UMiDigi's A1 Pro - Could This Just Be The Best Entry Level Phone Ever!?

You heard it right! UMiDigi are releasing their second phone of 2018 with a name identical to the super popular Xiaomi Mi A1... coincidence? I think not!

UMiDigi's A1 Pro is facial recognition ready and features USB type-C fast charging proving, once and for all, that flagship features have well and truly trickled down into the reasonably priced phones category.

Powering the A1 Pro is the MediaTek's latest mobile chip, the uber power efficient MT6739. This is packed into a lightweight 173 grams body and will also feature a SHARP made display panel.

What's really special though is that UMiDigi A1 Pro comes with Android Oreo 8.1 straight out of the box. With security being a bigger concern than ever, the A1 Pro is off to a good start!

We already know that the A1 Pro looks the part, but how much of a punch is it packing under the hood? Let's find out.
