Breaking news! UMi are planning to launch a faster, more powerful version of the quad-core UMi X2 named the UMi X2 Turbo complete with 1.5Ghz quad-core MT6589T processor!

Umi are reporting on their forum that a new quad-core MT6589T (Turbo) version of the UMi X2 will be launched. The new version of the phone will receive a more powerful 1.5Ghz MT6589T processor which apparently boosts performance by between 35-50%!

The first batch of UMi X2 Turbo phones will be launched with 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 13 mega-pixel rear camera with F2.0 aperture, curved tempered glass and 5-inch full 1080p HD display at a lower 1199 Yuan price point ($195).

A 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM version will also be released in the near future, however UMi are reporting that there are shortages in supply for 2GB RAM units which will delay the launch date.

The UMi X2 Turbo will be available from 15th May, with an estimated 30,000 32GB versions available and 20,000 16GB ROM models up for grabs! There are currently no details regarding the international launch of the UMi X2 Turbo!
