Verdict
UMIDIGI Power 5 is only a fallback for basic users; it is slow and laggy, so a pricier phone is better.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about UMIDIGI Power 5 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Massive 6150mAh battery provides exceptional longevity, often lasting multiple days on a single charge
  • Excellent value for the price, frequently cited as a top budget smartphone under $200
  • Solid build quality with a unique textured 'anti-fingerprint' back panel that feels premium for a budget device
  • Includes helpful hardware features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a customizable shortcut key
  • Uncommon inclusion of a built-in infrared thermometer for measuring temperatures of people or objects
  • Large 6.53-inch display offers an immersive viewing experience for its class

What customers don't like about UMIDIGI Power 5 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Slow 10W charging speed means the massive battery can take over 3 hours to fully charge
  • Low-resolution HD+ (720p) display is a downgrade from previous models and can appear grainy
  • Weak Helio G25 processor may cause performance lag during intensive tasks or high-end gaming
  • Poor low-light camera performance with significant noise and loss of detail in dark environments
  • HDR mode is reported to be unreliable, often resulting in oversaturated or 'pastel-like' colors
  • Lack of NFC support prevents the use of contactless payment systems like Google Pay

Verdict

The UMIDIGI Power 5 features a substantial 6.53-inch HD+ Full Screen display and is powered by a MediaTek Helio G25 octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Its standout characteristic is the massive 6150mAh battery, offering extended usage times. The device also includes a versatile AI triple camera setup, headlined by a 16MP main sensor, and runs stock Android 11. A common critique is its use of a micro-USB port instead of the more modern USB-C, and the 720p display resolution is lower than some competitors.
