UMi launches the “ROME” Android smartphone with 3GB RAM for $89

Chinese smartphone maker, UMi, has just launched one of the most affordable Android smartphones of 2015, the Rome. A metal-clad handset with some pretty impressive specs, carrying an MSRP of about $90 in China. What do we mean by impressive?
Despite the sub !~ $100 price tag, the phone – which is just 7.9mm-thick with an all metal body – features 3GB RAM, a 5.5-inch 720p (1280 x 720) AMOLED display and is powered by a 1.3GHz octa-core Cortex-A53. There is also a 2,500mAh battery, which is said to provide at least 24 hours’ worth of battery life.
