{Q} Best Chinese Phone ?

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 wish XDA makes a sub forum for this beast this time Please?
Please never go For MMX
HI all,
i jad 3 mmx phones and all the three were really very bad and thw worst part is i never got a single update from mmx.
community support is also very bad...
so i ll ask you ppl to go for some branded phones to get proper updates and good battery life finally the phone ll last more than a year(mmx phones never lasted for more than 9 months)
am a heavy smartphone user

Yea agree with that!
They use the MTK based chipset in these canvas mobiles, which is indeed cheaper (china)
But its not as reliable and durable as Qualcomm or any other branded ones

They sell there phones in the name of os and processor
whereas the ram ins damn low and lack sensors.
Amazing i like micromax it give batter feature as compare to other with low price.
Mmx phones are best in terms of price...
I'm using a90s and perform faster compare to other phones which price is less than 20k...
Only need to provide better consumer services and updates...
Even Sony Ericson plans to use mediatek proccesors. So they are not so bad.its a romour though .
+ don't expect the performance of a 35-40k device from 15k device.
I think that this device will outperform Samsung galaxy grand (21k device)in almost every aspect.
An same HD resolution as s3 + same amount of ram as s3 but lower power+ a quad core but a little less powerfull but more secure than samsungs processors + a 5inch display and most important ->all this in 15k device.
Don't buy it. 1. From previous A110 battery experience , it is clear that 2100mA battery is not sufficient for multiprocessing system. Although it has same battery config as Nexus 4, but remember the brand name. 2. More than 12000+ in INR, we must expect at least one update . This brand only provide u out of the box os, no OTA. Whereas Samsung like company will provide u a great support.
So either go for grand or wait for 2 months more for next canvas (prob A120) release.

Guys,
Never compare A110 with A116. Both are different in there way. What samsung/Sony/LG is giving in 25K above, MMX is giving it in near about 15K. The person who wants to buy a phone like S2(answer for above posts) will see the difference while comparing to MMX A116. 1280*720 display resolutions(just like my Note 2). quad core processor (unlike S2) 16M color(like both S2 & NOTE 2), IPS Brigh Display(LG is also using this) & last but not the least 1 GB ram(like S2). It has lack of Dev support. Nothing Else. I have tried MIUI Launcher with 50% Brightness on A110 and trust me, it was awesome.
In the end, if anybody want to but a mobile with great features(note premium suites like Samsung) can avail this. Otherwise Pay High & Get high. I m not follower of MMX but i m practical
See the comparison B/W A116 & S2 -> Here & choose your winner

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..

Wiko ufeel, or Samsung A3 (2016), or ... - please advice before I buy

Please advice me what to buy. I want an android-without-google phone. With e.g. cyanogenmod, or any other. I am good with computers, and coding, but myself I have no clue yet about Android development.
The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) seems better supported in this forum - so perhaps a fully functional ROM will appear earlier? True?
But it has only 1.5 GB RAM. All specs here.
The Wiko ufeel is cheaper and looks like the more powerful hardware (e.g. 3 GB RAM), all specs here, and their marketing stuff.
But xda-developers.com does not even have a subforum for Wiko yet? Does that perhaps mean, it is unlikely there will be a ROM soon?
But both have non-removable batteries, which sounds really idiotic.
Which other phone would you suggest in that price range, with similar specs? For which there is already (or soon will be) a fully functional alternative ROM?
I am asking because I own a Sony xperia E1 (yes, I know, stupid me), and even after 21 months there is no ROM ready. This time, I want to be cleverer, and first check the forums, before I buy the hardware.
What do you suggest? Any hint much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for your time!
P.S.:
Another (much pricier, probably too much for me?) suggestion was the Sony Z5 compact, but after my E1 experience I am not a big Sony fan anymore... (?)
But yes, all 3 phones are "small" - I really don't want a semi-tablet sized telephone.
Hi,
Out of the three phones I would advice the Sony Z5 compact... it's an amazing and solid device .... By far the best out of the three. If you are reluctant because of the experience you had with the E1, relax ... it's totally different. On the very plus side, the development is quite alive for all Sony device and you will probably extend it's longer then the other ones.
If you find out that you can't get, because it cost double the price of the 2 others. I would recommend the Wiko ufeel.
One friend of mine have it and I played a bit with it. It's a solid device. Beautiful (yes it depends), smooth, fast. The screen is not that great (not to say poor). Main camera do a descent job, not outstanding. Battery life is average by my standards (better than my LG G3, worst then the OP2)
... But you will probably never have a custom ROM for it here on XDA. To get it rooted we spend more then 2 weeks ... finally got it rooted with some Russian forums (used G-translate to read).
I would never recommend a Samsung device ... never ever. BULL****.
Depending on you taste and budget, have a look to the OPPO A37 and Huawei P9 lite. I dont know which country you are in, but they should be available all over the world.
My rating:
1. Sony Z5 compact
2. Huawei P9 lite
3. OPPO A37
4. Wiko ufeel
5. A3 (2016)

I wonder if this phone can be rooted or if there will be any ROM development for it. Wondering if it has a cousin model that shares ROMs, cases, etc.
How do you like it so far?

Seems good, has a lot of att bloatware, haven't really used it since I'm still waiting on unlock code. So wants I get that I'll be able to use it more. Also uses the same processor as the honor 5x(same specs besides the 6inch screen, and fingerprint scanner)
For 49 bucks its a steal.
