I am befuddled by the use of all of these non-descriptive terms like "remarkably" You realize "remarkably" equates to "speculative" correct? Perhaps the Umidigi S2 Lite "IS" the Utopya Odyssey would be a better statement? Unfortunately this is not possible. The Umidigi S2 Lite has a 5mp front camera and 16mp rear camera, the Odyssey as front and rear 16mp cameras (that is 16mp in the front, and 16mp in the rear).
As far as the look, all phone carriers have their own go to manufacturer, and therefore, phones will resemble other phones physically. The reality is that this is a necessary evil, as people want what other people have. If you make something for the masses, and the world loves it, then that's what is provided unless you choose to take on design and manufacturing on your own as well. This is also not a viable practice for any phone company. ANDI, at no time ever stated that their hardware was going to be proprietary, only their OS and some apps.
