UMi has recently launched its newest handset — the Diamond. A bargain-priced handset with a premium-looking metal and glass shell. The phone has a 5-inch 1280x720 pixel display and, under the shiny externals, we've got a 1.5 GHz, octa-core MediaTek 6753 SoC, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable memory, an 8 MP main camera and 2 MP selfie snapper. All this is currently going for $99.99 as a pre-sale promotion.In the first video, we have a real-life drop test. The phone meets the concrete twice, first dropped from about 3.9 feet, then from 4.9 feet. Amazingly, not only does it still work as intended, but its glass panels survived the drops. UMi claims it's a special scratch- and shock-resistant glass, supported by the construction of the phone's metal frame and back cover.
UMi is currently running a giveaway raffle for the Diamond — you can check it out in the site linked below. And even if you don't win, you can grab one of the pre-sale units for $99 (before possible taxes).
