okay.

If you're referring to T-Mobile USA though, you're out of luck. If I'm not completely mistaken, you require bands 4, 12 and 17 there. So no LTE with the Super for you.

For the battery life, I can easily get a more than day of web browsing, messaging and phone calls so I guess it's ok. But just remember that everyone uses a phone in a different way.

Yeah the weird thing is in USA here when I called T-Mobile they told me about the 4G has 1900, 2100Mhz and but I guess the bands are different which I don't know different bands would have same Mhz...

I always check on Wikipedia about bands before I travel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks is a great source. There are several bands on the same frequency, yes. So better always check the phone bands!

Most of the time its a confusion about 2G/3G/4G though. 1900 MHz their default GSM/2G freq (supported) but also used for LTE. Band 2 which the Super doesn't support. 2100 sounds very much like 3G though.

Hey everyone,
I am thinking about buying a UMI Super as a replacement for my Nexus 5.
Have any of you that already received their Super tested out the camera yet? That is the main factor making me hesitate about buying the device because most reviews said the camera produces bad images.
Also: Has anybody tested the Super in German networks yet (preferably O2)?
And what is you general advice? Buy the Super? Wait? Or buy something else (Elephone P9000 e.g. looks promising too)?

Thanks in advance for the help

As Nexus user, i suggest to put on the table 50€ more and get Nexus 5X 32gb..
Super is a good device, but camera is only average and the weight is important..

Ah, thank you, that is an option I hadn't considered yet. But does it have a SD card slot?
Well, the Ulefone Future also looks pretty good, maybe that could be worth the wait, what do you think?
Thanks for the help
