In the meantime, let’s have a look at what aspect of the i8 were tweaked to produce this stunner of a device, the Uhans i8 Pro.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
When creating the Uhans i8 Pro, the company retained the same design and aesthetic it conferred on the preceding version of the device. The Uhans i8 Pro is thick and likewise sports the glossy metal body that gave the Uhans i8 a finesse and premium appearance.
On the Uhans i8 Pro, Uhans turned bind eye to the thickness of the device as it still has that huge and bulky feel owing to its 10mm thickness and 202 grams weight.
The Uhans i8 Pro is a device for the lovers of big screen and thin bezels. It comes with a 5.7 inches IPS display with a HD+ resolution (1440 x 720 pixels). Perfect for almost anything you could possibly use a smartphone display for.
PROCESSOR OS AND STORAGE
The processor components of the Uhans i8 Pro have been upgraded massively. The device SoC has been swapped for a dual camera friendly MediaTek Helio P23 SoC. Likewise, the processor is now faster and more fluent. Thanks to the Octa-core Cortex-A53 processor with a beefed up speed of 2.5GHz. On the Uhans i8 Pro, you also get better graphics and game play due to the new ARM Mali-G71 GPU on board.
Sadly, the UHANS i8 Pro still runs on the Android Nougat v7.0 Operating System, with no news of an upgrade to the latest Oreo OS. I was expecting the i8 Pro to come with the Android Oreo OS out of the box tho. Oh well..
Faster and better multitasking is also assured on the Uhans i8 Pro as the device has joined the bandwagon of devices carrying huge amount of RAM; 6GB. Internally, the i8 Pro stocks 64GB of memory which can be expanded to 128GB via Micro SD card in the 2nd SIM card slot.
CAMERA AND BATTERY
Under these departments, the Uhans teams didn’t upgrade nor degrade any feature from the Uhans i8 to create the i8 Pro. The device still retains a dual camera set-up of 16-Megapixels and 3-Megapixels on the rear and a single 8 Megapixels lens on the front.
Battery-wise, the Uhans i8 Pro feature a non-removable 3,500mAh battery. The battery can provide usage time of at least 15 hours depending on frequency of usage and thanks to the Quick Charge, it only takes about 1 hour 30 minutes or less to fill up the batter from 0%.
