{Q} Best Chinese Phone ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i have an motorola Photon, but he stucks on GB
Until april i will have 280$ without use.
So what phone should i pick? ( in the future )
anyway is saw the new MTK6588 it's amazing
so any recommends?

I'd say Meizu phones are the best of the Chinese phone lot. Meizu MX is really nice, though a tad iPhone-y.

You can buy Motorola Atrix

U can try xiaomi mi2 just released I heard its very nice,check gsmarena for full specificatoins..

HDC S3 i9300 Quad Core Mtk6588
Hello, how are. Well tell them that I'm brand new to android so I know understand, if this happen to some other thread, just let me know. It turns out that a few weeks ago to buy a mobile named: HDC Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 mtk6588 to 1.4ghz, 1g ram, 8gb rom, 16 gb sd, 8mpx cam, 2mpx front cam, 4.8 inch lcd. The truth is a great phone for me at least a passing Omnia 2 has this. The point is that as desconosco were unaware even android and I wanted to root as the play google told me he had updates for some applications, at that time I did not know use SuperSU benia already installed, and I had no better idea to follow a statute root of this type of phone, but for mtk 6575-6577. and so I did, the point is that now tells me I have 480 MB RAM and 1GB, 2GB rom and 8GB, 2GB sd and 16gb ARMv7 processor (VFPv3, Neon), and not a mtk 6588. Wifi does not work, or the camera or bluetooth, if the 3g and data. I learned to use the tool and flash recovery mode, I tried as much ROM for this type of mobile found, of course whenever with mtk6575 but the flash tool or update. zip I get errors. Firmware for Mtk6588, there is on the web at least I did not find it. It is not more to do, so I turn to you to see if there is a solution, or simply lost mobile. From already thank you very much and forgive the scroll.

I just got one. I bought it in (fastcardtech.com) $200 it's good quality and hight specs

Hey there!
does this HDC phone really have 18 MP? I think it's only a interpolated camera. Anyway I don't think those HDC phones do have a good quality.
If your looking for a china phone ranking, check chinese-android-phones.com/china-phone-ranking/
Seems to me like those china-phones are of a good quality. I bought the Cubot ONE and it's a great phone with quad-core CPU, 13 MP camera and for less than 170$.

This list is an embarrassment. All these phones are rip-offs of phones from HTC, Samsung, Apple and LG. Why don't you try promoting some phone companies from China that doesn't cater to the stereotype view of the Chinese people (that the Chinese just copy and make fake versions of everything)? Phones from Xiaomi and Oppo for example are also quite cheap, have original designs and have genuinely good quality. In fact, the Xiaomi Mi3 is FAR more powerful than the JiaYu G5 for roughly the same price.
THL T100S is best smartphone, China's first eight-core mobile phone, will be officially sold in the January 10, I've been on thlmobilestore com site to buy one.

Actually, the Jiayu G5 retails for around $299 whereas the Mi3 is around $330. Of course, depending on where you get them from, the price difference will be different but the Mi3 is definitely not DOUBLE the price of a Jiayu G5.
chinese loge to 6 mahine hi chalega.
Cinese Jiayu G5S
I own a Jiayu G5 advanced 2 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM , metal case , in black .
It looks pretty much as an Iphone 5 but not really it is bigger.
Beside the GPS function , a lower volume speaker , a weaker vibration function and the flashlight wich u better
use only as a torch , pitty for the 13 MP rear camera ( I am not sure if its not software enhanced , it doesent look as a 13 MP lens )
I can say this device is aswome. Does not have full support on duals SIM but works great with redirection and CallWaiting between SIMs.
As far as I know Jiayu has a little factory who didn't copy but just build their own brand.
The G5 is very fine also from design..

Rooting a K-touch V8 Smartphone

I've recently purchased a phone from China( K-touch V8 Smartphone Tegra 3 Core Quad Android 4.0 4.5 Inch Gorilla Glass Screen 3G GPS 16GB - copy+paste of the order).
So far so good. The problem is I can't install Google Market, nor does it have one already install. So I thought I'd root it. Literally the only relevant thread I could find was on these forums. I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general so half the things I read there, I didn't understand.
Long story short, how would I go about rooting?
You can find some screenshots below. If you need any other info let me know.

Is Xiaomi Redmi Note better than SGS3?

Hello everyone,
I've had my sgs3 over a year now and enjoyed every bit of it. now im looking for a replacement but on cheaper side. it doesn't need to be a flagship and I mostly look for gamin and multimedia capabilities with best camera for the price. so I came across Xiaomi Note Enhanced version for about 200$ and it seems just about perfect. mainly Meadiatek 1.7Ghzx8 CPU, Mali-450 GPU with 2gb ram it seems like a steal. but Im afraid of what Im losing and what Im gaining.I have no expierince with MIUI evr. so if you can share your thought, Its much appreciated.
1. would MIUI run every droid game and apps like regular Android? (I know about xposed not working. but im concerned about TB, Greenify, SuperSU, Root Explorer.
2. It says Mali-450 is 1.4x improvement over Mali-400. but our SGS3 runs mali400mp4 and clocked 533. so how would this par?
3. I dont care about screen mirroring DLNA and stuff. but for sound quality I crave. so anyone have expierience with xiaomi sound, input will be a great help.
4. for the last, I would like to know your opinion as I think of giving my s3 to my gf if I got satisfied with Redmi Note. but of course never leave the forum sake of im a xda user who wouldn't use a phone in regular manner is it worth to give away s3 over this redmi note?
Thank you.
I just got the Redmi Note, maybe this will help you a little?

Custom ROMs will be a problem since there aren't enough devs to port or build roms for that device.
And I've spoken to just 2 Xiaomi users and they don't like it at all. It's not just about the number of cores in the CPU or GPU. MTK is A-7 based and offers poor performance compared to A-9 or A-15 CPU.

Damn! such a bad news. My budget is $200 dollars and the lists of phones I have in mind are: Xiaomi Redmi Note,iOcean X7 Elite,THL T11 MTK6592 and Huawei Honor 3C Quad Core.. But like you see they all have MTK.... Sinse all have the same performance I was thinking to get one well known company better..
Go for redmi note. You, as a normal user, won't give rat's ass about a15, a9 etc. The a7 octa gives enough performance for everyday use. And miui is da bomb

I agree, good performance, and redmi note is a good phone

Hopefully you held off for the Note 2 it's @ 1.7GHz , not the 1.4 GHz the original note was at.
Development is centered at the MIUI site, go there for more info.
Over all the phone is fast, very fast, so fast you will only see the difference between the A9/17 or Snapdragon 800 8274AB 2.3GHz and the A7 by software measurements.
I'm deciding between the Note 2 and the THL 5000.
5½" and 3300mAh Vs 5" and 5000mAh
so at the end,
which smart phone did you buy ?
i already bought a Redmi Note
still enjoying it
Well... I have two units here just arrived...Almost everything work as it should, but I have problems making data connection working. Wi-fi works great, but data over mobile network doesn't want to work at all. I've checked out on both units using different SIM cards (from different providers). I have to mention that the SIM cards work using other phones. AND I have to say that didn't want to sign up yet for any of the xiaomi services (cloud and rest). It must be somewhere in MIUI a setting. MIUI is a customised version of Android.
For the price seems to be a good product.

there are 3 version of redmi note2 (which you probably have). One of them is made for China 3g networks and other is WSCDMA.
When battery is removed you can read which version you have (maybe it's not usable on your networks).
Bought redmi note recently and I can say that it feels faster that Samsung Note 2 (I have both phones).
xiaomi phones are not replacement but best phones
...in terms of hardware specs and value for money, looks is something personal. Why branded phones are very expensive are because of their marketing cost and the cost attached to the brand value. Other than that xiaomi phones are very good.
My cousin bought the Xiaomi Mi3 and i bought a Redmi 1S for my fiance and both the phones are awesome and have very good camera and sound quality.
I have been using Galaxy S3 since 2012, and let me tell you I have been using MIUI Rom even before on my Sony Xperia X10, so as I got my S3 i rooted it and installed MIUI rom.
Yes, all your apps and games will run without any problem as it is Android, every manufacturer have their own version of Launcher and apps to differentiate their phones. What made me fall in love with MIUI were its native apps and features (like call recording which is available only when rooting, but in Xiaomi phones this is built in), and themes (you can change everything to your liking with one click- the dialer, messaging, statusbar, wallpaper, bopot animation, lockscreen, font, etc. or change each individually, and their themes are awesome).
I would suggest you to go for Xiaomi Mi3 if it suits your budget. But if you already have Samsung Galaxy S3 and if its performing good enough, then no point buying a phone with similar hardware. I am waiting for Mi4 to launch in India. Its a kickass phone (google it).
keep 'em both
Got both phones. Still love my SGS3 for the customizations.
More Redmi Note ROMs here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-26132-1-1.html
flashed mine with the ported Color OS. performed better than the original MIUI OS. you could also try the AOSP ROM faux 4.4.2 (actually its just 4.2.2) seem nice. i just dont like the developer switched the main storage for the external and so on..

[Q] Help Kingelon (Note 3) rooting and other stuff

I have just ordered a phone for my wife - KINGELON N9800 5.7" IPS MTK6592 8-Core Android 4.2.2 Phone 13MP CAM 2GB RAM 16GB ROM. After reading about malware and other stuff on some of these phones I would like to ask if there is a way to root the phone and replace the rom, assuming of course if I was able to do that it would ensure no dodgy apps or hidden software was left on it.
I am a beginner in this field, last ROM I replaced was an HTC Hermes
Any help appreciated.
I have been scouring the internet since posting and have found the following….
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/11/How-to-Remove-Replace-VRoot-Chinese-superuser-with-SuperSU.html
One comments suggests it work on the Kingelon 9800.
Just wondering...
1 Is W0lfdroid a trusted website by XDA members?
2 Will the software remove all dodgy stuff that may be installed on the phone?
TIA
Anybody can help advise me on this?
