There are conflicting reports as to if the delay for the UMi X2 is true or not, however Chinese media are reporting that the delay is true and it is due to problems with the RAM, as we stated. UMi Europe are also saying the reports are true on their Facebook page here. We’re following this closely and will let you all know if there are any changes/updates.
Bad
news UMi X2 fans, UMi have informed the Chinese media that the X2 will
be delayed due to optimisation issues, however the quad-core UMi X1S is
ready and waiting in the ranks!
Thousands of hopeful UMi X2 fans
are going to be highly disappointed this weekend as UMi have broken the
news that the X2 won’t be launching as soon as they had hoped, and
instead the updated X1S will see production first!
Apparently the
delay is due to optimisation issues with the Mediatek MT6589 quad-core
processor accepting 2GB RAM! This actually explains why ‘Youth’ versions
of popular MT6589 phones have been appearing on sale, not to mention
the 1GB RAM UMi X2 video we posted earlier today. UMI X2 might come with 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM this will definitely disappoint the fans. Price might be same Rs. 14000 or might go lower not sure on the price updates so far.
On the other hand the UMi X1s is ready to rock with supply chains
confirmed and the factory prepared to start manufacture. The UMi X1S is
an updated version of the X1 which launched last year and actually
features the same hardware but with an updated quad-core MT6589 CPU.
For
those of you not familiar with the UMi X1S the phone packs 1GB RAM, 8
mega-pixel rear camera, 2 mega-pixel front camera, 4.5-inch IPS display
with 1280 x 720 HD resolution and Gorilla Glass 2 plus Android 4.1 Jelly
Bean.
Pricing for the UMi X1S, which will be available in both black and white will be Rs. 8500.
