Beautiful Chinese smartphones. Cheap Chinese phones (Chinese copies of phones)

Over the past couple of years, the Chinese smartphone market has grown significantly and at the beginning of 2019 there was a clear oversaturation of offers. It is not difficult to guess what consequences this will cause in the future - sales of leading manufacturers will decrease in 2019, which is a fact.

For the leading players, these are not critical changes, but the percentage and fractional percentage drop in sales is a serious signal to companies such as Samsung, Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo, which rank first in terms of the number of smartphones released in the world.

These changes will affect all Chinese manufacturers; for some, this will be a chance to strengthen their position, while for others, on the contrary, they will find themselves with nothing, it will be difficult to say.

We will consider all worthy representatives of the Chinese market, both from the first league and lower ranks. All smartphones are interesting in their own way and are the best in their price categories.

But there is also a 16-megapixel camera with a wide aperture. And the front camera is good here - it has a resolution of 8 megapixels. Fast data transfer is carried out via LTE-A category six. There is also support for GLONASS, thanks to which the positioning accuracy in Russia is very high. There is also 6 GB of RAM.

One of the cheapest smartphones with a 6-inch screen. To reduce the cost, the creators had to save a lot on components. As a result, the resolution of the LCD panel has decreased greatly. The pixelation is clearly visible, but many buyers are not disappointed at all. There is also no 4G module, which is much more frightening. Fortunately, no one prohibits accessing the global web via Wi-Fi. The capacity of the battery installed here is 2580 mAh. As you might guess, there is no support for fast charging technology.

There are excellent cameras here, and LTE support allows you to use the Internet on high speed. But most of all, the device surprises with its thickness, which does not exceed 6.5 mm. The creators also managed to reduce the weight to 124 grams. But because of this, the battery capacity has also decreased, which is why you will have to charge the device every evening. And yet it makes it into our top - not least thanks to the one included in the kit. What is important is that the device’s navigation chip is capable of recognizing signals from GLONASS satellites.

But this is not why they actively ask for it in stores. The fact is that the device has a large number of high-speed wireless modules. For example, there is support for the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard, which should appeal to owners of new routers. The device also includes 4 GB of RAM, and this is still the maximum that the operating system can recognize Android system.

This model is included in our rating of the best Chinese smartphones thanks to your screen. It was created using IPS technology, which means wide viewing angles. But the main advantage of the installed LCD panel is its high resolution. Individual pixels here can only be seen under a microscope!

Seeing the growing desire of consumers for powerful, yet affordable smartphones, leading Chinese smartphone manufacturers in 2017 are continuing their expansion into Western and European markets. Companies such as Xiaomi, ZTE and Asus regularly delight users with new flagships and successfully compete with such “mastodons” of the mobile market as iPhone, Samsung, Sony, etc.

We present to our readers a list of Chinese smartphone brands, ranked based on global sales statistics and reviews users of various online stores and specialized portals about product quality.

Sales statistics of smartphones from Chinese brands, %

Xiaomi managed to take the mobile world by storm in 2014. Their flagship device Mi 4 was one of the best-selling mobile phones in history and paved the way for mid-range smartphones. At the moment, the company’s “piggy bank” includes such hits as Redmi Note 4, Mi5 and Mi Max. And in 2017, the range was replenished with the frameless Mi Mix with a 6.4-inch display and Mi Max2 with a fantastically durable 5300 mAh battery. And all this for a very affordable price.

Flagship of 2017 - Huawei P10

One of the most respected and popular brands of Chinese smartphones in 2017 is currently releasing devices with fast Kirin processors 960. Such chipsets can handle the latest games and score about 53 thousand points in the AnTuTu test.

Top-end cameras also received high user ratings Huawei smartphones such as Huawei P9 and Huawei P10, they have dual cameras from the famous German manufacturer Leica and shoot, if not at the level of the latest generation iPhone, then very close to it. In many Huawei models There are dual cameras with matrices from Sony, the shooting quality of which also delights the owners.

2.Vivo

Flagship 2017 - Vivo X9 Plus

Vivo was founded in 2009 as a sub-brand of BBK Electronics. The company entered the telecommunications and consumer electronics market with its landline and cordless phones. In 2011, Vivo began manufacturing and marketing its own range of smartphones.

As of Q3 2016, Vivo had a 5.9% share of the global smartphone market. In the same year, it released the V5 / V5Plus model with the world's first 20 MP dual front camera. And in July 2017, Vivo demonstrated a working prototype of a smartphone with a scanner integrated into the screen. Thanks to this innovative approach to its gadgets, the brand is unlikely to disappear from the list of popular global mobile phone manufacturers in the foreseeable future.

In June 2017, Vivo entered into an agreement with FIFA to become the official sponsor of the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.

1.Oppo

Flagship 2017 - Oppo R11

In first place in the ranking of Chinese smartphone manufacturers is a relatively young company that created the Oppo R5 and Oppo R5s with a 4.85 mm thick body. Oppo is the leading 4G smartphone maker in China, with a market share of 15.2%, although it is overall behind other brands such as Chinese rivals Xiaomi and Lenovo, and South Korean manufacturer Samsung.

The company's main activity is creating mobile phones with some of the best selfie cameras in the world.

There are tons of "cheap" Chinese phones out there, so what makes Oppo's products stand out?

Firstly, the brand’s philosophy, which is to maintain very close relationships with both users and the developer communities involved in creating firmware and other “improvements” of released gadgets.
Secondly, the company strives to update its phones on a regular basis, adding new features and changes based on feedback received from users.
Thirdly, Oppo engineers are not afraid to try new things and think outside the box when it comes to hardware and features.

As an example, Oppo has traditionally released various firmware updates software, at least once a week. While most users liked it, some also felt that the fast-changing firmware had a perpetual "beta" status. The solution was simple: Oppo now has two different sets of updates to choose from. The official release of new firmware comes out every 2-3 months. The beta path is for those who crave the latest features and don't mind a minor hit to stability in exchange for quick updates.

To summarize: the Oppo brand has great potential, produces well-made and quickly updated smartphones, takes into account the wishes of users and is an excellent alternative to more popular and expensive brands.

I don't think anyone needs to be told how popular they have become Chinese Android smartphones over the past couple of years. You will find many attractive models on the market, but among them it is worth noting several excellent solutions that are noticeably ahead of their competitors due to technical characteristics, software features, case quality, appearance and reasonable price.

This review presents not just flagship devices, but 5 devices that were able to stand out from other representatives of their class. We will try not to dwell on each of them for a long time, but tell only the most important things.

The phones from today's review are offered by any online store of Chinese smartphones at http://price.ua/kitajskie_telefony/ccid13.html.

Founded at the end of 2013 by people from Oppo, OnePlus introduced the world to a smartphone that the press immediately dubbed the “flagship killer.” And it was impossible not to agree with this slogan: top-end hardware, stylish appearance, excellent camera, CyanogenMod firmware based on the latest Android and all this for a price tag of $300. Many pre-orders immediately arrived and the company simply could not ensure such mass production of the smartphone, so an invite system was introduced through which the device is still sold.

In civilized countries, One is officially sold in OnePlus brand stores, and the company recently made Tuesday the day of free sales of the phone. In this regard, the device has become cheaper in our stores, as it has become easier to purchase it. In addition, no one is stopping you from ordering it for delivery in foreign online stores.

Now let's talk about the smartphone itself. OnePlus One is a truly premium device, in no way inferior to the flagships of famous manufacturers. Even the box and accessories look amazing. As for the characteristics, everything is no less attractive here: 4-core Snapdragon processor 801, Adreno 330 graphics accelerator, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB or 64 GB of internal memory without expandability, 5.5-inch Full HD display from JDI, 3100 mAh battery and a good 13-megapixel camera with Sony Exmor IMX214 CMOS sensor . By the standards of 2014, this is one of the most attractive smartphones on the market, and given the cost, it will remain so for a long time.

The smartphone comes with either CyanogenMod or ColorOS firmware. The second is designed for the Chinese market and although it has some interesting features, it is actually very colorful and does not support the Russian language. If you get a smartphone with it, then it’s better to immediately reflash it to CyanogenMod yourself. Soon the device will receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, and not only the CyanogenMod 12S firmware, but also the new proprietary Oxygen OS.

Well, it’s worth saying that OnePlus One is one of the leaders in the number of custom firmware, so if you like to try something new, then OnePlus One is definitely your choice.

Meizu MX4 and Meizu MX4 Pro

Meizu's first products made a significant contribution to the popularization of Chinese smartphones around the world. Compact, beautiful, productive devices became known far beyond China. These were precisely the devices that were really in short supply. Android market smartphones during the “diagonal race” - flagship ones, but at the same time lying comfortably in the hand.

After several successful models, the company followed the lead of the market and released the 5.1-inch Meizu MX3, which became no less popular than previous devices in the series. Apparently, Meizu set a course for increasing diagonals and introduced Meizu MX4, and then Meizu MX4 Pro with screens of 5.36 inches and 5.5 inches, respectively.

The first feature of both smartphones is their chic appearance and thin frames around the screen, making the cases for the regular MX4 and Pro versions very compact, considering the diagonals of the displays. At the same time, both devices turned out to be very wide due to the non-standard aspect ratio of 5:3 (15:9).

The smartphones run Flyme OS, which is unlikely to feature Android - the Chinese tried to replicate iOS and they succeeded. At least externally, the firmware is very similar to Apple's OS. Control is based on gestures and this often simplifies working with such large devices. There is only one control button; in Meizu MX4 Pro it also acts as a fingerprint scanner. It is also worth mentioning that the appearance of many elements of Flyme OS can be customized.

The main cameras of Meizu MX4 and MX4 Pro are almost the same: 20.7 megapixels, 5-lens optics with f/2.2 aperture, Sony Exmor IMX220 sensor and dual LED flash of different shades, but the Pro version uses sapphire glass instead of Gorilla Glass. Video devices can record in a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2176 pixels (UltraHD 4K) at 30 fps. It is worth saying that the camera in smartphones is one of the best on the market.

The front cameras here are completely different: the younger model uses a 2-megapixel Sony CMOS Exmor R module, and the older one has a 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5693 module.

Meizu MX4 received an 8-core processor Mediatek MT6595, made using ARM big.LITTLE technology: 4 Cortex-A17 cores at 2.2 GHz, 4 Cortex-A7 cores at 1.7 GHz, and they can work simultaneously. Other technical characteristics: PowerVR G6200 graphics accelerator, 2 GB of RAM, 16/32/64 GB of internal memory without MicroSD support, Full HD screen and 3100 mAh battery.

Meizu MX4 Pro has an 8-core processor on board Samsung processor Exynos 5430, again made using technology ARM big.LITTLE: 4 Cortex-A15 cores at 2.0 GHz and 4 Cortex-A7 cores at 1.5 GHz. The smartphone received a Mali T628 MP6 graphics accelerator, 3 GB of RAM, and a screen with 2560 × 1536 pixels and a 3350 mAh battery.

In synthetic tests, the younger model performs better; they cope equally well with the system, but in some games the advantage is Pro version— after all, the solution from Samsung is more popular than that of MTK and, accordingly, the optimization is better.

In winter, Meizu presented a budget new product with a gorgeous screen, very good hardware, the proprietary Flyme OS shell and an advanced camera from Samsung. At the same time, the price of the device was $200-250 (depending on the amount of memory) - what else do you need from a cool mid-level smartphone?

Meizu M1 Note has the following technical characteristics: 8-core (ARM Cortex-A53) 64-bit MediaTek processor MT6752, clocked at 1.7 GHz, Mali T760 MP2 graphics accelerator, 2 GB RAM, 16/32 GB internal memory non-expandable and battery capacity 3140 mAh.

The Meizu M1 Note uses a 13-megapixel Samsung sensor with a five-lens lens with an f/2.2 aperture covered with Gorilla Glass 3. The camera settings menu is identical to the MX4 and MX4 Pro. The photo quality in the M1 Note is at a very good level, for its class. Video is recorded in Full HD at 30 fps.

The front camera uses a 5-megapixel OV5670 sensor with a four-lens lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a viewing angle of 69 degrees.

Differences in system operation this device and there are no older models, so everything that is written about the MX4 and MX4 Pro also applies to the M1 Note. In addition, this is the company's first smartphone with dual SIM cards.

It’s also worth saying a few words about the screen. The device received a 5.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels from Sharp, manufactured using IGZO technology. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is used as protective glass. The screen is one of the strongest points of the smartphone: large viewing angles, rich, clear images, natural color rendition and high brightness.

In general, for the money they are asking for the Meizu M1 Note, you won’t find a better smartphone.

Chinese Xiaomi company For several years now it has been among the TOP 5 most popular smartphone manufacturers in the world. In addition, it produces awesome accessories: headphones, fitness bracelets, external batteries, televisions and set-top boxes. Last year, Xiaomi introduced its first tablet and it turned out to be no less successful than other electronics from this Chinese brand. To be honest, I don’t remember a single product from the company that was not successful, and I have already repeatedly been convinced of the excellent quality of Xiaomi products from personal experience.

Last year's flagship Mi4 fully confirms my words - it is a compact device (by today's standards) with top-end hardware, a screen, a camera and a proprietary MIUI shell. At the same time, the official price is very pleasing - $400 for the version with 64 GB of internal memory.

Technical characteristics are as follows: 4-core Snapdragon 801 processor, Adreno 330 graphics accelerator, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB or 64 GB of internal memory without expandability, 5-inch Full HD display made by Sharp covered with tempered glass Gorilla Glass 3 and a 3060 mAh battery . The smartphone has a main 13-megapixel 6-lens camera from Sony, capable of recording video up to 4K, and the 8-megapixel front camera will take very good selfies.

The MIUI shell is easy to customize and also has many interesting features and themes (both paid and free). In addition, there are more than a dozen original replacement back covers for Mi4. Therefore, there are simply no real shortcomings in the smartphone and I can safely recommend it to everyone.

I am very pleased with the main camera of the smartphone - which is very important today, as well as the good sound. But there was a fly in the ointment.

Previously, the inscription “Made in China” scared us and put us off buying devices from China, but now Chinese gadgets are able to compete with brands such as Sony, Samsung, Lg and others, so I decided to make a rating of the best Chinese smartphones for 2017, in order to , so that from a huge variety of phones you can choose the one that suits you both in appearance and in its characteristics. Let's take a closer look at the models presented below and find out whether their price corresponds to their quality, and also take a look at their characteristics, pros and cons.

This is the best value-for-money smartphone that offers incredible functionality at an affordable price. Produced by one of the most famous companies from China, it is able to surprise everyone with its capabilities. It has everything modern users need: a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. It has 3 GB of RAM, which is quite enough for its stable operation, and 32 GB of “its own” memory.

Also a good smartphone in my top 10, which attracts attention with its beautiful design And at an affordable price. Without a doubt, this is one of the best options that can compete with many leading manufacturers in terms of performance. The device has, like many modern devices this type, a 5-inch screen with a quite good resolution of 1920 by 1080, considering IPS matrix looks very decent. The model is equipped with a modern 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor, each of the cores of which has 2.36 GHz, a Mali-T830 graphics editor, so it can handle even heavy 3D games without any problems. It has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory with the possibility of expanding it using MicroSD cards up to 128 GB, this device becomes a successful and fairly inexpensive selfiephone.

For autonomous operation The device is powered by a non-removable battery with a capacity of 3950 mAh. Of course, this is not a mega powerful gadget, but if you like smartphones with a cool design and not the highest price, then I advise you to consider it as an option to buy for yourself or as a gift to your loved ones.

OnePlus 5 64Gb

It's also not a bad device to have interesting design and good build quality. It is equipped with a 5.5-inch display offering a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and 401 ppi, AMOLED matrix. The operation of the system is coordinated by an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with a frequency of each core of 2.45 GHz, and an Adreno 540 video processor.

The flagship has a 16 megapixel camera with autofocus, optical stabilization and LED flash, it is enough to take photos and videos in good quality, while the 16 megapixel front camera will allow you to see the interlocutor during a video call. Under back cover can be found non-removable battery at 3300 mAh. Whether this is a lot or not, it all depends on how actively you will use it. So if you are wondering which Chinese smartphone is better to buy, then this device is also a good option.

If you only have 15,000 rubles, I recommend this article

Another good smartphone from the Chinese electronics industry in 2017. The phablet was developed by one of the most famous companies in the Middle Kingdom and is supplied from China to world markets. The device was good and at the same time huge IPS screen 6.44 inches with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and 342 ppi, color rendition and brightness are normal, viewing angles are maximum, the number of pixels per inch is not enough, if you don’t look at the screen with a magnifying glass, it’s quite enough. The system is powered by an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, with a clock frequency of each core of 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 506 graphics editor. The stable operation of the device is supported by 4 GB of RAM, and information can be stored on the device in an amount of up to 128 GB, it is possible to expand using a memory card. Slots for 2 SIM cards, also provided in it, will not be superfluous. As for the cameras, almost everything is standard, the main one is 12 megapixels, and the front one is 5 pm. The battery installed on it has a capacity of 5300 mAh, which is quite enough for long-term operation of the device.

This high-quality and reliable Chinese smartphone also has good characteristics, although it is a simplified version of the flagship. The hardware includes a MediaTek MT6750 processor with 8 cores and a Mali-T860 video processor, which is quite enough even for the most powerful games. Quite decent indicators of 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory with the possibility of expanding it up to 128. The smartphone has a 5.5-inch screen, the image on which is reproduced in a resolution of 1280 by 720 and 267 ppi, so it looks quite decent. The multimedia part is also worthy of attention, the highlight of which is a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus, optical stabilization and macro mode. There is a 16 MP front camera for selfies and video calls. It has a 3000 mAh battery, a regular option, but it’s basically enough for a day.

Here is another good Chinese-made smartphone with good characteristics. The processor is 8-core MediaTek MT6750 and graphics core Mali-T860, which is quite enough for most everyday tasks, such as games, surfing the Internet and watching videos. The RAM capacity is 4 GB, which is enough for comfortable work, and the built-in memory is 64 GB, expandable with memory cards up to 128 GB. It has a good 5-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and the picture looks great on it. The camera is 13 MP with F/2 aperture, and the front one has a resolution of 16 MP, which is enough for selfies and video calls. As for the battery, it is a lithium-polymer with a capacity of 2680 mAh, in operating mode it lasts up to 8 hours and in standby mode up to 150 hours it is not very weak and this is its main disadvantage.

This model can be considered one of the best smartphones from the most famous Chinese brand in the world with a good price-quality ratio. As for the characteristics, here they are quite high. Its processor is an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 960 with a clock frequency of 2.4 GHz, a Mali-G71 video processor, which is quite powerful and will be enough for most games and applications. Screen diagonal 5.5 inches with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 and 534 ppi produces great picture. The smartphone can safely be called a camera phone, there are 3 modules installed here, the main one is 20 megapixels with autofocus, laser and optical stabilization, the second is 8 megapixels and the front one is 12 megapixels, the quality of photos and videos corresponds to the cost of the device. The built-in memory is 64 GB, expandable up to 128, and there is 6 GB of RAM, which is also quite enough. The battery has a capacity of 3750 mAh, which is easily enough for a day of work, but it still depends on how you use it.

This Chinese brand is still little-known and has recently appeared on the Russian market, but has already become popular with many. This is the best budget smartphone in my rating. It has a 5-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1280 by 720 and 294 pixels per inch, it doesn’t look bad and the viewing angles are acceptable. The processor is a 2-core MediaTek MT6570 and a Mali-400 video processor, and the Antuto performance is also basically average. The phone has 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory, of which only 4 are available, expandable up to 32 GB with memory cards. As for the camera, it’s 5 megapixels with an LED flash and autofocus; it takes generally good photos, and the front one is 2 megapixels, which is not very suitable for lovers of selfies and video calls. The big plus is the 3360 mAh battery, which will last for 1.5-2 days without any problems. This device is quite suitable as a smartphone for a child or a second dialer for yourself.

This is a pretty good smartphone budget model with good characteristics, so this is an excellent option in terms of price-quality ratio. The device has a powerful 4-core MediaTek MT6737T processor with a frequency of 1.45 GHz and a Mali-T720 graphics editor. It has 2 GB of RAM, which in principle is enough, and a built-in 16 GB and the possibility of expanding it up to 128 GB, of course, is enough for work, but the gadget clearly does not belong to gaming smartphones. It has a simple 13 megapixel camera and a 5 megapixel front camera. The battery is quite good compared to the competitors presented above, its capacity is 3000 mAh. And its screen is 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1280 by 720 and a number of pixels per inch of 267, which is of course rather weak, but not critical.

Another representative from a developing company in the markets of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. It has the largest and most powerful 6080 mAh battery and supports fast charging. Screen 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and 401 ppi. Processor 8-core MediaTek MT6750 with a clock frequency of each core of 1.5 GHz. The device has 4 GB of RAM, which is quite enough, and 64 GB of built-in memory, with a slot for a memory card. It has a not bad 16 MP camera with LED flash and autofocus, and an 8 MP front camera. Its main trump card is high-quality assembly and a metal case, the metal is the same as that used on flagships.
