Meet the flagship model Nubia Z9, which has the feature described above. Not only does the phone look very unusual, but it is also convenient to work with it due to various “swipe-combinations” invented by the developer. Innovation is paying off - ZTE is ranked 5th in the U.S. market by sales, despite the fact that the company only opened in 2012.
7. Gionee
This brand of Chinese smartphones uses the desire of the buyer to have the most technologically advanced and at the same time very thin device, providing just such products. It is about the Elife E8, equipped with a durable 3650 mAh battery, a 24 megapixel camera with strong autofocus, a MediaTek Helio X10 chipset, and a colorful 6-inch screen. The model is not cheap - about 36 thousand rubles, but according to its characteristics, it can be said that it belongs to the category of “Chinese smartphones-analogs of brands” - even not all flagships from Samsung demonstrate such performance as the described device, enclosed in such an elegant (if you believe reviews) corps.
6. Elephone
This company is a relative newcomer, despite the fact that all Chinese brands were founded in just a few years. Only in 2015, she released a model capable of claiming the title of an interesting but affordable device, which was deservedly appreciated in the global market - Vowney. It has a 20-megapixel camera, 4 GB RAM, an 8-core processor, and a powerful battery. The buyer can get all this for $ 300 - an incredibly low (confirmed by customer reviews) price for a device of such equipment.
5. Coolpad
Another not so widespread Chinese smartphone is Coolpad, which released its flagship Dazen X7. You may not have heard of such a manufacturer, but in terms of the volume of devices sold, it ranks 8th in the world.
The phone released under this brand is also notable for its affordability, since it costs only 13 thousand rubles. For this money, you get a phone in an attractive metal case, stuffed with a processor with clock frequency 2.1 GHz, 3 GB "RAM", SuperAMOLED-display and 13-megapixel camera. In the Chinese market, the company ranks third in terms of sales of its smartphones, so we can be sure of their quality.
4. Meizu
You, most likely, have already heard about this manufacturer - its products are actively advertised even in official retail chains. Ask what is it about this Chinese company? Well, first of all, it ranks among the top Chinese smartphone brands both for the quality of its products and for the manufacturability of its products. Secondly, Meizu devices (for example, the M2 Note smartphone), judging by the reviews, are too similar to Apple gadgets in their appearance. This is undoubtedly a common trick used by popular Chinese smartphone brands. It's all about Apple's approach to designing its devices, clearly justified by millions of sales.
Meizu, of course, has not yet grown to the level of the American giant, but the company has some success in sales. For example, the previous model, the MX, has become one of the top-selling phones made by Chinese developers. Probably, this developer wants to repeat the success with the new gadget.
3. Lenovo
This brand has been heard by all of us - due to its long history as a laptop manufacturer. The company worked for a long time in the computer market, after which, obviously, it also entered the segment of mobile devices, taking a significant market share there. Lenovo products are present in all price categories, which gives the buyer the opportunity to choose an affordable and functional phone, as well as a flagship equipped with the latest word. In addition to the global, the company has also achieved success in the domestic, Chinese market, occupying the second position here in terms of the volume of devices sold.
Lenovo is now ranked among the "Best Chinese Smartphone Brands" not only for the price differentiation of its products, but also for the quality they provide to customers. An example of such a device would be the model Vibe shot, powered by a Snapdragon 615 processor, has a powerful 16-megapixel camera with six lenses, supporting 2 SIM cards. The device has many advantages - and that is why it is in high demand to this day.
2. Huawei
The company, which has long been known all over the world, occupying the third position in terms of the volume of products sold, is Huawei, which began its expansion outside the Celestial Empire a long time ago. The gadgets produced under this brand cannot be called plain copies products from Samsung or Apple, but each model is designed individually. Besides the exclusive design, the company can be proud of its models. For example, the P8 flagship line is not only “cool” characteristics (1920 x 1080 pixels display, HiSilicon Kirin 930 processor with 8 cores, 3 GB of RAM), but also a stylish metal case that is protected from shocks and other damages. Reviews show that it is really not so easy to damage it.
This model, like the rest of the company's products, looks and functions at the highest level, due to which one can expect an increased demand for it from buyers. We can observe it in different countries of the world.
1. Xiaomi
Finally, one of the most talked about companies in the world that has brought about a kind of market revolution is Xiaomi, which can definitely be credited to the famous Chinese smartphone brands. Whatever they call it - "Apple killer", "second" Apple "and so on, and all this is about one company that started its activities only in 2010. What is so outstanding that this brand can offer to the buyer?
Firstly, these are devices similar in appearance to “apple” devices. They have a glossy shine, the same smooth shapes, an attractive metal body. Secondly, the similarities can be seen in the user interface thanks to a variation of the Android operating system developed by Xiaomi, which is called MiUI. The design of this shell applies the same techniques used by Apple on its iOS 8 - gradients, matte transitions, bright colors.
Finally, thirdly, customers receive advanced technical equipment. It is expressed in a powerful, reliable "hardware" of each gadget, which allows you to perform its functions without a hitch.
Due to the fact that the brand has become quite popular, the cost of devices manufactured under it has dramatically crept upwards, which Xiaomi fans began to massively complain about in the reviews. But, despite this, the company clearly ranks first in popularity among manufacturers of phones from the Middle Kingdom.
conclusions
Yes, indeed, some are engaged in the production of low-quality copies, fake devices that start to “glitch” after the first launch, or even refuse to work at all. However, the participants in our rating are responsible manufacturers trying to improve the quality of their products. Therefore, if you need an inexpensive but functional smartphone, we recommend taking a closer look: what if you like something!
