This is umidigi's most rugged smartphone yet, the bison pro! There is no need for a case because its built for any situation. If you need a phone that can keep up with you in daily outdoor life, this is the one for you. It can resist being submerged in water, dirt, dust and drops. Check out my full review to see what it can do.

I have this phone, and I definitely do not recommend it. It's a great and fast phone, but my friend and I got it, and we both faced issues with the touch screen and microphone after around 6 months. Touch screen goes crazy, noting that we haven't exposed it to water neither physical shocks. My worst decision was buying this chinese phone.

I received mine yesterday and am very pleased with it. I've spent hundreds of dollars (literally) on cases for my S21 Ultra, but like you said, this one doesn't even need a case. It's a keeper! It's only been 24 hours, but haven't experienced any issues yet. I'm on Verizon in US. Even though Verizon says it's not compatible, all the phone and network features are working perfectly fine.

I just bought the UMIDIGI BISON X10. UPON Putting in the 8 digest pass code, and face ID. I shut off the phone, and when I turned this phone back on the phone went into a continuous Boot Loop. Shutting down, and turning back on continuously without going to the home screen. Needless to say I am returning it, and purchasing the Pro Series!

I am very unhappy with Umidigi. Though the Umidigi Bison x10 boasts incredible specs for a decent price, it was the macro 5 mp features that ultimately swayed me to choose the Umidigi Bison x10. But sadly this feature has been a huge disappointment. I bought a Umidigi Bison X10 5 months ago because of all the good reviews. By now we know 5-star reviews are mostly paid for or fabricated. Besides the X10 disappointing camera features, I also experience problems with the sound and most recently the failure of the fingerprint sensor unit. When I researched online, I discovered that this is a common occurrence. The warranty is also a big turn-off. Clearly, there is a problem with BISON X10 and they should recall the whole series. The failure of sensors and other parts on new phones is ridiculous. It is better to have a less rigid phone and drop it than to have a rigid phone that can not function under normal use. Though Umidigi offers a ONE-year warranty they settle with the warranty offered by their resellers instead. Talk about getting knocked off by Umidigi and friends. On the scale of rip-offs, this is a huge 10X fail.

Broke my Bison GT phone buy falling off a fallen tree trunk that I was walking along fell & landed with my phone in hand with my full body weight onto the log. They are very well built phones, but don't handle 11 stone of weight falling on them. Prior to that, dropped it 45ft down a church spire ladder onto concrete steps & it held out pretty good, only minor scratches, replacing the GT with the Bison Pro... Zello button is kind of annoying but other than that not many faults with these phones...

Update on the Bison Pro - Few bugs compared to the Bison GT, Pinch to zoom on maps does not work very well & only works diagonally left to right, the touch screen is not as responsive and the top corners are not very reactive. issue with having to manually apply the APN settings every time the phone starts & the SD card does not always register until after a few minutes, phones a bit rattetly on tapping anywhere around the bottom right of the device & there's a glitch when adding app icons into grouped folders, if you try and add more than One page of app icons, it glitches out and the folder disappears. if your looking at these two phones to compare them. definitely go with the Bison GT over The Bison Pro, used & owned both & the GT doesn't have any of the above issue's & it's got better spec's....

This isn't the most powerful "rugged" phone Umidigi has to offer. The Bison Pro has the Helio G80 chipset. I have the Bison GT which has the Helio G95. Ram and storage are equivalent. The GT has a larger screen at 6.7". Great phones, my kids have the Pro while my wife and I daily drive the GT.

For the first 200 or so charges it's ok. Then it diminishes just a little. It is a Lithium Ion, so full 100% DOD cycling of the battery, is only good for about 400 or so recharges before it drops in capacity. You can extend the life of the battery is you recharge at 20% depth of discharge, and may extend battery life for more than 4000 cycles at that DOD.

Just received this phone today in the mail, looking over it looks good, but where the thermometer sensor is, the glass over the camera doesn't go flush over it, there's a circular section of glass just over the thermometer which is inset into the rest of the glass, does seem a bit loose or like it'd not really be waterproof & the inner circle wiggles a lil' bit. Not sure why it's not just one pane of glass over the whole camera section. Anyone else noticed this or why it'd be slightly loose.. if you got one of these, can anyone reply & say whether there's is the same.. the old GT version I had just had one rectangular widow shaped pane of glass with no cut-out section... Not sure why they made this one different...

Glass has a protective hard glass protector added in the factory as a pro, con all glass has no side protection to stop the phone falling on its glass face: First Time When I dropped the phone the screen glass cracked across underneath the actual LCD screen, the top protection they added I had put a protective rubber case around that back of the phone with another protective glass to protect what the factory had put on it. The problem is the phone side edge needs to be higher than the glass to not use the glass face as the protection because the LCD screen as it won't get scratched, it can't handle any face impact without breaking. The screen protector that I added got chipped and scratched everywhere it made contact with the ground. Even with the third glass cover making the face even higher. The phone needs to have the side edge not flush with the glass to give the glass protection. The same problem with the glass around the camera needs to have a higher ridge to protect that glass, I read a comment that the first time it fell on the back broke the camera glass. I have now bought a new wallet case that does give ⅛" raised back that stops the phone from falling on the camera glass if it falls flat, unless it falls on a rock on the camera it will break that glass. Luckily the camera stopped working and I'm able to return this phone with the cracked LCD, otherwise I'm not sure if this rugged phone can be returned because the first time it falls on the Glass face it cracked the LCD behind the protective cover? The LCD didn't get a scratch on it but clearly won't be water proof anymore and from what I've heard the company won't repair their own phones so there's no getting parts for them. Comments say theirs no help after warranty runs out.
