UMIDIGI BISON 2 Price and Availability
The UMIDIGI BISON 2 comes in a single color variant which is Hack Black. The handset will be available globally as from June 21 2022 but preorder is already on at AliExpress.
Seems like a powerful smartphone to me! The features such as 6150 mAh battery, Mediatek Helio p90 chip, triple-setup of the camera, etc. are making it more desirable.
I love the rigidity of this Mediatek smartphone. Moreover, it’s going to launch in India soon.
A 48MP triple camera setup at the rear coupled with a Mediatek Helio P series processor is going to perform well.
