The Only mobile with Similar Specs but Price tag that is almost 4 times the UMI X2

But considering the fact that this beauty costs 44, 500 INR in India bargain hunters would definately appreciate the flexibility UMI gives with the same full HD 1080p Screen with an insane resolution of 441dpi!!!!

Though the Quad core processor by Mediatek is decent enough what is most impressive is the 2GB of RAM with 32GB of In built storage!! The presence of Micro SD slot means you can additionally expand the storage to another 32 GB taking the total storage to 64GB!!!

All these specs along with a 2500MaH battery might make you imagine that the phone is a bulky one, not so this phone is 9mm thin!!
