Umidigi F1 128 GB/4GB - $209 (all in )

Deal Link:: https://www.amazon.ca/UMIDIGI-F1-Unlock ... amp;sr=8-4
Price:: $209
Retailer:: Amazon.ca

The Umidigi F1 is on a lightning deal for $209, all in, after a $40 price cut and a $20 coupon, with no tax. I ordered this last week when only the $20 coupon was in effect. Unfortunately, Amazon won't price match so I'll be returning the original one and picking up another at the new discounted price. For an additional $40 savings it's time well spent.

This is a great deal. I am rocking this phone right now, and it is truly amazing. Very snappy. The only drawback is the camera, which works great in bright day light, but sucks in dark/low light environments.

I’m not cheap……I’m frugal!!!

Not familiar with lightnight deals; it says "100% Claimed" - what does it mean? I only have the option to join a waitlist; does this mean the deal is over?

For Black, yes - but if you select Red, there's still availability.

Looks like a great deal, too bad it is sold out. I wonder how they get away with no tax.

Cheap, good specs. Next to impossible to find something of this price point and performance.

Price decent for a solid performing phone. Good battery life, band support. Pure Android 9, no bloatware.

Camera is meh but could be improved somewhat with software updates.

Ye wife is in me dms baby.

Looks like it's gone again - seems like it's been 100% claimed 2-3 times now, and each time it opens up there's a couple available.
I got mine at time stamp in my post.

I recently got UMIDIGI A5 Pro. not sure if its worth to buy F1 and sell the A5 pro

the visible difference is fast charging where A5 is not, and NFC which i rarely use..other than pretty similar spec unless i am missing some thing.

Another difference in the specs is 128 GB ROM in the F1 versus only 32 GB in the A5.
