When you want to buy a new Android phone or a smartphone that doesn't cost as much as the iPhone, there are plenty of alternatives. Most people go to the mall and almost always buy a medium or low level model from Samsung, making a big mistake.
Unfortunately on the shelves of shopping malls Samsung is the master in Italy so it is also difficult to avoid it, but the fact remains that, unless you buy the top of the range from Samsung, all the other low-cost smartphones are almost rubbish.
The problems of below-cost smartphones of the main known brands in fact suffer from various problems such as an outdated system, low RAM memory, little internal space to store files and poor camera.
We saw in another article how to Optimize a cheap Samsung phone (Android) just trying to deal with these problems.
What has been said for Samsung is also true for all low-priced smartphones from brands such as LG, HTC or equivalent.
At the same time, those who buy Samsung or other phones of unknown brands make another big mistake, that of being wary of Chinese brands for a whole series of reasons that could only be shared until a few years ago .
To begin with, those who do not want a Chinese smartphone because the " Made in China " is an indication of poor quality, should think again immediately, since all smartphones today are " Made in China ".
Perhaps someone may be shocked to know that even the Apple iPhone is produced in China, even if the specifications are dictated by the American parent company.
Then the problem may lie in the distrust of Chinese electronics companies, which suffer from a bad reputation by always giving low-cost, low-quality products.
This perception can certainly be justified and real, even if things have changed in recent years thanks to some excellences that have now become multinationals.
To give an example, the company that produces the OnePlus smartphone, with its OnePlus One, OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X models, has obtained the best reviews from technical magazines all over the world, so much so that it has become the favorite phone of technology enthusiasts and the most hardened geeks.
OnePlus a Chinese company that cannot really be called "low quality".
The other big issue raised against Chinese phones is that they are nothing more than cheap imitations .
This perception was also true until a few years ago, when HiPhone emerged from China.
Initially, until at least two years ago, Chinese smartphone manufacturers shamelessly copied the shape and aesthetics of the most popular mobile phones and taking advantage of the availability of an open and modifiable operating system such as Android, they were able to copy an iPhone almost perfectly.
These imitations are still found today, especially in stores such as MyeFox, which are actually rubbish.
In addition to the imitations, however, there are also innovative smartphones made by Chinese companies that really have nothing to envy to Apple.
For example, the Oppo N1, launched in 2013, may be remembered for being the first smartphone with a rotating camera, ideal for those who love selfies.
Smartphones such as the Meizu Pro 5 or the Lenovo Vibe P1 are completely different from any other mobile phone on the market while Xiaomi produces all original mobile phones that do not look like any other, thanks also to its MIUI operating system.
Another concern about Chinese phones is information privacy and security .
For some time now, Chinese phones such as those produced by Huawei, Xiaomi and others have been suspected of transmitting user data to their servers in China.
The accused companies have repeatedly opposed, complaining instead that it is the Americans, with the NSA, to spy on any communication on the internet in the world.
In essence, it does not matter that the phone is Chinese, American or German, so nowadays total privacy is a dream and one cannot really say 100%, that we are not spied on by the companies that sell us PCs and smartphones.
In other words, using a Chinese cell phone doesn't seem to be more dangerous than using a smartphone made from any other country.
The fourth problem, now solved, with Chinese smartphones was related to assistance .
The frequently asked question is: if the smartphone breaks I have to send it back to China "> Amazon's guarantee and get my money back in case of problems, even after a year.
Today Chinese smartphones, all with Android system, are a guaranteed reality, they are designed and built by powerful and large companies that take care of the quality of their products (although much less known than Samsung), they work well and, even if they cost little, have top performances almost like those of an iPhone .
I refer to another article to find out which are the best Chinese smartphone brands and models available today .
