The ongoing trend with Chinese companies dropping flagship spec device to wow the market is getting to another level. In all honesty they actually help most of us with little budget stay in touch with latest trends...

So here are two very good devices with their good/bad/ugly side to help narrow down your choice of the 'necessary evil'

Currently #48,000 on jumia Antutu score of 130+

OK, here is the catch!

The Nokia is actually a beast when it comes to performance as it blows the Umidigi device out of the water. With an Antutu score of 130+ against the 66+ on the Umidigi device, it's safe to say the Nokia is a gaming machine.
This Antutu score betters that of several high end flagship phones that cost thousands to acquire

Though the Umidigi can boast of better ram and ROM space but is that enough to pay the #7,000 extra? Knowing very well the strength at which the Nokia x5 has over apps? It actually breeze through some of the advanced graphics games which automatically gives the Nokia x5 a big advantage no matter what the Umidigi one pro has to offer.

With such a powerful processor and beautifully crafted piece of machine, why come so cheap? Well here is why

The Nokia x5 has a very big problem with it's software and it has not gone down to well with it's users. 90% of current users of the device complain of blank screen.
With simple contrast, this device is approximately expected to last you about 2months... But if you're buying the Nokia x5 then you're certainly going to experience such ... Look at these complaints
