Introducing the Rollme U8 Ultra, a distinctive new entry in the world of smartwatches that’s capturing attention for its intriguing mix of features. This wearable stands out by running on Android 9.0, offering a wide array of app compatibility—an enticing proposition for tech enthusiasts who value versatility in their gadgets. However, be aware that the somewhat dated version of Android might pose challenges with newer apps due to its modest display resolution.
One of the key highlights of the U8 Ultra is its LTE capability, allowing users to make calls and send messages directly from their wrists, eliminating the constant need to reach for a phone. With the integrated GNSS module, the smartwatch provides robust navigation features, complete with real-time traffic updates.
Health-conscious users aren’t left out either. The Rollme U8 Ultra comes equipped with sensors for heart rate and blood oxygen levels, making it a valuable companion for those who keep a close eye on their vitals. While some water resistance is noted, it’s not designed for extensive water activities like swimming.
Under the hood, the smartwatch is powered by a Unisoc 8541E processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Its energy is provided by a 1,000 mAh battery. As is often the case with full-Android smartwatches, you might find battery life shorter than devices with tailored operating systems. The watch sports a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 480 x 480 resolution, complemented by tactile buttons and a functional crown, which cleverly disguises a camera for quick snapshots.
Available in striking colors—black, white, and orange—the Rollme U8 Ultra is priced at an attractive $90. It’s an enticing option for those seeking an all-encompassing smartwatch experience without breaking the bank.
