Amazon sales of little-known but ‘brilliant’ Android phone soar by 691% as price is cut from £90 to £76

AMAZON sells a lot of different SIM-free phones but I’ve spotted a red-hot deal on a little-known Android mobile.

The Umidigi G3 is now marked down from £89.99 to just £76.49. One reviewer even mentioned that it packs the features of a high-end phone without the hefty price tag.

I stumbled upon this gem while browsing Amazon’s trending electronics, which is always a goldmine for discovering the latest hot items.

In just the past 24 hours, sales of this budget-friendly Android phone have soared by 691%.

The Umidigi G3 smartphone is already great value for money at £89.99, but with a decent 15% discount, it’s now only £76.49.

The bargain smartphone offers high-end features that belie its price tag. It runs on Android 13, providing advanced gesture navigation, dark mode, and comprehensive privacy controls.

Under the hood, it’s powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 quad-core processor and 7GB of RAM, promising smooth performance.

With 64GB of internal storage and the option to expand up to 1TB, the G3 offers ample space for all your apps, photos, and files.

Its edge-to-edge 6.52-inch HD+ display features a 1600×720 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, which are impressive for a handset priced under a hundred quid.

The 5150mAh battery competes well with much pricier models and supports up to 39 hours of talk time.

Unlike the sleek metal frames of more expensive models, this handset features a leather-touch design. Although it’s a bit niche, that’ll provide a much better grip.

The camera isn’t top-of-the-line, but at this price, it’s hard to grumble. Still, it includes a decent 13MP rear triple camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.

Amazon shoppers have had varied opinions, but it’s managed to secure a solid 3.7 out of 5 stars.

One shopper praised it as ‘brilliant,’ adding: “The battery life is phenomenal, the ‘phone is fast and responsive, and the cameras are better than adequate: in short, everything just worked right out of the box.”

The same reviewer summarised: ‘If you’re looking for a better-than-average smartphone at a less-than-average price you won’t go wrong with the Umidigi.’

Another user chimed in: ‘[It has] got all the apps and features you expect from a pricey phone for half the money. I wish I’d found this mobile sooner. Would have saved a fortune using this one.’

‘I’ve no idea how they can deliver such an amazing phone for so little money,’ another reviewer concluded.

While half of the reviewers are fans of the Umidigi handset, some reviewers have gripes about its responsiveness, and others have mentioned it can be a bit laggy.

Naturally, when technology offers so much at such a bargain price, it’s wise to tread carefully. If you are keen, my only advice is to buy before this deal comes to an end.
