UMiDIGI A9 Pro Highlights and Overview

UMiDIGI A9 Pro is the higher version of the A7 Pro launched in April of 2020. Outwardly, the A9 Pro retains almost similar design language of the older A7-series, but got some interesting upgrades on the inside. The two most notable upgrades includes a larger 48MP snapper at the back, and yes, processing power now comes from the Mediatek Helio P60 CPU.

But the screen remains a 6.3-inch Full-HD+ display with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution, and come with same U-shaped notch above the screen, housing the selfie camera. Again, on the CPU wing, the UMiDIGI A9 Pro runs on the MediaTek MT6771V/C CPU, also known as Helio P60, an octa-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, along with Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. There’s either 4/6GB of RAM and 64/128GB internal storage, expandable up to 256GB via SD card.

On the optics, you are getting four camera modules at the back, with the main snapper being a 48-megapixel unit on the 128GB storage variant, and 32MP on the 64GB storage version, assisted by three other auxiliary lenses, while a single 24-megapixel selfie snapper seat in the notch upfront.

Like it predecessor, you are still getting a rear placed fingerprint scanner, same 4150mAh battery with 10W charger, dual 4G VoLTE enable SIMs and the latest Android 10 out of the box. Other key specifications and silent features of UMiDIGI A9 Pro are detailed in the specification table below.

UMiDIGI A9 Pro User Reviews and Opinions

  1. Ramil N. Patino says:

    I was expecting that Umidigi will use the Mediatek G series chipset on their next devices that will come out in the market…and battery as well too… still using the 4150mah… rather that using 5000 or 6000mah

    • I think you are right on the battery part, UMIDIGI have used this same battery in the A-series far too long, and should update to something bigger. But the CPU is a worthy upgrade from the previous A7 Pro. S5 Pro has Helio G90T, and the upcoming Power-series might use Helio G-series as well.

    Is it true that it has Corning Gorilla Glass 4 Front at Back? Corning.com doesn’t rate this.
