No issues what so ever with the wireless too works same as on any other device I have connected to my network. No complaints about the bluetooth my wireless earbuds pair instantly and they sound same as when paired with my old phone or tablet.
Bought the phone from Banggood and honestly this is the first and last time I buy from this seller. Delivery took more than a month, for some reason came from or via Europe although they said Chinese stock and I am in Australia. The box was opened and tampered with and the phone case looked second hand. So be warn, avoid Banggood!

    I have this phone for several months now and must say I love it, it is a great value for the money. No issues in day to day use, it is fast without any lagging, I have multiple apps active all the time, just in the browser have like 40 tabs active. The UI is responsive and the FHD+ screen is good and bright enough in daylight. The huge battery (and pure android 9) is the main reason I bought it in the first place. It lasts me up to two and a half days with normal usage which in my case equals to about 4-5 hours per day of active usage like browsing, emails, chat, watching a youtube video or listening to music. The fingerprint sensor works great most of the time but needs quite an accurate positioning of the finger over the sensor in order to work reliably. The camera is the worst part of this phone, I would rate it 5 out of 10, so if you are after a phone with a good camera this is not the one. Apart from that, I'm very impressed by this phone and would recommend it to others that are after a pure android phone with great battery and performance.

                This is MY experience on my F1 Play. Ymmv.

                I picked up the Umidigi F1 Play on Amazon prime days. All in, $240 CAD... Killer deal.
                So far this thing is very impressive. Almost no bloatware, stock Android. I threw Nova launcher on it and have it set exactly how I like. The camera app got updated as soon as I had a wifi connection and it made a BIG difference. It's quite good in daytime shots but fairly weak in any kind of low light, even with night mode. Reasonable, but a fair amount of noise. Possibly could be improved with another app.

                That's my only complaint at all. The phone is wicked fast for me. My usage pattern is social media, email, books, YouTube, web surfing. I would not say I am a 'power' user. I use the phone a lot but no gaming.

                My wifi and cellular (Rogers) connectivity seem good/fine. I was using Spotify on cellular no problem. Speedtest shows my F1 being about 90 percent as fast as my old nexus 6P. Cellular was about the same.
                I connected one BT speaker up so far without issue.
                Battery life for me is insane (good) so far. Easily 10 hours of SOT.

                Memory management seem OK as well. The 'Play' version has 6GB, which is what drew me to this version. I was surprised at one point how many apps I had open (a dozen or more) and there were no slowdowns on the phone. My nexus 6p would seem to be impacted around a half dozen and I had to do some of my own app management.

                It comes with a screen protector already installed, so another $20 I didn't have to spend. It came with a nice but basic case, which is good as aftermarket cases seem hard to find.

                The LCD display looks good, brightness and colors look good to me.

                For context, I have had the phone for 3 days, so new device shine is in full force.

Sorry Xiaomi but you need LTE 700 to sell in the US as that is a HUGE LTE band for AT&T one of the 2 largest GSM carriers in the US.

                          The "My Device" app reports a remarkable number of sensors in the F1: Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Orientation, Gyroscope, Light, Proximity, Gravity, LinearAccel, Rotation_Vector, Uncali_Mag, Game_Rotation_Vector, Uncali_Gyro, Significant_Motion, Step_Detector, Step_Counter, Geomagnetic_Rotation_Vector, Tilt_Detector, Wake_Gesture, Glance_Gesture, Device_Orientation, Stationary_Detect, Motion_Detect, Uncali_Acc, In_Pocket, Flat, Gyro_Temperature, and Step_Detector_WakeUp.

                          Note that the F1 does have an FM Radio, supports dual-band 802.11ac wifi (even for its Hotspot), and Wi-Fi Calling.

                          The microSD card occupies the SIM1 slot, leaving the SIM2 slot available for your nano-SIM.

                                Nice specs, but, along with the F1, has the terrible memory management bug that renders it almost unusable.

                                Despite what some people say we all have this issue and they've never addressed it. Some folk may not notice not but it's driving me mad!

                                The issue is that there's a memory leak that results in apps in the background being killed prematurely, even though there's several GB free. So when you go to recents (the scrolling page with screenshots of all your running apps) and tap on one, instead of it instantly resuming from RAM it'll reload from scratch.

                                Means that it's useless having 4GB or 6GB as the phone behaves as if it has 2GB or less (chucking apps out of memory as it thinks it doesn't have enough). A reboot briefly fixes it but it's back once you open and switch between apps a few times.

                                The battery life is amazing however, I regularly get 4 days or more, and I've never been able to drain the battery fully in a day with 9+ hours screen on time and heavy use.

                                        I got this phone on a Monday. The battery was already at 95%. I still had not charged it on Saturday afternoon. Reception is not quite as good as my wifes LG V35. But at $169 on Amazon it is absolutely the best value I have ever had in a cell phone. I have Cricket wireless in the USA which it works fine with. My rating is 5 stars!
