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.

sameer
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…..
Amartya B
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
AJAY
As per facebook they contacted you about X2 and bluedart shipping model? did you get it tell something about it?
Gogi Rana
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.

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.

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?
ritesh chaurasia
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…….
Gogi Rana
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.

Gogi Rana

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”
sonu
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

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.
Aditya
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?
Gogi Rana
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.
Aditya
yeah u’ve a point…but it’ll b great if it’ll be available on major online store as well offline store.
Shantanu
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.
Gogi Rana
Probably updating the website, but as I mentioned before unless they don’t get the credit card payment option then we cannot say anything.
Sanjay
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…..
Deepak Yadav
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
AJAY
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/
selvon
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.
Sudip
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…
