Design, Display, and Cameras
The major difference between the Umidigi G1 Max and C1 Max is in the outward design just like in the relationship between the Umidigi C1 and G1. While the G1 Max has flat edges with metal frame, the C1 Max offers a 3D curved edge design. Aside this, both devices share exactly the same specs.
The body is built on AG Matte finish just like its less endowed variant. The rear camera positioning is similar to the G1 but you are getting an upgraded camera.
A 50 megapixels camera paired with a 2 megapixels depth camera is located on the back with an LED flash. This should offer improved photography. Night mode and low light photography has also improved on this device.
The 8 megapixels camera provided in the front should also improve selfie quality over the 5MP camera on the less premium variant. The front camera is housed on a V-notch.
Most of the rest of the front is occupied by a 6.52-inch display with a 720 x 1600 pixels resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio. However, you would notice a sizable bezel below the screen.
Umidigi G1 Max is available in two colors, Galaxy Blue and Starry Black. There is a fingerprint sensor on the power button on the side.
