So, I did some point to point comparisons, from what angles are provided in the Utopya video, to that of the UMIDIGI S2 PRO. They are IDENTICAL. Literally the exact same renderings. The difference is in the specs, but one concern I had was that these guys posted the RAM, ROM, battery, and display features. They didn't really tell me more than that. Like is the RAM LPDDR2, LPDDR3, or LPDDR4? The cameras could be the model sony uses in their low end xperia as they have taken to the 23mp camera as their main shooter in their flagships. The ROM, 192??? Not many makers do a max 192, Usually its 64/128/256 with expansion ports for more space. Given, 192 is one of the proper multiples, it just doesn't follow industry patterns. The display...All it says is FHD, so its full HD, awesome. But is this an AMOLED screen? or something else? Battery I don't really care about, because battery size doesn't mean anything if your O/S optimization can't clock the processor properly, to include the RAM clock speeds. Which draws me to the biggest WTF. You never ignore the biggest component in a cellphones architecture...The processor! I mean WTF? Is this using a snapdragon 821 or the 835, is it using the Adreno GPU as well...SO MUCH DATA was left out.

When I decide what phone I want to get next I look at a few key things. One, bloatware, does it have it and can I remove it.

Two, if I can't remove it can I unlock the bootloader and turn S-off and install a clean version of the O/S

Three, if neither of the above can be achieved, don't bother.

Four(if part one is a pass) What is the processor being used and its mated GPU? If it is a new release move to next element.

Five, what is the O/S version and what type of UI is the phone using, if it is a custom UI has it been optimized to work efficiently with the processor for more than two years of software updates, AND are there regular updates to the UI that coincides with releases of updates to the O/S

Six(if conditions are favorable in five) What amount of RAM is being used in the phone and what format is it in i.e. bus speed, lpddr3? If it is newer generation and above or equal to 4GB...smiles

Seven(if conditions are still favorable) How much onboard storage is available AFTER O/S takes its share. Not the stock storage but the amount after O/S install. 64GB is ok with a 13MP rear camera and 8MP front facing and no HD-recording. However, if the phone does 16MP front and Rear and saves images in an uncompressed format...YIKES, even 192 isn't enough. Hope it has expansion slots.

Eight(all the other stuffs) What technology is the screen? Is the fingerprint reader a POS like the iPhone one? Speakers? Bluetooth version? Communications i.e. https://www.xgpforum.com/new_XGP/en/001/TDD_band.html
what is the frame material, glass, aluminum, both, matte finish or gloss? Phone weight?

Not all of this needs to be released in a promotional vid, but the core components DO need to be addressed as well as the custom UI, because this is what people tend to recognize about different vendors phones.

I said before, these guys are not tech savvy at all.
