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 š š
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 š 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 š 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,
Thereās another little bug with the screen, looks at the screen resolutionā¦ Itās like phone with onscreen buttons navigation,
it reports a dpi of 480ā¦ (A 5ā³ FullHD screen has a ppi of 441ā¦)(and with a resolution of 1776X1080 it is 415ā¦).
Itās fakeā¦no doubtā¦
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 phƶne 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 š
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
SOON
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 !
http://www.gizchina.com/2013/03/12/neo-n003-full-specifications-pricing-launch-confirmed-better-than-the-umi-x2/
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.
How Funny……..

One more thing “X” is confirmed to run on Intelās Medfield Z2460 processor clocked at 2GHz (hyper-threading technology) & SIV will cum wid 2600mAh confirmed also SIV teaser image realeased by Samsung Usa..
Medfield again š
Where did you get to learn of this?please post the link
Google up! You will get thousands of links.
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 š
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..:)
Yes am looking for the ‘X’ launch.
sir ji gionee dream d1 launch in india
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/64651/gionee-dream-d1-with-4-65-inch-hd-super-amoled-plus-display-android-4-1-launched-for-rs-17999.html
Gogi wts going on ??now umiindia replied 6hours ago on facebook yes to a question are u sure umi x2 is reaching india by 15march,they also said no impact on indian sales only china is delayed 3-4 days :/
Shiva, can’t say anything the best bet is to wait and see what happens on 15th march.
Still umi saying the delay is in china not in India. Seems they came here for chating without any valid product. Requesting all to stop comments , register to their site or Facebook. They need a lesson by us
Abhay Joy has been fighting with people on this blog and UMI’s page for UMI. But now he’s also crying on UMI’s fb page after prebooking. Now he wants to know from UMI where’s his money gone hahaha
They post this message
Umimobile say
China is delayed by 3-4 days, India has no issues

Hello pritish Open mediatek 6589 soc official page wt the help of google mediatek @ miravision are partners to make mtk 6589 quad core chipset for 1920*1080 full hd lcd for razorsharp fonts images and video so do some homework before posting comments.
Still u r arguing wid me..! I have no words 2 say jst to admire ur courage.. Hope,ur 500 rupees doesn’t go in vain aftrall it was paid frm ur Axis Bank App..:D
Pritish no use talking with Ajay better let him rant alone at Umi
Gogi,
Again sorry to broke this news to u.. Bt,i don’t think Umi is launching 16gb version confirmed by Andi.. Gogi,u sud nt post anythng by seeing sumthng on fb, 1st confirm den post.. Dey r manipulating u & also us..
Prithish, if they are manipulating its bad for them cause by delaying more and making false promises they will never be able to do business in India.
Gogi this is very bad for you as they are trying to reassure others by saying that you would get the first handset one certain reviewer has lost a lot of respect for his bias and now u shouldn’t let Umi ruin your built up reputation as they will sink your ship along with theirs. Please ask them to stop referring to you as if you are their guarantor on FB and as if every blame and every doubt is resolved by telling people Gogi is going to review the first handset.
Gogi,
Try 2 add the pieces together..
1st,dey call u to confirm the price (seeing the followers & popularity of u,gain trust of people) mission 1 accomplised,
Knowing dis, u’ll definitely post it ur blog (it will create a attraction no need to spend money on ad) misson 2 accomplised,
Dey r posting in ur blog 2 keep u update on der products & happenings around (so u follow the same & post it to update us) misson 3 accomplised,
People fell into d trap & deposited Rs.500..
500 may look small bt think as 500*20k people= 1cr.
Check & mate & sayonara..!
Prithish, it may or may not be true but do you really think 20K people have paid Rs. 500 and booked?
Facebook estimates by number of posts is around 9k individual booking so pritish you may very well be onto something right….
Gogi,
U got a point bt i also got a point.. U may be ri8 abt 20k bt 10k is inevitable(admitted by Umi on fb).. 50lakhs is wat u get.. I dont knw abt u,bt 50lakhs cud change my damn pathetic life..:)
See Gogi now they are resorting to blocking people like a spoilt child makes me wana laugh….:D
Gogi sir, i saw your blog regularly, conclusion for umi is finaly comes that they are fakers, not the umi, but a umimobile.in website admin who courage to do such a foolish act. and hits your gud image.
and he also here commenting regularly by a name AJAY.
plz think about this gogi its very dangerous for all of us
Deep, yes its true am not sure if the person is related to UMI or not. But as long as UMI does not launch their handset these comments will happen. Though I am making sure that new comments added are healthy.
Ya Gogi, I agree with Prithish. See they are using your goodwill right from the day when they announced the Price of 14k. Atleast they should have updated you about the delay but unfortunately I don’t see so.
I am not against UMI as I too have booked one X2 but fortunately didn’t make any advance payment to them & that was what I was insisting to everybody. I saw in a post on UMI’s FB page today that even Ajay Bhoy is crying that the advance payment amount of Rs. 500/- has been deducted from his bank a/c but now nobody is picking up the given phone number neither they are replying to emails. This is surprising.
Deepak, unless they don’t send a review unit better avoid them. Their approach is wrong. As for Ajay Bhoy and any other users telling good or bad about UMI, I would say wait we really don’t know what is going on. As for they using my name they just said they will send me the handset, so better wait. If I get the handset I will let you know, otherwise it will be another false promise.
Right Gogi. Better wait for the review unit to reach your doorsteps.
ROFL…This is the best post in the whole page(last 2 lines) How many are with me?
why am talking much about after sale service?
bcoz we all know zopo,umi&any oem always better then rebranders like mmx,karbon.
but still ppl r towards mmx why? just for SERVICE.
OEM knows it but they r not care about it coz they r not respecting our market.
we must stop this,how? just dont buy until they open service.
if we dont care about after sale service then we can buy any from alix.com anytime. y only from OEM.IN?
SO
“NO SERVICE,NO BUY”
I for one wont buy anything (including mobiles) unless A** is there. If no A** I don’t buy. It is just as simple. Now if I am getting something for free, that will be different. Chinese will learn a thing or two from the Indian customers.
Guys, although it’s confirmed by Andi on Gizchina that X2 will be delayed, nobody should ask UMI about this. If you raise any questions, you will be banned on their FB page.
One more point is UMI INDIA was definitely aware about this delay. In spite of this, they simply denied it yesterday. Now what they have achieved is that Rs. 500/- each as booking amount from the people who booked it yesterday. I will give full marks to MMX here. There were so many controversial comments especially from UMI INDIA that MMX is not in a position to deliver the Quadcore in time and they are not having any stocks at all, etc, etc. MMX launched Canvas HD as per the schedule and afterwards they made the doorstep delivery even well before the commitment time.
Moral- If you can’t keep your words, your product gets neglected in spite of a good quality.
What are your views Gogi?
A new company should really be careful and should not make commitments that are delayed, in fact the best way would be to have the stock in hand and then enter the market.
Bro , Any plans to review the xolo Q800
Same tactics were employed by Zopo.Not even a single service centre till date.MMX should be given credit for what they are offering.Moreover Chinese OEM’s are not giving their products at dirt cheap rates.What they are creating is hype and delaying MMX sales.Only Gionee looks some what professional.At leats they have ready service support and their product is vailable on other sites as well.Even Zopo deletes negative comments.Websites of both the companies are same,do i need to say more?
I agree with Deepak , first they said it will be launched at 12000 , the specs were already out on gizchina.in , when asked why they raised 14000 the answer was specs were not confirmed although specs are same which gizchina disclosed month or so ago…………
I was very interested to buy UMI but looking at this unprofessional-ism i am not going to take any risk as of now …………
Gogi bro what do u think
Manjeet, the way they started has damaged their reputation and it will only be fixed when they launch the handset along with decent number of service centers.
Gogi Bro that we will have to wait and watch but I don’t think so that they will launch the handset along the service centers.
They also said there will be an office in Nehru Place (New Delhi),well i work in Nehru place itself , but i could not find any office here….
if they cannot set a single office , how&when they are going to launch the handset along with decent number of service centers…
I think the discussion is of no use š
As u said in coming days u’ll be reviewing some quad core’s , so i’ll wait for ur reviews and decide which is a good deal
Manjeet, thanks for the info. Not sure what is going on but lets see.
Well Thanx Gogi ,
I really appreciate ur work , u have reply to so many queries and u do it nicely,…..
Karbonn guys are on leave or what ? š
They slept after announcing the Quad core Handset….
Manjeet, karbonn is out of touch. Well check the home page Dream D1 launched.
yeah gogi i had a look, handset is good (looks n features) but priced at 18k š ,
do u really think that its worth……..
^Best post of d day @deepak..! I was going 2 say d same,bt u said it already..:) And,where is our Ajay Bhoy our UMI representative? Where nw all the hype gone? Were u saying sumthng lyk Umi is nt lyk mmx,dey stick to their commitment,u made fun of others.. Ajay, a piece of advice for u never speak widout knowing nothing.. Ok?
its there.May be stuck somewhere.
These UMI guys are not reliable i guess. They give option of online purchase and than says it will be delayed..what the heck??? They havn’t sent even a piece of one x2 to Gogi for reviewing…how come they are selling it online as for now. Daal mei kuch kala hai….shayad pura hi kala ho as they are not talking anything about after sale service as well…hummm
Confirmed: Umi X2 IS delayed but scheduled for April launch , SAYS ANDI……
Hi gogi bhai,
UMI X2 delay confirmed by Andi of gizchina.com (& UMI china)
here is the link http://www.gizchina.com/2013/03/11/confirmed-umi-x2-is-delayed-but-scheduled-for-april-launch/
Please make ur readers aware
http://www.gizchina.com/2013/03/11/confirmed-umi-x2-is-delayed-but-scheduled-for-april-launch/
Guys check it out. Delay confirmed
Gogi, Canvas HD stocks are expected in a couple of days in local stores. I think this might again create hype in the market. People who are damn bored by waiting for the Quadcore. Till date none of the Chinese OEM is able to deliver the Quadcore in market. Canvas HD & Lava Q800 are the only options at present.
GIONEE Dream D1 is also likely to be launched this week. The detailed specs are not out yet. But for the 5″ Big screen lovers, Canvas HD will be the only option.
Deepak, yes true and one more option the Wammy Passion I have competed the review am uploading and editing the videos. It is also a good option, but pricy, lets see if Micromax A116 will maintain the same price tag or increase it.
Even if they increase price,it should be under Rs 700.
Gogiji…pls let me know the tentative date for this x 2 launch. Can’t wait more. All these below 14k high end smartphones have been talking big verbally… like will be released on this date etc etc. But till now no confirmation from micormax, UMI, Giyau etc etc for exact date of the launch. Afraid that it will be delayed to April or May. Pls i dont want to take that Zolo A 1000 or even samsung grand for that matter!
And hope Umi x2 makes to ur hand as quickly as possible for smart reviewing by you( but still in dilemma why hasn’t UMI team sent any handset to u like others till now ??? Micormax has done but i guess many people like me after this hype of UMI x2 has stopped booking for canvas HD in against x2. Pls kuch karo!

Ajay u r ri8.. Bt,hav u read that miravision technology released when? In 25th feb,2013 in MWC so u xpect dem wid miravision technology chips..?:D
It is very simple to understand that UMI is seeing traction here as most of the discussion on the UMI X2 is happening here. So it makes perfect sense for them to give Gogi the first review piece.
With all due respect Gogi ( now that you are becoming one of the biggies in the tech review space), A sincere request to maintain the unbiased and honest work you have been doing till now. THe traction you get is because of this quality. “Uknowwho.in” will go down coz of his biased reviews. We all know that.
We like you and hope you maintain your credibility..

Banning will not help anyone.If everyone who raises questions are banned,they will raise their voice in other alternate forums more fiercely then more people will try to stay away from that brand.I think FB shud put ‘unlike’ button too..
Hi Gogi,
Sorry but couldn’t resist myself in involving some posts which were directly criticizing persons to person. I know this should not happen & it spoils the environment of our blog.
I will take care that this won’t happen again.
Sorry once again……
Ajay,
This won’t make any difference to me at all. And do mind that nobody has asked to clarify why I was banned.
Also, the product you are mentioning (jo aaj ki tarikh main best hai) is still on papers only. It’s not yet available & admired by any user neither any tech-guru. This was the only point I was focusing again & again.
And if I am a MMX lover, then you are UMI KAY CHAMCHA…
Mind it…..
https://www.facebook.com/umimobile/posts/137890349718264 here is first link & here is the second link or go to facebook.com/umimobile saw there and decide what is right and what is wrong what is rumors and what is truth?
Ä° also banned form umi fb page for telling them they are just doing some bullshit and tell them to concentrate for their product to launch it quickly. What is bad with this comment i don’t know and now I don’t want to buy this umi product if they don’t want to listen to any type of negative comment then they don’t deserve here and I also think ajay bhoy is more like a umi worker not deepak…
Hello ari my name is ajay.bhoy my comments comes on truth when i make comment it should 100% truth not hawa me golibaar karna UMI X2 Jaisa ajj ki tarikh me indian market mai koi product nahi hai gizmochina bhi manta hai ki top 15 1080p full hd phone mai Umi ka number hai S.I.C {service in city}khulenge thoda vakt do.
Dude know something before you speak now see what happens to your self respect. Now I sit back and laugh at you HaHaHaHA God cant stop laughing you look chineese too….:D
Gogi ji ur reviews are unique. I am not against any OEM infact am waiting for them, would like to buy 1 from them directly against from rebranders like mmx,karbon etc. Problem is service after sale by all oem.
so plz out of 5 stars, keep a star separate & give it to who give service in major cities. Hope you understand what am trying to say gogi ji we respect u n OEM needs your reviews now so being a pro show the facts & aware about lack of SERVICE.
I am tell why Deepak Navgule has banned by UMI He tells ashutosh ranjan and pallvi to not to go wt UMI X2 OR not prebooked 500 rs. To UMI X2 GO WITH CANVAS HD IS A GOOD PHONE He also tells other guys Dont go with UMI X2.Thats why he is banned and becoming LOL.HA HA….
http://www.umimobile.in/product/Umi-X2-Quadcore-id-115676.html

Guys this is Umi Facebook page say
This is to inform everyone that there is no delay in the launch of X2..That was just a rumour! It will be available soon as committed!

http://www.Igyaan.in .. RIP!
Hii gogi … as per the umi fb page they are giving first product in the india to you for review..
Great news
But gogi i request you to give better video not as every time ..
You just cut and shows us the product ..
But now we want some interesting such as regular video shoot not cut off in between….
Thanxx gogi as now igyaan says bye bye now you are only the bestes of all
Hope you concern my request
Ritik, unfortunately the style will be the same. The method I use gives you a very close up view of the handset, in fact as good as holding in the hand. For this I need to cut the shot. If I do it in one go it will be over 20 minutes and it will be boring. I make the video short, precise and to the point.
Gogi,
The phrase “wait & watch” also apply 2 u..! U r also waiting & watching for X2 to land in ur doorstep..:D
Hi Gogi,
This is my first comment on your website. Actually i Googled for android handsets and i came across UMI X2 through your blog webpage.
from that day i was interested in buying the handset. But as other handsets this handset doesn’t have a single video review except one comparision video with freelander 180, wish we had good view of color resolution and scree whether its truly HD. So we could have ordered. If the review video come late and the handset is ordered late then it goes out of stock or new line of products come in.
Hitesh, its true, but looking at the situation its better to wait as UMI is new. Had it been some other brands that we know of you could have ordered it even before the review.
no I have not ordered any. But seeing the local brands like micromax and karbonn scenario I have a feeling of limited stocks. I have experienced from my freinds who gets review and go to buy such handsets.
Guys just this out……….GoodBye from IGYAAN.IN, he was a nice techy like gogi RANA. Really sad news
http://igyaan.in/
So Sad š . It Was a Good Site.. It’s An End To Great Site…..
Well that was expected with the kinds of biased reviews they were providing. I had bought spice mi 410 following the reviews by bharat nagpal and he didn’t mention several issues with the handset particularly the pathetic battery life and the back key not responding. Had to live with those issues and besides that the camera couldn’t connect error was frequent. It has several hardware issues and none were reported by him. Anyways i think gogi is doing a lot better when it comes to giving his own take.
Naynesh, I don’t agree with you, you see when we review a product we get it for some days and have to send the unit back, during that time its not possible to check the battery / performance as what a user who is using it daily would. We can estimate the performance at the most. Also in some cases its fault handsets so you need to get that checked at service center. Also avoid using pirated apps that again adds to more issues. I think review is the first step and user interaction is the seconds, if both gets a thumbs up the product is already a hit.
As for iGyaan.. I think they will be back.. (Loading…).
yup, they will come back, there are not going anywhere, they have about 88K flowers in Facebook & now one can Dare to lost their 88K flowers. They Must me changing Their Sites or Logo & their Appearance!
They Have Really Good Communication between the Company, Even they would Also Dont want to…..
Yes either they have sold the site or re-designing the site. But if its re-designing then the could have done it in parallel no need to show thing message, one fine day just go live with the new design.
A blog to flourish needs followers & well of sponsorship to maintain.. Aftrall,a blog does need money than people symphaty.. Am i ri8?? @gogi
True, Pritish.
Hey no offences. You people do a great job but the spice mi 410 had the back button issue which is recognized within 5 minutes, you keep on using the device and the back button stops responding then again you switch of the screeen and back on the issue is gone, this would not require days of review. Anyways their latest find Abhinav Bhargawa was the worst reviewer just look at his comparison of mmx a116 hd and the galaxy grand an you would come to know. They were just interested in reviewing all the premium phones.
Naynesh, most probably it could be a hardware touch issue with the back button. If that happens we do check with the company to confirm if its the same on other handsets too.
Don’t worry dude. I think they’re gonna come up with something new. Because there’s ‘LOADING’ right next to goodbye š
it is their strategy to collect people sympathy so when they will come back, they will have more viewers…. simple!
Its written that They are gonna come back with a new design…
Gogi will get first review unit of X2 in India š
Gogi,
I don’t know if Umi X2 is real or fake. But, I can tell you one thing they are running high on your name. And, that’s a good damn marketing strategy I must admit.. And, they told in theirfb page that , “U’ll be the 1st one to review it” & u r telling us that Umi are not replying to ur mails..:D That’s,also a good market gimmick..!
Prithish, I just saw a mail, UMI sent me 3 hours ago.. (This is the mail they sent to Andi Sykes of Gizchina).
Yes the mail also stats the same that you see on the FB page. As I said before better wait for the review.
Gogi , andi got the mail from indian guys , actually he want the clarification from umichina not umiindia………
Yes true, mail was sent via umimobiles.com.
Ok! Lets c who is true gizchina or Umimobiles..! If i assume correctly I would expect X2 review unit to reach gogi within 2-3 days. If not, then it will be a huge concern..
Gogi bro UMi Europe are also saying the reports(it will be delayed due to problems in the handset) are true on their Facebook page, so much of confusion, I don’t know what umi is upto :/
UMI COMMENTED ON ONE OF THEIR FB Status THAT ‘We will submit India`s First X2 For Gogi to review’.
Sir g ! Its a rumour. Check out umi fb page.
LOL guys just look at there site don’t u think that looks like an fake one !! they are not even established in china how can u trust on such company no one know after few days u come to know that the site which was prebooking the phone is no more there plz use your brain don’t just with specification just go for after sales service first let them establish service center then only purchase this.who know they sell u this junk n run away without any after sales service.
Team Umi has asked Andi Sykes and sent him an email with clarifications regarding Umi X2, genuine updates will be on facebook.com/umimobile
The First Umi X2 will be exclusively reviewed by Gogi in India, we want to clarify !!! All details will be emailed to Mr.Gogi regarding the shipment of samples & so on !!
But when y dont u admit lapses from ur side
Yep that would be okay as we all are waiting for gogi’s review then after we can think further(rather its a good buy in that price looking to config but aftersales services impact a lot)
Sir plse let me know the tentative date for the launch of Umi x2 . Else tempting to got for Canvas HD as every reviewer has gone with it against Samsung grand, zolo A 100e etc. But thing is i really want to opt for 13 MP, 32 GB etc phones which Canvs HD lacks.
Let the review unit come to gogi. No hurry burry I just follow gogi s instruction.
its a rumor.umimobiles just confirmed it.clarify please
plz review XOLO Q800 ,video review
UMI India has just clarified on their FB page that UMI X2 is in full swing and none of the rumors are to be believed. But if you look at their promises in past a month or so, it’s really getting hard to keep a faith on them.
– The price originally promised was 12-13k whereas the price they declared was 20k which again after some drama came down to final 14k.
– The exclusive Ebay Store was promised to be in action this week but still no signs of it at all.
– The PayTM was promised to be active soon but still they are offering only Bank transfer payment option.
– Service Centres and Experience Stores promises are repeated almost everyday but still it’s on papers only. If anybody reminds them on FB page, it is always requested to give some time.
– Review units were supposed to be delivered to Tech viewers including Gogi before starting the prebookings but now it’s been told that the review units will be dispatched after 18th March whereas the prebooking has been started promptly well before the date.
– Only thing they have done promptly is they have activated the Bank Account and started to collect the advance payments.
I think we should not make any advance payments at all to UMI. They should first deliver the product to reviewers atleast before asking for the advance payments.
Better stay away from X2……
LOL, since Deepak has been outright negative about Umi, he is been banned from Umi FB page :), a true promoter of MMX
I am owner of Canvas 2 & I really did like this phone. This doesn’t mean that I am a MMX Promoter. I have used products from other brands like SPICE, KARBONN, I-BALL, etc. & found that they too are maintaining some really good quality.
I change my phone whenever something new comes into the market. For your kind information, I too have booked X2 but I was against making any advance payments to UMI.
UMI has stated on their FB page that they are making a ban on the people who are posting bullshit posts in bad languages. In my entire post, I don’t think I have used any abused or bad language at all. And I don’t bother if they have banned me cause their FB page is not the only option where I can write or raise some genuine queries about their misguiding commitments and I am definitely going to publish this post at most of the blogs.
UMI might be highly impressed by our politicians or their Indian head might be some ex-politician. Their funda is “make a new tempting commitment every day so that people get attracted at you & forget the same every night.”
They are experts in deleting the posts & banning the people who raise the genuine questions & the reason is that they haven’t got anything to answer these queries.
That’s all & thank you your honor…….
U were correct on certain points,bt give dem sum tym dey r new dey will eventually do it na.. But it was again no ri8 of Umimobiles to ban u frm der fb page(if u didn’t use any abusive or slang language) And,Let me clear to all it’s India & its a damn democratic country nt republic for god’s sake.. And,it was nt fair to ban u,u hav everyri8 to ask questions..
Tumhe ban kar dia??:D lolzz.. Even ur post have also become der “UMI Joke Post Of The Day” U became a celeb 4 mmx congo u…:D
Thanks Prithish.
I think this rumors make by any other chinese company who hurts the prize and specs umi gave to indian customers.There are many iocean who launch law spec x7 young to chinese customers some other also like jiayu gionee zopo who making rumors wt the help of gizmochina to spoil UMI’S Name bcause Umi gets huge positive responce from indian customer.
Not true gogi..Just a rumour!
UMI india says on facebook that it is rumors only.
Hi Gogi Boss, just got an update on facebook page that the rumours are not true. And also want to know if it is safe to order UMI X2 from there site.
Raj, I would wait. Don’t order as yet, too much confusion, and no one has got the handset yet.
Gogi See What Umi is Saying, They Are Saying it just a Rumors
Well in that case its good news, but wait and watch is the best policy that one should follow as of now.
Gogi any news of iocean x7 ?
gogi micromax a91 is official it will sport a 4.5 inch screen with fwvga resolution with mtk 6577 chipset hope you will review it after its launch
Its still a rumor nothing confirmed about it.
gogi one important question, which is best resolution among Fwvga or Wvga, as you have informed as to stay out of one among these Because there quality is pathetic, i have forgotten which it was ?
If it is to believed & if UMI fails to ship the X2 around 15-20 th of March, this could probably kick out UMI from the Quadcore race.
All eyes now set on GIONEE DREAM D1 & if they too fail to deliver D1 before 20th March, MMX will definitely grab the opportunity. Again we might see the price of A116 rising to 15k or so.
Deepak, yes I too fear the price of A116 will rise a bit more.
We already have A116 competitor in the market..i.e Xolo Q800…According to me there is a hype created for A116…which is not even available in the market as of now…
I think we can trust Xolo as they are bringing brilliant phones in the market..What do you say GOGI ??
Xolo is a good brand and its quality product. Lava Q800 is a good alternative to Micromax A116.
Gogi, according to GIZCHINA.COM it’s 2gb ram which will require some optimization, not the display.
Well that too could be the issue but display is also (you see display too uses memory).
I think this is marketing strategy by umi.because every body goes with X2 very few people purchase x1. It will also effect on low cost x1s quadcore sale. So they giving first preference to x1, and upcoming low spec quad core model X1S afterwards they produce x2s version then they release X2, that’s it.
Nice cover drive…
Thanks Gogi ji š
LOL…Without quality check,how they announced it? They are going to loose very seriously in this aspect.How they are accepting orders still? What about refunds?
