Yes, probably one of the best design i have ever seen. Also the color is pretty nice.

After rose gold, will slate gray be the new “black”?

Black has long been favored not only in the fashion history, but also in the mobile phone industry. However, it seems that black is losing its dominating position. First comes rose gold that has been popularized by iPhone 6S, and then we see blue is stealing the thunder when Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Huawei Honor 8 made their public appearance.

Classic as black is, UHANS decided to ditch this color variant on UHANS A101 by using slate gray, which they name it as Midnight navy and white that’s named Cloud dancer.

What we’re gonna talk about here is slate gray. It is a gray color mixed with a slight azure tinge that represents the average color of the material slate. Probably that’s where the name comes from. It is a color between black and deep blue. The blue is quite deep, almost close to gray, which also conveys our founder’s love for Nokia and this is how we’re giving tribute to Nokia.

Besides, the color itself expresses a lot about style-consciousness. It combines luxury with casualty, peaceful and calm. It is also a color quite popular in house decoration, while it looks also attractive in hair style and special in dressing style. Holding a phone of that color in hand, you can easily shift from workplace to personal life fashionably.

Will it become a new trend of popularity just like rose gold of iPhone taking the world by a storm?​

How am I gonna leave fingerprints on UHANS A101?

Inspired by Casa Vicens, the design of UHANS A101 is full of slight and warm curves. In order to make it more delicate, they have put two layers of rubber coating to the back cover. And it feels insanely good.

Rubber coating is also called leather coating as it feels just like leather. Unlike glossy glass and plastic which feels cold and slippery, rubber coating gives the hand a warm and soft feeling. What’s more, the texture matches well with the round shape and curves.

However, what I like most about it is not the hand feeling, but the anti-fingerprint feature. Normally, it doesn’t catch fingerprints at all until your hands get pretty greasy or something. Samsung S7/S7 edge has been complained of smudging as hell because of the glass back. In contrast, UHANS A101 stays clean as hell.​

UHANS A101: A tribute to Nokia or a parody to Samsung Galaxy S7?

While UHANS A101 is paying tribute to Nokia, some said it looks more like a tribute to the Galaxy S7 and S4 because they’re so much alike. Galaxy S7 or S4? Whatever. See how it looks like.

Samsung Galaxy S7 has a meaningfully different look and touch with rough edges smoothed. The curves are bold, totally changing how users think about smarphones’ shapes. This is exactly what UHANS A101 is trying to learn from it. However, not all of it. The plastic with rubber coating A101 applies is distinctive from S7’s premium glass. Guess they want to get rid of all the smudges that comes with glass material though it looks and feels quite so damn nice. That said, the texture of A101 may be soft and fingerprint-resistant.

A premium design does not only make S7 the best smartphone, but the specifications. It’s got quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and 32/64GB ROM, 5.1-inch super AMOLED display with 1440*2560 resolution. It runs Android 6.0 and has a 12MP rear camera, 5MP camera and 3000 mAh battery capacity. What’s more, it is IP68 certified. UHANS A101 is nothing compared to Samsung Galaxy S7. What powers it up is quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor pairing with 1GB RAM ans 8GB ROM. It also runs the Android 6.0, however, it has a 5.0-inch display with 1280*720 resolution, 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera. The battery capacity is 2450mAh. The A101 takes three very Nokia-like characteristics and blends them into a modern Android smartphone. It’s compact and hard-wearing, and has a removable battery.

However, there’s no point in comparing the specs without considering the prices. High-end specs of Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with a price. Indeed, a high price about $750, which is almost 10 times as UHANS A101.

UHANS CEO Eric Wu said, “People are overusing smartphones these days, some are even addicted, so we want more and more functions on a smartphone. But we don’t really need that much, sometimes less is more.” Therefore, the A101 goes back to basics with minimal specs to meet the most basic needs.

The A101 clearly isn’t made to be a powerhouse. It’s made for affordability so that anyone can afford one, and the expected cost is less than $70. Pre-orders for the A101 will begin in a few days.​

Finally we can compare the screen of this A101 with other devices, this time with a Galaxy S7. I know, the former has a IPS screen while the latter an AMOLED screen, but at least you can the color accuracy and brightness.

I'm curious to compare it with the UHANS S1 that had a really nice screen.​

Five Reasons Why UHANS A101 is one of the best $60 Smartphone

From the very beginning, UHANS A101 has been defined as an entry-level smartphone with good quality just like Nokia, paying respect to Nokia. And indeed, it may be one of the best smartphone with a $60 price tag.

First of all, though it is priced at $60, the way it looks is nothing cheap. All the round corners and smooth lines make up an elegant shape. The sides of A101 curve it slightly and slips softly into users’ palms, which is so much more ergonomic and much easier picking it up off a flat surface.

The Sharp 5.0-inch display A101 adopts performs quite good. The total effect of color gamut, brightness and contrast ratio, almost catches up with Samsung Galaxy S7. Corning Gorilla 4 2.5D glass makes a very tough companion with the display, covered by two layers of anti-fingerprint coating, highly protecting the display from damages and smudges.

Unlike most smartphones, the housing cover, as well as the battery, is removable. Besides, the housing cover comes with rubber painting. Users don’t have to worry about whether it’ll be attached with any fingerprints or grease.

The independent BOX Chamber of the A101 provides users great sound effect. Powerful, crystal-clear audio and a completely immersive feel are what users can feel addictive.

The most distinctive thing the A101 has is no doubt the 4G network. Almost every smartphone priced at $60 will not consider about it. However, UHANS A101 supports this 4G network, together with VoLTE, distinguishing itself from other entry-level smartphones. In other words, it not only distinguishes, but kills them.

To sum up, UHANS A101 is undoubtedly one of the best $60 smartphone that beats others.​

What Can You Afford with 60 Dollars?

The currency rate of each country differs, which lets people well aware of the fact that we may not buy the same thing in two countries with the same amount of money. So here comes the question: what can you afford with 60 dollars in different countries?

In Germany, 60 dollars equals 100 bottles of beer, coffee for a week or a meal for 2 persons. In US, a boy can buy a pair of shark wheels, a set of nice trucks from caliber, cheap deck or bearings. Things go a little different in Portugal, it is said that people can get 3 to 4 new books, take 3 people to a nice dinner, 5 new CDs or around 50 beers.

While in UHANS, you can get an A101 with a beautiful round design that you’ll fall in love with. UHANS A101 is positioned as a smartphone at entry-level range, thus the price will not be ridiculously high but quite acceptable for the budget. What’s more, MediaTek MT6737 64-bit processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage, 5MP rear camera, 2450 mAh battery capacity together with Android 6.0, everything fuels up the A101 and make it good for users who don’t need, or can't spend, too much.

The price won’t stay at this price for a long time though, so i don't know how much it will be increased for the final one.​
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Also, UHANS posted a funny video on their YT Channel about cooking pop-corns with a smartphone. Well we all know that this isn't real though, it was a myth, but they tried to make it funny.

Hi I Bought this smartphone but time will pass before you have it, I'd like to have more detailed information What Not have already been published self Someone has already tested this smartphone can help me? Maybe giving me information on the camera, on video, on Android 6 Optimization with this terminal, etc. Thank you very much
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
English please. Thank you.

I can't reply you in Italian.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
What do you need to know precisely?

I have an engineering sample here, and it works pretty good.

- Camera Quality is great even if it is just 5MP (you will find an example just before, post #15)

- Android Transitions/Animations are buggy though on 20160830 (and also on previous ones) release

- Touch Sensitivity doesn't have any issue

- As regards the performance, it is pretty good and all apps seem to run smooth with no lags

Let me know if you want to know more, be more specific and ask whatever you need to know :)

I can't review this device because it is an engineering sample, otherwise i would have already provided this kind of information in my review. I'm waiting for the final version.
[Device Reviews and Information] tuccio:
1980p video recording? the autofocus suffers from shuttering? you have backlit keys? the GPS works well? in the exchange rate between 3g and 4g it disconnected? do you think is better one Snapdragon 410 with Adreno 306 same ram and rom of this or the mt6737 with evils t720 mp2 of this? thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
1) 1080p Video Recording seems to be here

2) No Major Auto-Focus Issues noticed

3) No Backlit Keys

4) GPS not tested, i don't know if my sample has a GPS antenna haha

5) 3G/4G not tested

6) Probably equal, more or less the same, but Qualcomm CPUs are better optimized

[Device Reviews and Information] geeekystuff:
Yeah unfortunately not i'm afraid. I received the UHANS A101 today and i've created an unboxing video, not sure if i can share it here??

I have just noticed the YouTube app is not able to update, so you are stuck with an old version and the only way to remove it would be to root the phone.

It also runs the Freeme OS which is exactly the same as the LEAGOO M5 and that also had the old version of youtube you could not update.

Just search youtube for 'UHANS A101 UNBOXING'

Geekystuff!

[Device Reviews and Information] geeekystuff:
Im using the phone for a few days before doing another video.

I also want to try and root it, not sure I can??
[Device Reviews and Information] InfcBear:
So as far as you used it,did it have any malfunction? And call quality? [emoji1]

Do you think it's good phone? Nobody will regreat if they buy it?
[Device Reviews and Information] geeekystuff:
There doesn't seem to be any malfunction with it. Call quality is good, you can hear quite clearly and the person at the other end can hear clearly too, so no problem on that.

I use GPS a lot and the GPS is spot on and works well.

The only disappointing thing for me, because i use it so much, is the YOUTUBE app! You can't update it unless you root the phone. The Youtube app is buggy too. WHY DO THEY DO IT?? LOL!

But other than that, i think it's great so far.
[Device Reviews and Information] InfcBear:
And 1 more thing.I noticed in your review that speaker and mic are close to each other.Does speaker affect microphone recording and calls when it is on? Can person that you talk to can hear his own voice?

[Device Reviews and Information] geeekystuff:
Yes

I flashed TWRP onto the UHANS A101 but when i restarted the phone into recovery mode the TWRP app just freezes, you cant swipe to unlock for modification. I have to remove the battery to restart the phone.

Weird.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
It doesn't freeze, the touchscreen is not working on TWRP. I had to use adb, while in recovery mode, to modify the system.

[Device Reviews and Information] Kitarist:
Is there any other great budget phone as this one? Anything worth to spend a little bit more and get something "better" for that kind of similar budget?

I'm also checking out the BlackView A8 MAX PRO and DOOGEE X5 MAX PRO.

Uhans would be perfect if it would have better battery capacity and 2gb memory :D
[Device Reviews and Information] tuccio:
it may be that doddge x 5 max pro is better (on paper), but I have not seen so many positive reviews starting with the fingerprint scanner, then is not the same price costs 25 $ extra. Before You Buy Read Reviews
[Device Reviews and Information] Kitarist:
Just looking for a decent phone the uhans looks promising but 8gb rom is kinda low for todays standards... Thats usually then only 4gb free and then if you include system updates etc... not much probably left :)
[Device Reviews and Information] tuccio:
with Android 6.0 is no longer a problem, the ROM memory. since the micro sd (recommended class 10) board is seen as rom memory. It is no longer as kitkat that you could not transfer of micro sd card. google is back on his feet! (THANK GOD ;)

2/ How do I proceed? Do I have to download files on my computer then on my cellphone or can I do this directly?

My pc cannot recognize uhans A101!!!

Alll other phones have no problem.

Youtube cannot update...

My god, i bought (2) of them...

DO something for this, or else this brand and phone are defective!!
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
1) Choose "Download only" or "Firmware Upgrade" and you won't lose your IMEI

2) Just follow the standard SP Flash Tool firmware upgrade guide that you can find on Google :)

Check the MTP driver on your PC, it is probably broken.

About the YouTube issue, the only workaround is to root your device and update it by yourself.
