Battle of the ultra budget phones. Pt. 1 Umidigi A3

Okay you all know I have the S10+ and the note 10+. And I always have flagship phones on my hip. Many have asked me to review those phones, and I will... Someday. Today I'm starting a series of reviews on what I call ultra budget phones. These are phones that sell for under $150.00 usd. I will also be pitting them against each other to see which one gives you the best bang for your buck. Today it's the Umidigi A3.

The specs on this phone are as follows. 5.5" screen, dual SIM plus Micro SD slot, 12mp and 5mp rear shooters, 8mp front facing camera, rear mounted fingerprint scanner, 3300mAh battery, 2GB ram, 16 GB internal storage,MT6739 Quad core processor, 1440x720 screen res. running Android Pie 9.0.

Now this phone isn't going to blow you away. This is after all a Ultra Budget phone. This is what you get that kid that can't keep a hold of their phone or maybe you just can't afford them a high end or mid range phone. There is nothing wrong with keeping it real. This phone will do just about anything you would need it to do. Now it wont be a gaming phone, the processor just can't keep up. This phone will allow you to text,make calls and surf the web. Facebook and the like as well will do just fine.

This phone would also work just fine for the elderly that want a bit more than a flip phone. You can change the font size to fit their needs.There is lag of course, after all this phone is $80.00 but for the money you get more than what you pay for. (wait for part two to see one that you don't get your money's worth)

The fingerprint scanner works pretty well and is fairly fast. I've had no issues with it. It says it has 2D face unlock but as of yet I haven't tried it. There is a "Pro" version of this device and I will be doing a write-up on that phone and will test the face unlock then.

At the end of this three part post I will have a link to my YouTube channel where you can see this device and the other two in action.

Stop back in, leave a comment or question and I'll try to answer it.
