I have been thinking for quite some time to buy a chinese smartphone, with a 5" hd screen, and hotspot accessibilty.
has anyone got any experience with these chinese machines, and what idea could you give to me guys
thx
for example, i have been looking to take a doogee dg350, which gives you a lot for only 120 $ .

My dad had bought 2 chinese smarphones and cracked their screens accidentally. He thinks he is so smart and can buy a good thing for cheap and it ends up in the trash with some money spent on it.
There is a proverb in russia that says : "we are not so rich to buy cheap things"

Also an electrotechnician whom i spoke with said that many chinese brands make very poor quality parts , for ex: thinner wires with less metal, thinner condensators with a lot of in them striped below the appropriate quality level. If foreign investors somehow +/- control the production line, the local is total bullshit.

My advice - don't do it man.

Really? Never heard of this proverb here. We usually say: "A greedy person pays twice".

thx for your thoughts, but i know many satisfied people that bought some of these smartphones, and believe me, they raised the game, (quality), lately a lot... and i think that the hype with poor quality is just unwarranted.
however, of course ,there are still many shit mobile phone companies in china,and i know i wont going to buy these.
brands like CUBOT; ONEPLUSONE, DOOGEE and a few others are looking quite good.
i know i don't want to spend 600 $ for a samsung, and regarding poor wireing , well, that might be true, but i don't actually care much, because, we change phones once every year , and warranty is 24 months for the models i was thinking of buying

Nokia Lumia (625 or 925) are not so expensive, but very good, have one

Chinese phone don't have long life... U will have problem with some part or the other (be it battery or signal) ... if u change phone in like 2(-3) years then u can go for it...

If you want a chinese smartphone for that price, buy something from Huawei, Xiaomi or ZTE, they are very popular brands and quality is really good.

The phone with these specifications is not bad
Note that battery is 2200 mAh which a bit low
Chinese phones have high depreciation rate...

Can those kind work in USA and Canada?

I have bought Alcatel OneTouch Idol and it had been broken after 2 month. Now i gonna buy samsung

George · 2014-09-28 20:51:29

if you handle the equipment as you should, it would never break
it is logical that 4 or 5 inch display are big, and therefore, sensitive to (drops/kicks/pushes) etc.
which chinese cell phone company for you is good, and which are not, guys ?

I have Xperia Z3 in my opinion this is the best phone I've had, better than samsung s5

bora87 · 2014-09-29 09:39:20

Nice, I was going to buy Z2, but then Z3 came out so I switched to it. Are there any disadvantages? I see only positive reviews on the internet

the reason i bought this phone is because of the camera and the phone is waterproof
and if you're phone once lost or stolen you can go to the website of sony to track your phone (What most phones do not have)
disadvantages are:
- phone gets fast scratches
- Non removable batery
- Furthermore, I have nothing to complain about

because it is made of glass not like s5 made of plastic, s5 can often fall but will cause little damage

Serebro · 2014-09-30 13:29:36

What will you do if your phone stalls and the battery is unremovable?

Easy solution: Don't drop your phone.
