UMi have had an interesting past. After launching the hugely popular UMi X1 a few years ago, the company hit the spotlight again last year with the UMi X2. But since then the UMi candle has been burning low, despite even the launch of the UMi X3.
The problem seemed to be that although UMi could make a capable flagship, they always seemed to produce lack-luster low to mid-range smartphones.
This is all behind them now and a new mid ranger is about to turn the company around. The UMi C1 is based around the chassis of the flagship X3, so you can be sure it is a great looking smartphone, and hardware has been tweaked to make it more affordable.
A quad-core MT6582 processor and 1GB RAM plus Android 4.4.2 are always a good mix when building a powerful phone on a budget. Throw all that in to a great looking steel chassis with 5.5-inch 720p Gorilla Glass display, micro SD card expansion and 13 mega-pixel main camera and it is all looking very peachy.

Unfortunately NOT gorilla glass!

Untouched Stock Rom & rooted Rom are available on needrom, I've uploaded 'em yesterday
I don't know what's the price but for €115 euro is this good.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
Is a good phone.
Great post! So, which ones and how many of these should I be trying to implement? What do you suggest?
Good phone but photo quality is poor and this is not a gorilla glas
Yes this phone is a good phone for the price, but, keep in mind that this phone is not a gorilla glas 3 mobile and that the photo quality is poor, if you want to root it you must use the last Vroot in chinese.

I am satisfied with the photos this phone is making, regarding the gg, putting on the screen protector available in the stock package will solve the issue. One drawback is the hd resolution for a 5.5" screen, this is the only thing i found a bit annoying, FHD could have been way better.

Has anyone noticed that screen randomly turns on and that sometimes you don't have internet access on wifi (this is very noticeable on hotspots which require log in) and then you have to turn wifi off, turn it back on and login again?

Now i got the other smartphone from my Chinese partner, it's Catee CT550, This smartphone is not the high-end one for me. But i still would like to have a good test of it. In order to let you know more real feelings about this smartphone and let you purchase right, i will introduce this smartphone from the following parts.
Pros:
5.5 Inch 960* 540 Pixel QHD IPS Screen

In this large-screen smartphone times, many smartphone manufacturers have created more phones with giant screen to attract more attention from the users, and this one is also in large screen. It sports by 5.5inch QHD IPS screen with 960* 540 Pixel screen resolution, although it's not HD or FHD smartphone, it's proper for me to watch videos in nice screen quality. So this is the one feature i should compliment.
MTK6572 Dual Core 1.3Ghz
Dual core smartphone didn't prevail now, but for those who such as elderly people are not used to quad core or octa core smartphone, this one is enough for them to use. So this smartphone has the clear customers' position. And i have tested the speed, it's not so bad, playing games or searching the Internet is good, but if you don't need your smartphone to play large 3D games, this one is so far , so good.
5.0MP Rear Camera
I am the one who like to take pictures by smartphone, not the digital camera, although digital camera has better picture quality and larger storage. But i am really satisfactory to use my phone to take photos, this one has 5mp back camera, which i think it can meet my needs to take pictures.
Support 3G Network, multilanguage, GPS and other practical application
As a good smartphone, the hardware is very important, but also the well-performed apps, now this one can support dual sim card, dual standby, and i can use freely about 3G network. Meanwhile, GPS is also my nice partner to guide the road for me. and i can also set up the mother tongue by this smartphone which can support multi-language.
2200mAh Battery
I use it for watching videos for about 3 hours, the battery has used 40%, i think it makes me feel good. I don't have to charge my phone every 4 hours, because i bought a samsung smartphone, the battery makes me really sad.
Very competitve price
You may be interested in the price, and i tell you it only costs $82.99 from China for free shipping. It has a very sound price for me. So other features seem not to be important now!
Cons:
RAM 512MB and ROM 4GB
This one only has RAM 512MB and ROM 4GB, if it were larger, i would like it more. I really recommend it can update to a larger storage.
0.3MP Front Camera
This one supports 0.3MP front camera, i think it should be improved, if i take pictures myself, it's not so clear.
In all, this one is a dual core smartphone which is full of competition in price and looks. I feel good. How about you?
As you know, there are so many sellers in China which sell Chinese smartphones. Now i have also got the other smartphone, Cubot S308, which is a also mid-range smartphone for my mother. And my mother has used it for more than a week, she thought it's very good, i also use it to play and share the experience with you.

Main Feature 1: 5.0 Inch 1280 * 720 Pixel HD Screen
Cubot S308 has 5inch HD ips screen with 1280 * 720 Pixels, which show the great screen color when i watch the movies. And when i touch the back cover, it is very comfortable. I am very satisfied with the design and screen. This one has better screen resolution than Cubot S168.
Main features 2: MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz
As for Cubot S308 CPU, it's powered by MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz, which make the smartphone run well and i also didn't find any difference between Cubot S308, and Cubot S168 in running the speed.
Main Feature 3: 2GB Ram 16GB Rom
This one has larger storage with 2GB Ram 16GB Rom than that of Cubot S168, I am very satisfied with this features, because i am a movie lover to download many videos in the smartphone. So i don't have to buy the extra TF card.
Main features 4: 13.0MP Back Camera 5.0MP Front Camera
I also have tested the dual camera, this one has 13.0MP Back Camera 5.0MP Front Camera, which take nice photos in the day to memorize every beautiful moment, even at night.
Main Features 5: 1800mAh Battery, Good GPS, Google play store and Multilanguage
The battery life is something purely subjective and has to do with the use that makes everyone on his phone. I personally use it more like a telephone with some use wifi and gps. With this use of my lasts about two clock. Clearly better than the battery of my other mobile (Inew V3) .
Therefore, i really like this Cubot S308 smartphone, it's perfect for me not only the specs, design, price . By the way, any question about the smartphone can contact me. I will be glad to help you!

When i got this smartphone, i was really surprised by the nice design as Oneplus one. Would you like to share with me?

5.0 Inch 1280 * 720 HD IPS Touch Screen
ln view of apperance, it’s a really 1:1 Oneplus one clone, with 5inch HD IPS screen, which provides me with the ultra-clear video quality, and i can also record Full high definition video. The overall design looks premium and the slightly curved back actually helps you to hold it perfectly on your palm. As for me, the screen is very important, i like to watch TV by smartphones. So what’s your idea about the screen quality?
1GB Ram 8GB Rom
In addition, i have tested the internal memory, the official website said it has RAM 1GB ROM 8GB, but the actual specs is that it doesn’t have RAM 1GB ROM 8GB, because the system needs to take up some storages. Therefore, if you think the storage is not enough, you can insert a TF card to expand the storage to 32GB. I also have tried that. It works for me.
MTK6592 Octa Core 1.7GHz
It’s very important for a user that a nice smartphone must have a good display, but also it should have a powerful performance like CPU. I am glad to tell you that Elephone G6 is powered by MTK6592 Octa core 1.7GHz processor, which runs twice faster than those quad core smartphones. When i play 3D games, like Temple Run, i can’t believe the speed. This is the real charm of Octa core smartphone.
13.0 MP Rear Camera 2.0 MP Front Camera
What i care most is not only the hardware, but also the dual camera. I love to take photos when i am traveling. I guess it’s not convenient for me to use digital camera to take photos, therefore, i try this elephone G6 with 13.0 MP Rear Camera 2.0 MP Front Camera. The photos look good in the day, also work well at night. If you don’t believe me, just have a good experience of it.
upport 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Multilanguage, OTG, Play Store, Fingerprint ID
I have to praise this elephone g6, because it has influential fingerprint ID, and google play store. The former function can be used for locking the screen, and set enciferment for apps. Therefore, i will never worry about the privacy revealing. Meanwhile, if i need any software, or apps, i will search the google play store to download. This one can really meet my personal needs. How about you?
In conclusion, elephone G6 is not only the best oneplus one clone, but also the high-end smartphone to let me enjoy it conveniently. I am really phone addictor. More news about the smartphone can contact me. Hope i can share more news with you!
By the way, 1949deal starts to sell it at $149.99, http ://goo.gl/FCGPYI . Hope you can enjoy this oneplus one clone, elephone g6.

Review and rooting guide below.
Review
Performance- The Mediatek chip performs exceptionally well in this device. I'm pretty impressed with what this company has been doing with its cpu stuff lately.
Build- It feels solid.
LTE- Many low budget phones are still shipping with HSPA, so it's nice to see LTE in this one.
Display- It's not really a bad display, but it's clear that it's a cheaper panel. Really just way too cool in my opinion.
On screen keys- these are literally the best thing they have done on the phone
Android 5.1- I seriously doubt it'll ever see any update, which is a bummer.
When it comes to looks, I'm kind of torn on how I feel about the Xfire. On one hand, I think it's kind of OK looking; on the other, I think it looks cheap. The thing is, I can't really tell what it is that makes me think the latter - perhaps (most likely?) it's the plastic back. It doesn't really look terrible, but it doesn't really scream "premium" to me either.
The overall size and form factor are pretty great, though. It's got a 5-inch display, which is a really nice size no matter how you slice it. It also feels very solid and well-made - not at all like a $50 phone. The build quality definitely offers the more premium feel that I like to see on more low budget phones
Camera - the camera is pretty rock solid on this one, check out some pictures i took
Software - This phone runs vanilla android and is all but stock with some minor "useful" software customizations offered.
Performance and benchmark - this device performance good and doesnt lag, also the multitasking is pretty good.
i have performed antutu benchmark and here are the results
Conclusion - i really love this device, i bought this device as an extra if at all i brick my main devices due to rom testing .this little 50$ beast is perfectly standing upto its price and delivering its best
Rating -
Rooting
Rooting the phone is as simple as installing a app,
just install kingroot apk from below and install it
open it, follow on screen instructions
Question?
Hey do you know if there is a recovery for this device? I really need one thanks

Alright thanks for the reply though
maybe there is somebody able to make one, and would be nice to know if xposed was running than?! I read on some reviews that it should get marshmallow, can anybody confirm that? and what about the promised roms cm and miui?!
thanks man.
how much is left in the internal memory, for apps? is it a one partition system, or two?
5,04 gb is left, one partition.
Nobody interested in doing some development for the xfire?
There is a new official rom for the xfire.

Did not note any (visible) changes.
How to get this phone with $50, it costs more than $70 in all stores?! Thanks!
