What shoppers are saying

Amazon shoppers have been impressed with this ultra-affordable smartphone that holds its own against pricy competitors. So far it's only earned a handful of customer reviews, but those shoppers have said that it "has all the features you'd want" and feels like a "high-end computer in your hand."

"Excellent budget based smartphone," raved one five-star reviewer. In addition this cell phone offering great value, they noted that this phone worked well for "daily tasks, gaming, and using apps" and the phone has "a premium look and feel."

Another reviewer noted that the Power 5 phone's "display is very sharp" and it has "good picture quality."

One reviewer shared that the "bestselling feature of this device" is its battery, which offers long-lasting use between charges.

While shoppers have praised this phone for its impressive battery life, others were less than impressed with its camera. One reviewer admitted that it "does the job" but doesn't quite hold up to some other more expensive models.

Final verdict

If you're looking for a cell phone that doesn't break the bank, the UMIDIGI Power 5 Cell Phone may be worth considering. Given that this phone normally retails for $250, shoppers say that "you wont be disappointed."

However, you'll want to note that this model doesn't come with some of the bells and whistles of pricier smartphones, and reviewers have also noted its cameras aren't the best if you're interested in top-quality photography.
