UmDigi launched the S2 Pro for a market that would be pleased with a massive 6.0-inch screen and even more massive specs on the inside. The UmiDigi S2 Pro is made with a Helio P25 chipset running on eight different cores and clocking no less than 2.6GHz.
The same smartphone goes on to feature an impressive 16MP snapper on the front for selfie and video calling needs while the back is home to a dual camera setup – one at 13MP and the other rocking a 5MP sensor.
While we would have loved to see a fingerprint sensor, the smartphone impresses in its offering of Android 7 Nougat on a configuration of 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage space. We don’t even mind if there won’t be a microSD card slot on board for possible expansions, but there is.
Powered by a massive 5100mAh battery, the device makes use of dual SIMs to keep your multiple modules in the same unit
2. Huawei P9 Lite
The Taiwanese OEM’s introduction of a P9 Lite sees a 5.2-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920, working in to around 424 pixels per inches. Powered by an octa-core Kirin 650 processor, the smartphone is coupled with a 13MP rear camera (with LED flash) and an 8MP snapper on the front.
We don’t get dual cameras on this phone and we also don’t get any biometric security features. Running the Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, the Huawei P9 Lite has 3GB RAM on a rather small 16GB of internal memory. If you feel the same way, you are welcome to take advantage of the microSD card slot on board.
To round it all off, the P9 Lite will be powered by a decent 3000mAh battery
3. BlackView BV8000 Pro
Many would not have heard of the BlackView but with the BV8000 Pro, we get a phone that runs on an octa-core processor and can clock as much as 2.3GHz. Featuring a fingerprint sensor for added security, the device goes on to pair a larger than life 6GB RAM to 64GB of internal storage space.
Rugged-looking in all sense of the word, the BlackView BV8000 Pro handles camera needs with a 16MP sensor on the back and an 8MP sensor in the front.
Equipped with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, the lights will always be kept on by the 4180mAh battery. Additionally, the same smartphone supports multiple languages, dual SIMs and encloses all that in a 5.0-inch FHD screen
4. Xiaomi Mi A1
Xiaomi builds the Mi A1 with a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixel. With a standard bar design, the innards of the smartphone are equipped with an SD 625 octa-core processor from QUALCOMM and memory configurations of 32GB and 4GB RAM.
If you think those are impressive specs, wait till you learn that this same smartphone has dual cameras on the back (12MP + 12MP), a dual tone flash to go with them and draws power from a 3080mAh non-detachable battery.
Likewise, the Xiaomi Mi A1 allows the user expand the memory with the aid of a dedicated microSD card slot. Support for dual SIM technology and fingerprint detection/ unlocking is also packed with the device. Rounding off the specs with a selfie shooter of 5MP, it is even more impressive that this front camera can be used to activate the facial recognition feature
5. Leagoo S8 Pro
The Leagoo S8 Pro 4G-ready phablet displays a 5.99-inch screen with its resolution set at 2160 x 1080 pixels for the best viewing experience. Under that beautiful screen is an octa-core Helio P25 chipset that can reach a clock speed of 2.6GHz. Those specs are then bettered by the pairing of 6GB RAM with 64GB of internal storage.
Should that not be enough for the user, you are welcome to expand the space up to 128GB with the dedicated microSD card slot on board.
Diving further, we get a 13MP shooter in the front and dual camera units, rated at 13MP and 5MP, on the back of this smartphone. Supporting dedicated dual SIMs and fingerprint unlocking and identification features, a 3050mAh battery supplies the power needed to keep the unit alive between charges
