UMIDIGI F1 Play Bricked and not booting

As I looke around I realized that there were so many choices and I needed something that was powerful and was runnnig the newest version of Andriod, which at this time is Andriod 9 Pie. Another request was that it have more then 2 GB of RAM. SO I stumbled accross the UMIDIGI F1 Play for $200 on Amazon with a %5 off coupon. Not only did this phone have what I was looking for, when i opened it, I was surprised to see it had an outer case and it's own screen protector put on at the factory.
