UMi have been teasing us for a while now about the UMi Touch which was formerly known as the 'Apollo Project' in which UMi fans were asked what features they'd like to see in the next UMi flagship smartphone. The Apollo Project has ended and we've spent enough time with the Touch to give our full hands-on review leaving no stone left unturned.
So what does the latest UMi flagship offer? If an all metal body is your thing, then you are in for a treat as the UMi touch is almost a complete unibody design apart from the PPS material used over the antenna's to improve the signal. The soft curved edges high polished bezel certainly helps the UMi Touch to stand out from it's budget counterparts.

why don't they release it in india ?
Hi Karthik,
I wasn't aware that they weren't releasing in India. Have you checked with 3rd parties like BangGood - http://shrsl.com/?~bisj to see if they deliver to India? Make sure to check the GSM / 4G frewquencies are compatible with your Network as well.
Thanks,

between ELEPHONE M2 and UMI TOUCH which device would you recommend.
I'll have the UMi Touch in the labs, for testing, for the next couple of weeks. If you've got any questions, want to test check any apps, reply to this comment : )
My umi touch runs at 1.5Ghz straight out of the box, I haven't changed the settings or anything. So it's strange to see why some run at 1.3Ghz....
Hi Callum,
Yes, you're right I just checked the clock speed with CPU-Z and it states all eight cores run between 299MHz - 1.5GHz. I'v updated the article.
Thanks : )
Does the touchscreen work ok, sensitve enough?
Hey,
Yeah the touchscreen works great. No noticable difference between the Touch and my Nexus.
I've just got one of these to replace another Chinese Android phone. This one is really good. I know some American reviewer said the touchscreen was dodgy but mine is perfect. What's more, the Android 5.0 gremlin which stopped GPS working properly is gone in 6.0, and this works as a sat nav effortlessly. Really pleased with this mahoosive phone.
