Helio X25 not just for Meizu
UMi is one of the strongest performing Chinese brands which becamse popular because of its sub $200 phones. Recently the outfit announced its UMi Touch phone powered with MTK6753 octa core and now it seems that its successor, UMi Touch 2 is a Helio X25 phone.
Despite the fact that Meizu has been bragging about having an exclusive with the Helio X25, UMi's news confirms that the exclusivity only lasted for a month or two and not eternity. Other MediaTek partners wanted the Helio X25, especially as it is a 200 MHz faster version of the Helio X20 deca core with a top clockspeed of 2.3GHz.
UMi's last phone the UMI Touch uses MediaTek MTK6753 octa core powered by 1.7GHz clocked Cortex-A53 cores. It is selling for $149.99 + import and custom fees in Europe and USA. This is a reasonably prized phone with 4000 mAh battery, metal unibody and Android 6.0.
According to the sources in China , the company is working on an UMi Touch successor that should have the Helio X25 deca core. The phone will be called the UMi Touch 2.
Meizu PRO 6 is the first phone with Helio X25 with a three cluster and deca core configuration. The fastest cluster works at 2.5GHz and has two Cortex-A72 cores responsible for the eXtreme performance. The medium cluster has four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.0Ghz while the power-saving cluster that is responsible for power efficiency has four Cortex-53 cores clocked at maximal 1.4GHz. it comes with an updated T880 graphics at 850 MHz.
Zopo has showed its Speed 8 phone, which was supposed to be the word's first Helio X20 phone back in February. It has not shipped it yet but it can be pre-ordered for $279.99. This might get pricey when you add the customs and duty fees.
The Meizu PRO 6 32 GB will sell for 2,499 Yuan (342.1 Euro or $386), while the 64GB model costs 2,799 Yuan (383.4 Eur or $433) which is quite reasonable considering the spec. Hopefully the UMi Touch 2 can end up significantly cheaper than the Meizu PRO 6 but we don't expect to see this phone shipping anytime soon.
