Those waiting for the UMI X2 handset, here is some bad news, it will be delayed further. If Gizchina.com website is to be believed the X2 handset will take some more time.
As per the website there is some optimization issue with the X2 handset which has forced the company to delay the product. Interesting the orders for X2 is still being processed in India via the umimobiles.in website.
It would be wise to wait or look for some other quad core options. Also do not pre-book as the handsets are not yet physically available. The specifications no doubt are impressive. The 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage is icing on the cake. There was also the news about a 16GB X2 version in the pipeline.
It seems the high display resolution of 1080p on X2 may not be working smoothly with the MT6589 processor. Probably may require some additional OS tweaking to improve the performance.
For now the X2 is still in waiting, but the UMI X1 is all set to go. UMI will also come up with UMI X1S an upgraded version of X1 with quad core CPU. Stay tuned for more.

please do not go for UMIX2 becouse after sale services is very poor, lots of problem in handset, if you call to cc they told you send mobile at your own expense and they will revert you after 25 days. neither they give any replacement in any sense. Poor people,poor management, poor handset quality, only configuration are good but very very poor built quality.
Go for another brand they might be good but my experience with UMI people are very bad and i made a complaint against them in consumer court for fraud like non replacement.
u said that UMI x2 review will be dispatched to u today, have u got any update regarding shipment, as per umi they have shipped it already……………
Did you receive the smartphone ? Someone who has got this, can you please post a review ?
I have been reading that dual core a9 is better than quad core a7…
and also that a7 is used only as a coprocessor in s4…..what is your opinion about umi x2? moreover any clues of which Bluetooth version does it have??? ur reply would be of great help…..
Yes that is true that is why the broadcom chipset in the Grand is equal to the MTK chipset in all the departments of real world performance
As per facebook they contacted you about X2 and bluedart shipping model? did you get it tell something about it?
No I got a call they will send it to delhi and from there to my address it will take few days, probably by end of this month.
The below is from FB:
Umimobile: Bhagavan Mylarappa sir, gogi will be doing review in this weekend, check http://www.gogi.in. Not sure where the package is now, they are trying to prove their authenticity, but not clear on their deadlines. Hope you get it by weekend. Thanks for keeping us updated Gogi.
Hi gogi…most awaited umi x2 finally reached new delhi…and would be sent to u 2morrow as they mention on their fb wall.so when we should aspect review.
I am looking to buy a 5″ cell with 2 GB RAM & at least 8GB ROM with Jelly Bean. Is such cell fone available within the budget of Rs.16K?
HI GOGi,
After repeated post i got a post on my wall from UMI in morning today-
“Kindly email the confirmation slip for payment made, and the black strip is in Engineering prototype only, few beta testers and online websites have samples for screen test and “touch & feel”. For official review by Umi Mobiles, will be done by Gogi very soon !!!”
Please GOGI clear they have you received any such handset and whether they have tried to contact you…….
Ritesh, check the status on site on the right bar at bottom. You can find the upcoming reviews, if I have received and when I am working on the review.
thanks GoGi
as per UMI they will ship tomorrow, waiting for its review…
UMI’S NEW PHONE AFTER UMI X2 COMES HERE IS LINK:
umi fb says gogi recieved handset?? have you??
No have not received and neither have got an email confirming that they have sent / or the tracking code.
Guy did u see recent post by umi fb, 1648 people paid full amount for x2. is without a single hands of product they earned more than rs 2.3 cr. (Don’t’ know how much how much token amount , will be more than that) . What a businesses strategy. How stupid crazy we Indian for a invalid china product until now. With these huge amount they can easily setup service centre, call centre, etc. That’s call “macher tele mach Baja”
omg
Asadharn use of Bangaliyana Narayan and on a more serious note I think they are under funded and are using these funds to kick start their operations
Thanx Gogi for the info.
really really bad news
eagerly waiting for review then i will buy x2 for sure or maybe think over on mmx canvas a116
what abt yr opinion, sir?
A116 5 inch bt only limited space of 1.7 gb fr games etc everything… root required..
Xolo q800… 4.5 inch lower resolution ( bt frame rates 53.47 nenamark2 against mmx canvas hd (38 fps) bcz of resolution….high resolution lower frames.) … and install all aaps to external sd without root…
Hi, Gogi,
Following interesting conversation because all are waiting for you review.
“Anoop Mukherjee asked:
so team umi when are we expecting a review unit for gogi rana ???
Umimobile answered: In this week, we are sending from Shenzhen”
Lets hope you receive it fast.
Good news guys, umi india has just posted on their fb wall that they will provide after sale service…1 year service support with 3 month replacement warranty.sounds great. So now it gonna be tough to survive 4 canvas a116. What u say gogi?
Aditya looks good, but I would want a credit card option enabled when booking / ordering. Anyway it will be better to order than to pre-book of course with credit card.
yeah u’ve a point…but it’ll b great if it’ll be available on major online store as well offline store.
Hi Gogi,
They have mentioned about services only on facebook page. No information published in print media or other electronic media. Only some IMAGINARY peoples posting things. How to trust them! Also they said in email auto-reply that there official website is http://www.umimobiles.in however payment and other details are on http://www.umimobile.in These are two different sites. No reply to emails, phone calls. How to trust them? What do you say?
Thanks.
Probably updating the website, but as I mentioned before unless they don’t get the credit card payment option then we cannot say anything.
Yes Gogi, If everything will be alright I will also think to buy UMI mobile if they provide credit card payment facility otherwise its just waste of money and time…..
Umi team is dispatching the handset everyday from last two weeks I think they r not getting a courier service in china or they will deliver the package ON FOOT. Himalya ki chadai me vakt to lagta hi hh yarooo
lol 😛 😀
Dude..see the pic of UMIx2 on FB. It is very ugly in looking. I just thought it was canvas 2 which was big and ugly unlike canvas HD. Better go with some other sleek looking phones which has same specification as umix2. I was eager to buy it but after seeing the pic and no word of after sale service etc i have dumped UMIx2. Now shall try Zop, Neo or lastly Canvas HD. Thanks
Hip hip hurray 🙂 great news for umi x2 fans & bad news for mmx canvas hd fans umi had solved mtk 6589 optimization problem with 2gb ram .here is a link gives solid proof 🙂 http://www.gizchina.com/2013/03/20/umi-x2-with-2gb-leaked-via-screenshots/
And i dont know what is that black line on screen below. There are so many phones with same specification and with good looks etc.
its fake used ram to unused at least 1.4 GB would have been free i dought whether that is real 2GB may be 1.3 GB there it can be but still big might be 1GB,
There’s another little bug with the screen, looks at the screen resolution… It’s like phone with onscreen buttons navigation,
it reports a dpi of 480… (A 5″ FullHD screen has a ppi of 441…)(and with a resolution of 1776X1080 it is 415…).
It’s fake…no doubt…
These guys seems fake to me. They can’t stand a single and simple criticism from UMI fans on FB. The reason why they ban members every minute…INCLUDING ME. Okay..i know the handset may be good. But still no updates on after sale service, warranty etc etc.
Gogi i think they get handset one drawback they cannot solve full optimization problem b’cause 0.5 cms black strip wt onscreen buttons still looks.It looks like Mmx a90 otherwise phöne is good.waiting for reveiew.
any news about the review piece?
Hi no news as of now. I will post an update once I get the unit before I start the review.
Dear Gogi, Any confirmed news of u receiving X2? If yes, that’s great news for us tech lovers. But if no, then won’t it be better for u to kindly dissociate yourself from Umi as with each passing day, it looks like its nothing more than a big scam. Also Umi is using ur name in their posts repeatedly. Also if u look at their FB posts, no responsible company would use such cheap language and cheap matter for their publicity ( like using a porn star’s pic etc ). Looks like they want to keep up the curiosity so as to get the maximum bookings before they wind up their Indian venture.
Nothing yet its still wait and watch, and as for consumers I don’t think anyone will book after so much confusion and delay.
hi gogi
ki haal aa 22
yarr i have 2 questions
1.. is umi x2 (1080p) display better than samsung s3 (720p)
2.. is umix2 ( 2gb ram) performance better than s3(1gb ram)…
Hi,
1. It can easily play 1080p.
2. Yes 2GB will make the handset perform better.
UMI X2 READY FOR DISPATCH ON NEXT WEEK looking images of 14 mobiles in wch 3 mobiles offcourse X2 is on IMAGE on facebook.com/umimobile. I think gogi you get reveiew unit in 1 or 2 days eagerly waiting and also waiting for delivery of X2.
Well done guys. Keep it up. Presently you can do only this as there is nothing other in your hands to deliver.
I really don’t know what is their definition of ABUSE LANGUAGE. Perhaps anything criticizing them would have been called as BAD or ABUSE in China. I will also suggest to give some attractive Freebees to people who admire them in spite of so many false commitments every time. This will create a new trend of CHAMCHAGIRI.
Can’t resist myself from saying some final few words here…..
Gogi, It was really a nice time of a year or so to be in touch with you and our readers. Really it helped me to choose and use some very good gadgets. I am sure in next 6-7 months, you will outperform most of the Technology Blogs in India. Will miss you for sure…..
Also, really appreciate some tremendous support & acknowledgement from Amartya B, Prithish, Sanjay and many more. Thanks a lot… Definitely will miss you guys.
Anyways, just stuck out of this approach. No more interested in giving away the proofs, getting the support from the readers and so so…….
Don’t think that will be in a position to write here as well as somewhere else. Better to concentrate on my own business but will love to grab the exciting Gadgets depending on Gogi’s reviews and the comments from the readers here.
Thanks a lot….
But do watch on for their comments..I think we have found a better source of laughter than the daily soaps right? Complete with tragedy,drama,the evil saas( Umi) and the bechari bahu (people who believe them) and suspense as you watch how they trick their customers…….Just dont forget to bring your popcorn…
Gogi , Have u received the UMI X2 ?
No not yet.
There was a post yesterday in their FB showing some X2 phones packed in transparent celluloid covers, quoting shipping to reviewers /// What a joke!
Maybe this week gogi and other forums will receive it, if the post was genuine.. As for the buyers.. Wait, Wait a while, wait a whole lot longer pls 🙂
Guys, why u all r desperate to buy such unknown Chinese phones which does’nt have any identity and even we don’t know any things about these company. Better to watch somedays….
Gogi,
They have replied to one query on FB today that the X2 is dispatched today for reviewers in India. Any confirmation?
Deepak, I got a mail few days back, they had mentioned that they will dispatch the handset for review on 17th or 18th so probably they might have sent, but I have not got any email as yet confirming this or tracking code.
Dear Gogi,
As per their FB page, they say that they are dispatching both the models to Indian reviewers today. Any news on ur side?
I was blocked on fb umobile bcz of poting coments “we need to go to consumer forum bcz they are doing mentaly harrashment to customer by giving false commitment.” if they always like “thumbs up” then why not behave like tht , why they openned a forum on fb, we the customer have right to talk about good or bad.
Join the Umimobilescam facebook page
Umi has activated 24 X 7 National Call Center on 91-9650745666 (powered by Knowlarity Gurgaon) and will “unban” FB Users by tomorrow
Dispatches of Umi X2 will be done in 1-2 days from Shenzhen directly to reviewers.
Dats a gd news i lykd d 24*7 call centre bt i still hate dat Umi is contradicting its own words when its gnna dispatch, on 14th dey said dey hav already dispatched (in fb), again tday u said u hav dispatched (in fb).. Again,in the blog u are saying dat u r gnna dispatch directly from Shenzen.. O.o?? How many products r you gnna dispatch?
@ Team UMI-
No need to do the FAVOR to unban the FB users at all. This is not your empire that whenever you can ban or unban the people who criticize you.
This is really annoying & bullshit approach…..
We – the BANNED users will share our views through UMIMOBILESCAM FB page. We don’t want your platform.
So you do admit to lying about the delay and not being able to provide the handset on time dont you Team Umi???I mean time proved what a bunch of fake liers you are. You do not deserve to be trusted….As for me I would just sit back and laugh…..HaHaHa…And guess who I am laughing at????Yes its you Team Umi..Its you….:D
Very well said Deepak and Amartya……. UMI u deserve for these comments…..
http://www.mobilenumberlocator.biz/mobile-series.php?q=9650745
http://bmobile.in/9650745666
their National Call Center number is mob number of airtel from Delhi
Another scam from the fraudstars!
LAUNCHING

Be patience we are coming.
this is what you find . by the looks of it looks like some unprofessional small time traders running the show… too risky
Hi Gogi,
As per Umimobiles latest Facebook update Umi X2 has been dispatched on Friday for Indian reviewers & media. Any mail or contact from Umimobile?
Shankar as per their last mail they mentioned “ready by 18th-19th to dispatch to”
Dear Gogi, Should I go with A90S since it is available at 11K, instead of A116 or UMI (not availble) or is there any other choice at all. pl reply fast.
The UMI killer according to Gizchina with a April Launch date… How I Wish this comes to India, but think not! Aliexpress then !

Hi Gogi,
Just see how they are changing colours each day. Yesterday only they were confirming that the India release will be in time on 15th. But, today on their FB page they are posting that X2 will be released by March end along with X1S.

Pak gaya hu yaar…when this f**ng awesome mobile will be launched?
I doubt, even umi india delivered aXe2. it will might be that Ram optimization Problem.
At last you only get a real chinese product, which we name in India.
Made in china. haha! Made in china!
Its not a prob with made in china bro,maximum of branded electronic devices we buy are made in china as china is head central of asia for manufacturing, i bought a hewlett-packard back 2years ago there was clearly written down hp is property of us blah.blah.blah but under that made in china 😀
That’s not point I’m pointing at. Even my Samsung mini too made in China, xperia s of my bro too made in China, Samsung microwave, Sony cybershot, LG LCD… And the list goes on.
What I’m pointing at the cheap Chinese phones you get in local stores. Except the Indian re-branded ones. And umi too soon get listed.
Spare your time guys, 3 days to go, by that time enjoy s4 and xolo ‘x’ intel launch. Kaun dimagmari karega umi se.
Umi came with its Chinese aXe2 to sale it in India. But oh! see their fate, they itself cut slashed their own legs with it. Bad luck umi!
Agree,
Gogi u sud make hype of d SIV (cuming wid 3d camera & pholed display) & Xolo “X” series (Intel Covertail+ processor) both launching in March 14th..:)
