The Umidigi Bison 2021 has arrived. Umidigi is back with a follow-up smartphone, the Umidigi Bison 2021, after launching its Rugged smartphone series with the first Gen Umidigi Bison and the gaming-optimized Bison GT. When comparing the two, it’s clear that the former isn’t significantly better than the latter in terms of subsequent aspects.
The Umidigi Bison 2021 is essentially a clone of the original Umidigi Bison. The design of both cellphones is identical. It’s safe to assume that both smartphones are mirror images of one another.
Following the logic outlined in the preceding paragraph, fans of the previous Bison can anticipate the same tough chassis with the same design pattern.
Continuing with the design elements, we have a quad-camera system with an LED flash on the back. The Bison branding appears below the module, allowing enthusiasts to identify it as an Umidigi smartphone. You’ll also see carved lines and color caps, which give the impression that this isn’t an ordinary Android phone.
When you turn the phone over to see the front, you’ll see a 6.3-inch display with a drop notch. A resolution of 1080 x 2340, a density of 409 PPI, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection are among the display’s strengths.
In terms of water and dust resistance, this smartphone has the same IP68 and IP69k ratings as last year’s model. The Bison 2021, according to Umidigi, can withstand a fall of up to 1.5 meters and a 30-minute submersion in water up to 1.5 meters deep.
