Umidigi F1 Phablet comes with flagship features like FHD+ waterdrop full screen, Helio P60 processor, 5150 mAh big battery, 128GB ROM and Android 9.0 as operrating system. The UMIDIGI F1 has a a 6.3-inch waterdrop full screen with FHD+ resolution (2340 x 1080) and in-cell LTPS display, protected by 2.5D curved glass. Thanks to the tiny notch and small bezel, it reaches an incredible screen-to-body ratio of 92.7%.
The F1 is powered by a flagship SoC Helio P60 with the 128GB onboard storage and LPDDR4X 4GB RAM, with up to 256GB expansion via microSD. The Helio P60 chipset has been used on the OPPO R15, F9 Pro, Vivo Y97 and some other flagships, which is about the same level as the Snapdragon 660 so it can handle heavy games like PUBG easily without lag.
On the back it’s got the dual camera 16MP + 8MP setup with F/1.7 aperture, the same camera setup as UMIDIGI’s flagship UMIDIGI Z2 Pro, while the front-side selfie camera contained within the waterdrop notch has a 16 megapixel sensor, which can provide clearer beautiful selfies as well as better video calls. Moreover, the F1 is packed with a huge 5150mAh battery with 18W fast charging as well as NFC. With such massive capacity, it features just 8.8mm thin body, which is so impressive. Besides, the F1 is the first device of UMIDIGI to run on Android 9.0 Pie.
The AI plays a huge role and it improves battery and brightness a lot in Android Pie. The Adaptive Battery function powered by AI learns how you like to use your phone, so the apps and services you don’t use as much aren’t a battery drain. While the Adaptive Brightness feature learns how you like to set brightness and automatically adjusts it.
Thanks to AI smarts improving both battery and brightness offered by the Helio P60 AI processor, the UMIDIGI F1 with 5150mAh battery can ensure you get the most out of a single charge. We continue to list the rest of the premium equipment. The F1 also has Dual 4G VoLTE, Global bands, face unlock and fingerprint sensor. And it has a sleek, slim design with red, black and gold three colors. UMIDIGI F1 is indeed a great surprise.
