Flagship on a Budget: At $179.99, the UMi Super is All-Metal, Fast, and Beautiful - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re

XDA thanks UMi for sponsoring this thread!
The Super is the latest flagship from UMi, and it’s really intriguing, especially considering the price. We recently did a contest to give one away, and with over 2200 entries, it was our most popular contest ever. Usually the Super is $249.99, an impressive price by all standards, but a $70 coupon (with email sign up) brings the price down to an incredible $179.99, but only for a limited time.
The phone is all-metal, with minimal antenna lines, and within you’ll find a octa-core Helio P10 octa-core CPU, with 4GB RAM, a huge 4,000mAh battery, USB Type-C with fast charging, a Panasonic 13MP camera, fingerprint sensor, and perhaps best of all, stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow with no custom skin. The display is the ideal size for most, at 5.5″, and FHD resolution, and the body remains small thanks to narrow screen bezels. Let’s take a closer look at the UMi Super!
Contest: UMi is giving away five Super phones and 15 VR headsets! Find out more here.
Build Quality and Ergonomics
The design of the UMi Super is thoughtful thanks to an anodizing and polishing process that happens five times to produce a smooth and durable finish on its aircraft-grade aluminum body. The back is curved at 165° which fits the contour of your hand perfectly.

The front uses 2.5D glass for that “infinity edge” that slightly rounds the glass for a smooth, premium feel. The power button is placed easily within reach on the right side, below the volume rocker. All buttons are metal for a solid tactile response.
And the Super is available in three colors: black with black front, silver with white front, or gold with white front.
See more about the creation of the UMi Super below!
Performance and Specs
UMi combined some of the best components to make the Super a standout when it comes to performance. The Mediatek P10 is ultra-efficient with its eight A53 cores that balances performance with power savings, while the Mali-T860 64-bit GPU provides fantastic performance when gaming or doing other video-intensive activities. You get 4GB of Samsung DDR3 RAM, none of which will be hogged by bloatware or a clunky interface, because the Super comes with Stock Android Marshmallow.
The Super has a huge 4,000mAh Sony battery that can provide over a full day of heavy usage. Then, when it’s time to charge, PE+ Quick Charge means you can get 75% charge in just 30 minutes when charged over USB Type-C. Or, just 10 minutes of charging gives you four hours of talk time.
And There’s More
The UMi Super has a customizable LED notification beacon below the screen, which UMi calls the Super Skylight because it gently pulses when you have a new notification. You can pick from up to seven light colors for different apps so that you can easily tell what type of message you have missed.
The 13MP camera, made by Panasonic, launches in just half a second and can focus in less than a third of a second. There is zero shutter lag, and you can even adjust focus after the photo is taken with Magic Focus. You can customize the power button to launch the camera, or any app, with a double press.
Want to maximize screen real estate by using the physical buttons instead of those that are on-screen? The UMi Super lets you switch between two button configurations.
And for security, the Microarray 3D fingerprint scanner will unlock your phone in just 0.1 seconds, regardless of what direction the phone is facing.
How to Buy
The UMi Super is available from a range of global retailers. Remember, if you want the $70 coupon, you must sign up over email! And soon!

Computer Gurus?

Ok Im pretty much just making a thread here in the OT section to help get some interest in a computer case from Case Labs. I usually hang out over in Overclock.net since I'm more inclined in PC's than in phones. So this thread is pretty much just here to help get interest in the other thread over on OCN. If anyone is interested in the hopefully soon to be mATX case or any of the other cases stop on over.
Heres a link to the thread for the mATX Case Labs case.
http://www.overclock.net/case-labs/958444-matx-magnum.html#post12634240
Heres a couple shots of the M8/M10, the mATX case would be similar in design, just smaller.

Looks pretty sexy, is that infrared I spy with my little eye?
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
Looks like a nice case for a server build. Quality built and tons of features.
Unfortunately a bit to pricey, but then, such quality has its price !
I recently crammed 3 hdd's into a Apex DM317 and it was ok for the beginning. But then, the heat buildup and the noise are terrible. On top of that, I came to realize that eventually 1.5 TB won't be enough in the long run.
So far I have looked into the Lian-Li PC-V354 as an alternative, but it's quite pricey.
/maybe the easter bunny will be nice to me
That's a nice looking case, but I wouldn't get one unless hot-swap HDD bays were available.
They also have expansion enclosures that can go under or top of the original case. I have yet to see any other case that has as many features as these cases do. Granted these cases are pricey but the amount of features that they have you would think they would cost even more.
Heres a list of features
MAGNUM M8/M10 Standard Features:
All aluminum construction - .090" (2.3mm) chassis .063"(1.6mm) doors/covers.
Choice of ventilated or solid doors and covers (on a panel by panel basis). Right and left side windows are available in a variety of colors in two sizes: Standard ($15.00) and XL ($20.00).
Slide out MB tray.
Choice of one HDD cage assembly (4 drive capacity): either standard or flex-bay mount. Note that the flex-bay mount deletes one of the 3U filler panels.
Four single bay filler plates and two triple plates.
Four sets of mounting brackets for 5.25” devices.
I/O panel with firewire, four USB 2.0 ports, HD audio and microphone connection.
Lamptron anti-vandal style switches and wiring harnesses: blue ring for power and red dot for HDD activity. They are standard switches that can be easily swapped out for custom color combinations.
Filler plates for top and bottom fan openings, 40mm fan openings on MB tray, card slots, and one PSU.
Four rubber feet with screws (casters are available).
Misc. hardware: Thumbscrews, MB standoffs, Tie-wraps, etc.
Case Dimensions (same for both): 15"W x 19.06"H x 20.06"D (381mm x 484mm x 510mm) Rubber feet add .75" (19mm) to height, optional casters add 2.63" (67mm).
The M8 supports ATX boards up 10.75" wide
The M10 supports XL-ATX boards (but not HPTX like the SR-2)
Supports Video Cards up to 17" (432mm) using Fan Mounts
Weight: 21 lbs.
@OP: I would have been drooling a few months back... I was looking for a case, but settled on a donated case from my dad.
I think I'd rather have one of THESE:
2 PSU's........watch out National Grid!!

Post your LCD or Plasma TV.

Post pictures of your LCD or Plasma TV and why you prefer one over the other. I have both, and like each for different reasons. Ihave a 52" Sharp Aquos Quattron LED LCD, and it has a very sharp picture. The other day, I threw my remote across the room (team lost) and it hit the lower left hand corner. Needless to say, I was off to Best Buy. I spent a good two hours checking out a few TV's, and decided to purchase a 59" Samsung Srries 5+ 550 1080p Plasma +1 3D 600hz TV. This TV is pretty awesome. Crisp detail, bright, and it has the deepest blacks if any TV I've ever seen before.
I almost purchased the Samsung Smart TV series, but in my opinion, wasn't worth the $3k+ price tag, consideting Best Buy is kniwn fir slashing prices fairly often. My new TV is a perfect example. It had an original retail price of $1,899 just a month ago, but I got it for $999.

Below is my Sharp Aquos Quttron:
I just purchased the quattron last year from Best Buy. I wasn't happy about breaking it, but now I have a 59" Plasma.
The picture quality on the Plasma is super tight and really crisp. Super deep blacks make for clean definition and clean lines. This is supposed to be the best Plasma TV on the market, and it's looking great so far. It's slso got the loudest speskers I've ever heard on a flat panel. Really freaking loud.

I have a 120hz Samsung LN52B630. Fantastic picture, and the 120hz feature adds depth and clarity. It also has an outstanding built in media player, 4 HDMI inputs, and a swivel base. What's not to like ?
Here's the review I wrote for viewpoints.com:
Great feature set, and well-rounded overall performance.
Overall Rated 5 out of 5.
As the 2009 models are being cleared out to make room for the 2010's, you might want to consider picking up one of these great LCD TV's before they are all gone.The extensive feature-set includes 4 HDMI inputs (3 rear,1 side), 2 USB inputs, and several component inputs, in addition to a PC input. The built-in USB media player has functionality which rivals separate stand alone units, and the inclusion of a swivel base and a slim profile makes placing this unit in tight spaces easier to accomplish than most models in this class.(plus it's really handy having 3 of the 4 HDMI inputs on the back of the set)
Another feature which sets this unit apart from similarly priced 52 inch sets are the separate Blur and Judder reduction controls. This allows you to fine tune the characteristics of 120Hz frame interpolation to your liking, and to adjust for optimal picture quality regardless of the source. Picture quality is very good (although not quite perfect) and immerses you in a quasi 3 dimensional viewing experience.
When you take into consideration the extensive feature set, great picture quality, and close-out prices on this unit, one would be hard pressed to find a better value in a 52" LCD TV.
Grab one of these 1080P sets while you still can.

Hey Guys and Gals
Smartwatches have been gathering pace for the past few months, but with IFA 2014 just around the corner, we're bound to see a lot more hit the streets this coming season. We have just heard about the leaked specs for the LG G watch R and the Samsung Gear S, so lets take some time to compare the two devices. Both companies have taken a very different approach on their latest releases, LG opting to ditch the square screen in favor of a circular display, while Samsung have raised the bar of the traditional, and opted to use its curved screen technology. The practicality of both has yet to be decided, so comparing these two should be interesting.
So lets compare some of the devices features:​
Connectivity:
The Gear S is the first smartwatch to feature full 3G connectivity, enabling it to function independently of its "parent" device. It's still unknown which devices will be compatible with the gear S, but with SIM support, this one has to go to the Gear S.​
Display Size:​
The G Watch R's circular display looks great, giving it a "classic" watch look, but this is at the expense of screen real estate. With the Gear S having approximately 44% greater screen size, the Gear S is the clear victor.​
Display Shape:​
Here is where the two companies have taken a very different approach. The circular display of the LG G Watch R gives it that retro look, but we're yet to see how practical these circular displays will be. Sure they look great as a watch, but will all of the smartwatch functions transfer well to the round display. The same could be said of the Gear S, its curved display is a first and how this will translate to everyday function is yet to be seen. Until we get some hands on, we will go on looks alone. Given both have a very "unique" look, we're going to have to call it a tie, as its down to personal preference.​
Display PPI:​
With both devices sporting ppi of over 200, they both should be reasonably sharp. The Gear S does jump slightly ahead with a ppi of 300, the G Watch R trailing behind with around 250 ppi Numbers don't lie, winner Gear S.​
Software:​
Here's the biggest difference between the two, one running Samsung's own Tizen OS and LG's on Google's Android Wear. Wears's superior voice command has always been better than Samsung's offering, but as the Gear S will be receiving an updated version, we're yet to see how well they will compare. The Tizen OS does allow direct voice calls with the smartwatch, something we're yet to see in Google's Android Wear. Until we get a hands on, this one is a draw.​
Heart Rate Monitor:​
LG has added a heart rate meter over its predecessor, so ticks for both.​
Fitness Tracking:​
Big thumbs up for both of these devices, they can track overall daily steps, or individual workouts. Great to keep track of distance traveled and calories burnt.​
Water Resistance:​
Both devices feature full IP67 water and dust resistance.​
Processor, RAM:​
Without more information, we're going to have to go from the raw numbers. The G watch packs a 1.2GHz quad core processor, with the Samsung a 1GHz dual core. As LG lists the Snapdragon 400 chipset, its likely to be the same as the first G watch. Both devices have 512MB of RAM. From the numbers, winner G Watch R.​
Thanks to TotalTechWar for the Vid
Looking forward to hearing members thoughts on how these devices compare, both have taken a very different approach on the smartwatch. who will be victorious?​
I still think features or not, for me a watch needs to look like a watch. Hmm no Moto360 to compare too? Lol guess we will see soon enough!

After the big launch of all metal UMi TOUCH, a 4000mAH big battery, front touch ID and a 13MP Sony camera, the company is now busing moving forward to the next flagship phone.
Our source just confirmed the bazeless phone early rumored as TOUCH X is called UMi SUPER.
Here today we got a design photo showing that the UMi SUPER might equip with Dual-camera.
Unlike the LG G5, Huawei P9 or the latest rumored iPhone 7 pro is following the led, the two cameras are not sitting side by side of each other at the top, instand, the SUPER camera lining up along with the dual flash LED.
They says the Dual-camera is the future of mobile photography because of the hardware limits. There’s only so much you can achieve within the tight constraints of a device that’s less than 9mm thick, and phone companies are looking for alternative means to keep improving.
the camera looks like meizu pro 6.

Yeah, the design in general looks like Meizu
It seems it will have super amoled Display.
UMi SUPER to have Super AMOLED screen for VR
One of the best feature SAMSUNG phone is the Super AMOLED display. In a Super AMOLED display, a touch-sensor is placed over the display (on-cell). The thickness of the touch sensor is just 0.001 mm and this allows the screen to provide better images and to have great visibility even in direct sunlight (Samsung says that they perform 20% better than regular touch AMOLED outdoors).
It seems like Super AMOLED is the most ideal display that deserve to be called “Super Screen”. UMi is likely thinking the same as us. Our insider today leak out the news that UMi SUPER probably will use Super AMOLED to make it as “Super Screen” and live up the name “UMi
Beside, a smartphone with Super AMOLED display will enhance the VR experience. UMi the company already launched their first VR on Amazon. We have all the reason to believe the UMi SUPER will be the next killer along with the VR market.
We don’t have further info yet but we don’t think the SUPER phone will be out anytime soon. So while we are waiting for the truth, the company now is running a giveaway for their current best selling flagship - UMi TOUCH.
Why not to take the chance to test your luck today?!
Mod Edit by @Darth : Link to selling site removed. No more please.
More news about this Umi Super.
UMi Super to have 4000mAh+ battery of its metal body
Battery life and capacity has been a feature that Chinese phone makers have looked at carefully in 2015. Over the past year battery sizes have gotten larger, charging faster and processors more energy-efficient in a bid to give you as much usage through the day.
UMi have also been keen to offer the longest battery life possible and it was made known early on in the company’s latest flagship UMi TOUCH.
Today the company is confirmed the new phone UMi Super will come with 4000mAh battery + quick charging technology via UMi forum. The company also claimed that 5mins charged with UMi Super Quick charging technology support 2hours calling and 30mins charged can last for one day light usage.
Thread cleaned. No more links to sites with sales. Thanks!
Wonder if this phone will have as good/better build than the UMi Touch.

What does the ROM development scene seem like? I know it's too early to say anything yet, but is it easily unlockable/rootable?

I'll probably end up buying this then. Xiaomi Phones + Custom ROMs are the best
