Additionally, the UMIDIGI S2 Lite is available in Black and Red color options. In terms of material, it’s also made of metal cover and frames. The display is also covered with 2.5D curved glass. But the glass is gorilla glass while the S2’s is Corning Gorilla Glass 4. According to the specs of UMIDIGI, the display of S2 Lite is a 5.99-inch mutitouch screen, which is a bit different with the S2’s 6-inch display. But you still get the same resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and display colors of 16M.
