What customers don't like about UMIDIGI Bison GT2 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • The 18W battery charging is considered slow by some users, taking up to 3 hours for a full charge.
  • The phone is heavy and bulky (around 280g/10oz), which can make it incompatible with some camera stabilizers.
  • Camera performance in low light conditions is not great.
  • Some users report software issues over time, such as occasional freezing or unexpected shutdowns.
  • Lack of ongoing software/security support and infrequent over-the-air (OTA) updates, with the phone often stuck on older Android versions (e.g., Android 11/12).
  • Streaming video quality is capped at 480p on some platforms due to the lack of Widevine L1 support.
  • Customer support and warranty service can be a downside, with some users reporting issues with replacements or lack of communication.
  • Some users experienced GPS failures, though a potential fix involves disabling Wi-Fi scanning.
  • Battery life may degrade significantly after a couple of years of use, leading to potential boot loop issues.
