Hi Guys & girls.
Today im going to be looking at the new UMIDIGI S2 Pro kindly sent to me from Gearbest
Iv been playing around with the new UMIDIGI S2 Pro over the past week.
Im more than happy with this phone & im realy starting to love it,The device looks awesome with its big 6.0 inch 2160 x 1080 pixels screen.The aspect ratio of the screen is 18:9 and the screen-to-body ratio is of 90%.This phone runs on MediaTek Helio P20- 64-bit octa core processor and is snappy to use but i feel it could be a lot better with out the UMI OS Firmware.

Looks & feel

The phone feels sturdy with its aluminum body. With the 6 inch IPS LCD display, this phone sure does enhance the user’s viewing experience

On the edges of the phone you will find curved corners, as well as the usual buttons and inputs. On the right-hand side is the power key and volume rocker,



On the left hand side there no buttons, Just the sam card tray



On the bottom of the phone is the Type C charging port,Speaker,Microphone



On the rear is the twin camera,Flash light along with the fingerprint sensor



Operating system

The operating system is the latest version of UMI OS which is based on Android 7 Nougat. Some might not like the UMI OS interface but Im starting to like it, it’s smooth and easy to use. But You will notice some bloatware pre installed that can not removed.This i do not like i want to be the one that picks what i have installed on my phone or at lease let me remove the crap that i dont want there.Opening apps does not happen fast and instant most apps take 3 or 4 seconds to load.
