Two new budget-friendly smartphones recently surfaced on the market – the UMiDigi A3 and the UMiDigi A3 Pro. Both feature premium iPhone-clone designs, with the Pro model also rocking a notch and receiving a small bump in performance.
As you can guess from the title, in this review I’ll be dealing with the UMiDigi A3 Pro. If you want to learn more about the non-pro version, then check it out the UMiDigi A3 review here.
So what sets the UMiDigi A3 Pro apart from the competition?
It comes down to three things. The first is the low price tag, the second is its premium dual-glass design and the third is that beautiful notch’d display. I’m a big fan of the glass sandwich design as they not only feel great, but look fantastic and are a rare treasure on budget phones.

Priced at around the £100 mark, ($125 | €115), it offers solid entry-level performance, stock Android 8.1 Oreo and a dedicated SD Card slot.
In short, if you are in the market for a good-looking budget phone that can handle light workloads, then the A3 Pro needs to be on your shortlist. But first, let’s take an in-depth look at what the UMiDigi A3 Pro has to offer in our full hands-on review.

Two more awesome phones from UMiDigi! Would you pay an extra £15 for the notch display and an extra RAM + Storage you get with the Pro version of the A3?
As always, post your comments and questions below! : )
Interesting!!
How would you rate UMI DIGI A3 vs One Plus X..... I am looking to buy a spare phone as I already have One Plus 3..... So which one should I go for... One Plus X refurb will cost me around $70ish and A3 will cost me $85.
I was a big fan of the OnePlus X when it came out. The design and build quality is top notch! My only concern would be with the battery life. Has the battery been replaced? Any OnePlus X has to be at least a few years old already.
As for the A3 it's a great budget phone, but if you budget can stretch the UMiDigi One with the Helio P23 is a much better choice : )
Lava!
There isn't much difference BTW both
Between the UMiDigi A3 and A3 Pro?
Very short battery life on standby. Lasts < 3 days. That's with absolutely no use at all, except for checking battery time remaining. Also set to turn on battery saver @ 70%. Phone is about 1 month old.
