[Device Reviews and Information] Rupertlove:
Dont buy UMI Touch

The MI Touch is a piece of junk. Dont buy it. I say this after my own purchase and 2month trial and observing similar experoences of others wasting their money on a Touch.

The first thing that makes the device unusable is the 'Touch'screen ( ironic eh !) The lower section of the screen does`nt register letters typed from a keyborad. Extremely frustrating and off putting.

Next, all Touch`s I`ve seen have the return button placed askew in its housing. It not only looks cheap, its diconcerting...and amazing that the factory QA would let it pass. Apparently, the Touch`s successor the Super, has the power button placed askew.

The bezel is not consistent and has a wider margin left compared to right.

The Touch, like UMI Super, does`nt have NFC.

No use reporting the failures to UMI. Their agent JoJo simply fails to comprehend the complaint and refers you to the reseller. Very poor service where evidently, the failure is with design, manufacture and quality assurance.

Dont buy a UMI Touch.

Similar design?

Many say that the UMI Touch look like the Meizu M3 note or Meizu MX5. What do you think?

Other ROMS?

UMI have posted some pictures of the UMI Touch running Windows phone 10, but so far only pictures.

So until we see a real rom this is still unconfirmed.

How is the gaming performance?:

I would say in the middle, average. Not super but also not totally bad.
