UMIDIGI F1 Quick Specs: Android 9.0 smartphone features a 6.3 inch FullHD display,128GB internal memory, 4GB RAM, Helio P60 processor, 5150mAh battery, 18W Fast Charge, NFC, and a16MP + 8MP dual camera .
The F1 has a waterdrop LTPS edge-to-edge display. There is no mention of any kind of protection for it. Which is odd. At this price, one would expect some.
The notch houses an array of sensors that include a 16 megapixel camera for selfies. The selfie camera provides face recognition so you can unlock the phone with your eyes. There is a fingerprint sensor at the back of the phone too, should you prefer using that.
The biggest feature of the Umidigi F1 is hidden away from sight. There is a 5150 mAh battery hidden away inside its slim body. And best of all, it supports 18W fast charging so you can top it up real fast when you need to.
The main camera on the F1 is a dual camera that combines a 16 megapixel primary lens with an 8 megapixel secondary sensor. For low-light situations, there is a dual-LED dual-tone flash provided.
Still on internals, the UMIDIGI F1 is powered by a Helio P60 chipset. There is 4 GB of RAM available, as well as a whopping 128GB internal storage. That is a lot of space for your pictures, videos and other files. And should you need more space, a memory card slot allows you to add a card of up to 256 GB.
This affordable 4G smart phone runs stock Android 9 Pie software. That means Umidigi has not customised the software in any way. 4G LTE support is quite wide: 21 4G bands are supported, and there is Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) available too.
If you use your smartphone for wireless payments, you will be glad to know that the F1 is equipped with NFC specifically for payments. It supports both Google Pay and on-vehicle payment.

UMIDIGI F1 Price and Availability
The costs $240.00 and is available on global e-commerce web sites like GearBest, AliExpress, as well as regional e-commerce web sites like Jumia and others.
OnePlus used to be the brand known for the tag, Flagship Killer but that brand has been producing smart phones that cost an arm and a leg of late. OnePlus has moved up the social ladder. Looking at the value that the Umidigi F1 packs and the price, it has earned the right to be called by that title.

The newly announced iPhone XS Smart Battery Case, which supports AirPower Wireless Charging Mat, will actually work with the iPhone X as well, though Apple is trying to keep that information from you .
At the beginning of this week, Apple launched a smart battery case for the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. The listing of this product on Apple’s website mentioned support for AirPower Wireless Charging Mat for a while before Apple removed that information.
The listing on the Apple website reportedly read, “The Smart Battery Case is compatible with AirPower Wireless Charging Mat and other Qi-certified chargers,” before it was expunged.
The AirPower Wireless Charging Mat has not been launched yet. Apple has already failed to meet up with a previously announced 2018 launch date. The wireless charging mat is now being expected to arrive later this year.
Meanwhile, based on information from Apple, users of the iPhone XS Smart Battery Case can expect 47% to 75% percent longer Internet browsing times when using the case than when not using it.
Using iPhone XS Smart Battery Case with iPhone X
Thanks to this tweet , we can confirm that the iPhone X can use the case, even though it isn’t designed specifically for it. The iPhone X and XS have similar physical dimensions. So, the X fits snugly into the case, like this:
According to Rene, you may get a warning that the accessory is not compatible with the phone, but it is safe to dismiss it. You might also need to reboot your iPhone or update the iOS software version to iOS 12.1.3 (beta version).
Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, Rene pointed out that the loudspeaker and microphone grills of the iPhone X are not aligned with the slots in the iPhone XS Smart Battery Case.
If music and audio are important to you, you might want to keep off from using the case with your iPhone X.
This misalignment of speaker and mic grills may be a key reason why the iPhone X is not stated as being compatible with the new iPhone XS Smart Battery Case on the Apple website’s support page.
iPhone X Max Smart Battery Case and iPhone XR Smart Battery Case
Besides the smart battery case for the iPhone XS, Apple also has battery cases for the iPhone XS Max and XR. Each case will set you back by just $129, should you want one.
There is no official battery case for the iPhone X by Apple, though such cases exist for older models like the iPhone 7, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6S. iPhone X users can pick from a number of 3rd party options available in the market though.
iPhone Battery Woes
It is still a wonder of the world how Apple ignores a well-known problem in the creation of an expensive product, and then turns around to sell an accessory – another expensive product – as the solution.to the initial problem. iPhones have had limited battery problems since the beginning of time. But year after year, the same Achilles Heel is built into each new model.
When will Apple iPhones ever have sufficient battery capacity built into them? Your guess is as good as ours.
Waiting For The AirPower Wireless Charging Mat
In the meantime, iPhone users eagerly await the arrival of the AirPower charging mat sometime later this year. It will be capable of charging not just iPhone models but also Apple Watch and AirPods.
The Cupertino giant is yet to announce a launch date for the AirPower charging mat, but info from the grapevine suggests that it is in production already and will hit the market anytime soon.
