As is known to all, smart phones from China are usually related to “budget” and “competitive specification”. Many people, however, have ever bought counterfeit Chinese smart phones and swear will never buy again unless on a “budget”. On this post, I’m going to list some big smart phone brands in China and reliable channels to buy these budget devices.
1. Huawei
Listing Huawei on the top conforms with the current situation of mobile phone sales volume. According to IDC, in the third quarter, 2015, Huawei ranks third, after Samsung and Apple, on smart phone shipments, occupying 7.5 percent market share. Many Chinese regard Huawei as a hero in the field of smart device. A well-known device in 2015, Nexus 6P, is the result of Huawei’s hardware skill and Google’s software. As for brand models of its own, Huawei has Honor series, Mate series and P series, the first among which mainly focus on the low priced end of the market. Huawei P8 and Mate S are competitive flagship devices.
2. Xiaomi
Xiaomi has been very popular for high specs and low price in mainland China since the release of its first smartphone in August 2011. Just like its slogan “Only for Fans”, Xiaomi has been spending much effort promoting the playability of its OS and UI in order to improve user experience. By virtue of its competitive price and specs and effective internet business model, Xiaomi has won many handset users. However, as a brand that sprang up basing on internet, hardware quality is its shortcoming. One widely known problem is that Xiaomi smart phones are easily hot. BTW, to people who may concern, Xiaomi has been called the “Apple of China” due to similar product design, marketing strategy and announcement style.
Supplement
Many people in west world may be more familiar to another Chinese smart phone brand, OnePlus. However, in the eyes of most Chinese, OnePlus’s popularity in overseas is quite unbelievable, since it is not that famous in China.

Apart from Amazon and other west world websites, people can also buy Chinese smart phones from Aliexpress, a Chinese shopping site for foreigners.
