Photo Announcement. UMIDIGI C1 and UMIDIGI G1 are budget twin smartphones

Smartphones appeared in a well-known Chinese online store UMIDIGI C1 and UMIDIGI G1.

They differ from each other only in a set of colors and (very little) dimensions and weight. C1 is three grams lighter. Why dont know. Probably, the body materials are different.

Here are all three colors of UMIDIGI C1.

And here is UMIDIGI G1.

Smartphones run Android 12 Go Edition. So, of course, they are not particularly powerful. Although, in fact, if it were not for the extremely weak chipset, then one could saywell, it's not all that bad. But MediaTek MT6739 in 2022 is ridiculous. 50-60 thousand points in AnTuTu.

Memory. 2 GB operational and 32 GB permanent. Plus, there is support for memory cards, but the tray is hybrid.

Screens of stars from the sky are missing, of course. But full-fledged big at least. Diagonal 6.52" (103 cm²), resolution 720x1600 (269 ppi).

The battery is good, 5150 mAh. But without fast charging.

Cameras. The front has a resolution of 5 MP. There are two rear cameras, 13 + 2 MP - main and macro. It is better not to hope for too good quality of pictures.

No fingerprint scanner �Fingerprint and NFC module, but there is dual-band Wi-Fi and even Type-C.

With the price, as usual, everything is complicated. Now on AliExpress the price tag is $99.19 (₽6830). But, according to the advertising banner, at some point the cost of devices should fall from $159.98 (₽11000) to $79.99 (₽5450). Here is the last number, it seems, and you need to consider the real cost of twin smartphones. Only when they will cost so much, unfortunately, is still unknown.
