Umi X1 price in India: Rs 9999. This is yet another smartphone from Umi Mobiles, releasing soon in Indian market. It’s not as brilliant as Umi X2 but overall specs of the handset can impress you. Although it runs the MediaTek MT6577 platform RAM is increased to 1 GB which ensures faster and better multitasking. Micromax A110 or Karbonn A30 packs the same chip but RAM is just 512 MB in both handsets. Umi X1 is also not a phablet; it sports 4.5 inch display.
But display resolution is HD 720×1280 pixels. In recent times Micromax A116 Canvas HD is only announced with HD resolution. Rest of the low-cost handsets are dealing with WVGA or qHD. AGC Sodaline scratch resistant coating is there. The same scratch proof coating is already spotted in Micromax A110 Canvas 2 but it does not look as useful as Gorilla Glass. However, it’s better to have something rather than nothing. Umi X2 comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating which is pretty impressive. However, display supports 16m colors which means color rendering will be vivid and bright. Oh yes, ROM size is 4 GB and micro SD card slot is there.
Umi X1
Umi X1 sports 8 MP CMOS camera in rear with dual LED flash and 720p HD video recording. In front panel just above the display panel there is a 2 MP camera for video chat. It supports HSDPA speed but actual speed is undefinited. Possibly, it supports 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, micro USB are there. No TV out port is there.
Dual band Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct features are also missing. For location tracking Umi X1 supports A-GPS using Google Maps. It boasts 1700 mAh battery which would have been better with a 2000 mAh one. I am not convinced about the battery backup for Umi X1.

Umi X1 Price in India
Price of Umi X1 is Rs 9999. It’s the best handset is less than Rs 10000. Out of the box ICS may not sound too good especially if you are looking forward to try your hands in this new version of Android and Google Now. Only Byond B63 is available with Android 4.1 JellyBean, dual core processor, 8 MP camera in less than 10k but RAM is 512 MB. Therefore, it’s easy to say Umi X1 is best as per as specs are concerned.
About Manidip
@Manidip it comes with AGC sodaline scratch resistant display protection from japan. and its updated to android jelly bean now. Its not ICS as you mentioned in your post. Hopefully will get more information tomorrow.
@Vinay Yes, you are right AGC Sodaline is there. But JellyBean is for Umi X1S but this is Umi X1. I can’t confirm you right now that X1 and X1S are same device or not. But it might get JellyBean in future if not out of the box.
Both the Umi X1 devices are updated to Android jelly bean, very soon in India from Feb 10th
Thanks for the confirmation.

@ajay rao what about UMI’s after sales service. What are you doing for that?
UMI X1 pre cooking will start from 10 and the product will be shipped after 24th feb. It may be because of chineese new year. 3 months replacement guarantee and 1 year warranty on both the products.
How are you able to service the phone under warranty? any idea if they have service center in india , chennai. But the phone configuration is pretty amazing and if they have service center here then we can blindly go for this phone.
I am also not too sure about service center locations. Specs are amazing. I agree with you. But I don’t know whether there is any service center or not in Chennai.
Where can i buy umi phones in india
This phone too has great specs. Best part is they are opening office in New Delhi by march 2013.
Phone looks good and we can get warranty from delhi too.
JiaYu G4 and one of its impressive features is the 1.2GHz quad-core CPU based on Mediatek MT6589 chipset with 2GB RAM.
