UMiDigi A7S Review

What a crazy world we live in! The latest super-budget phone from UMiDigi, the A7s, now comes with a built-in infrared temp checker for less than £100/$100.

Not the first to have this unique feature, it uses the same infrared sensor as the A9 Pro we reviewed at the end of last year. It also keeps the same size 6.53" display and large 4150mAh battery but downgrades the resolution, camera & processor to reach that $80 sweet spot.

In this full in-depth review of the UMiDigi A7S, we're going to find out whether the A9's little brother has what it takes to earn a place in your pocket!

Instead of the non-contact IR thermometer, I believe UMiDigi should have positioned the A7S as a budget smartphone for digital detoxing.

Hear me out! For $80, you get a phone that handles all the necessary stuff like making calls, setting alarms, listening to music, using maps, and even calling an Uber.

However, it won’t let you waste time playing games. If you don’t quit, it’ll hang and crash, until it quits on its own. And although you’ll be able to open social media, the sporadic UI lags and stutters will prevent you from using it for too long.

You see what I mean? The perfect phone for digital detoxing!

It also serves as a great secondary device which you can use as a backup for those emergency situations.

Do we recommend UMiDigi A7S? Yeah, but mostly as a secondary phone. Or maybe for your grandparents who need a large screen dumbphone for their ageing eyesight.
