It seems like each mobile maker in the world wants to introduce at least one 6GB RAM smartphone in 2016. This time, maybe it’s UMI’s turn and the handset will be called Super!

UMI Super specs to include 6GB RAM, dual cam and…

Previously, there were some reports mentioning that UMI Super specs would contain a Super AMOLED display and a dual camera setup on the back. Although specific numbers representing their strength have not been indicated, they are already two of the most modern features for smartphones nowadays, and somehow hints of the coming of a flagship.

However, we did not totally fall for this machine until now. New reports have been out and said that UMI Super will be packing a USB Type-C audio connector, ultra fast charging support (2 hours of voice calls after a 5-minute charge, and nearly one day of usage after a 30-minute charge) for its massive 4,000mAh battery, and up to 6GB of RAM. Wow, if so, the Super is really more excellent than many other flagships on the shelves.

The rest of UMI Super’s specifications are still unknown. Though, we think in order to handle such powerful specs, there should be a strong processor like Snapdragon 820 or MediaTek’s deca-core chip. And if the device also comes with a fantastic selfie snapper, say, at least capable of 8 megapixels, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS, and huge expandable ROM, UMI Super will be a hard-to-be-defeated smartphone. Do you agree?
