China Made Cell Phone

[commshot]

The biggest problem I've had with China phones/clones and tablets is that they don't regulate the charging very well and my batteries swell. My "S3" clone's batter swelled so much I couldn't keep the back on the phone. That's not a very safe thing to have next to your head if it's getting hot.

 

They're also VERY good at manipulating the software to make it appear like it has more storage than it really does. It will say you have 4gig (~3.8 actually), but your phone will start saying it's full at 2 gig.

I got xiaomi redmi note. Satisfied naman ako sa performance at value for money. Too bad wala pa rin sa Pinas to.

Don't buy it. It's not good, especially unbranded or clone.

as much as possible i avoid china made products kahit pa pagkain pa mismo

[Mango Man]

di naman natin pwede i-lump lahat na china-made phones as being of bad quality. Brands like Huawei and Xiaomi have similar specs vs. Samsung, etc. in terms of processor, camera, at lower prices.

 

Of course, if the china phone is very cheap (for example, P3K or P2K lang), syempre do not expect too much. You get what you pay for.

It's true na maraming china made phones na hindi ok. My experience i bought a xiaomi mi3 a year ago. Ilang beses ko na nabagsak and what not. Ok pa rin siya. No problem whatsoever

Western countries designs and develops, but for the manufacturing part or the larger volume of production, they'll opt to go to Asian countries for this.

Huawei's a Chinese brand, coz it was founded 8n Chin. So wala na tayong magagawa dyan coz it really is a Chinese brand.

 

With all the local brands coming out, sa totoo lang, for a business, nakakasira ng prices. Kaya aftersales talaga ang labanan. Yung isang brand na hindi sasakit ang ulo mo sa service.

[hit05]

most cpus are either qualconm snapdrahon or mediatek,,,intel for asus

rise of china phones hopefully bring down pricr of samsung dony iphone

 

 

Samsung, Sony and iphones have short product cycles and this is what is causing price to plummet rather than serious competition with clones or China originals. The better clones are manufactured in Vietnam - they actually look and feel the same as the original but lacks built in memory and high resolution cameras, etc, In other words, clones are downsized in features.

medyo mahirap mag gamble sa china brand.

[CrouchingTigerHiddenLurker]

I think based sa reviews sa Youtube, medyo decent ang Xiaomi/Mi and Huawei. May quality control sila at medyo competitive sila sa price, specs, and quality(Although huwag mo naman sila ikumpara sa Apple, Samsung , Sony, etc.).

 

Pero yung mga phones tulad ng Cherry (Manufacturer nila Chinese pa rin kahit Filipino company) not so much. Palaging mahaba ang pila nila sa mga service centers nila. Huwag din yung mga shady copy-cat phones na makikita sa bangketa. Sobrang gamble yun na 90% lose ka.

Kumporme sa brand Xiaomi, Huawei at Lenovo ok na ok naman pati sa tibay.

[soen]

[brewbrew]

Meizu is releasing a lot of bang for a buck phones.

[baMbee🐝]

Do not buy crap from China. Even Lenovo, huawei, ZTE or Meimei.

[-DELETED-]

Depende sa brand. May mga china made na maganda naman.

[lone23]

Yung Huawei ng pinsan ko madaling masira.

[twiddle007]

Xiaomi

[wallri]

xiaomi pero malaki patong dito.

[Jasonkidd]

Vivo X7 plus. Parang iphone7 lang. pero half the price.

One thing I noticed here is how some would react to phones manufactured in China. It's not about the part wherein it was manufactured there really, but the brand's way in managing the development and production of their devices. Do they have their own site for the production? Do they have another supplier for their devices? Not just mobile handsets were manufactured there but also desktop parts and even laptops.

 

Back in the days when laptops made their way into the IT market, most of them were even manufactured in China. The processor and chipset company of Intel even invested and worked with the companies there who manufactured notebooks/laptops for global brands in the market.

 

I think this is one thing that most consumers in the local market doesn't understand.
