As someone who's been using a Umidigi phone (F1 Play) for like two years, I think the real corner cut was the camera. The software was pretty vanilla, as best I could tell. It seemed far closer to a stock Android than, say, a Samsung product. It had one obvious nonstandard app-- a clumsy "wireless update" tool that would suddenly and immediately demand a reboot for the grand total of three times it actually had an OS update available (zll within the first 6 months or so). But I didn't see any obvious adware, at least. Honestly, I've liked the device enough (big battery, 3.5mm and MicroSD) that I would have considered another of their devices. This, OTOH, makes me a little concerned: should I reject them due to their affiliation with the Maga Patrol, or should I appreciate their ability to mark up and sell rubbish to fools?
