Which of the Chinese smartphones is better? Top 10: the best Chinese Android smartphones

In this article you will learn a list of the best Chinese smartphones in 2016.

This article will come across new products in the 2016 cell smartphones line, and their price range will be described.

The beginning of 2016 gave us many interesting and budget gadgets, some of which were included in the list of our top rating.

Therefore, let's see which smartphones were honored to enter our top, which was based on the price/quality ratio.

As you recall, the outgoing 2015 was noted by the fact that many developers were stressed by some trends in the past year, in connection with which they try to follow them and promote them in the line of their products.

It is worth notingthat the trend related to the release of large diagonals for the 2016 year ceased, since the developers came to the conclusion that new and potential users of their products can only be attracted through innovations.

But as you understand, the developers are trying and some of them still made adjustments in the form of "innovations", which contained in the release of smartphones with a rounded angle of displays and the Force Touch function, which is essentially not very and is needed, but smartphones with 2K and 4K screens And even more so.

Despite this, there are still profitable and interesting offers on the market, and in any cost segment, even state employees.

Our list will consist of sorting by price segment from $ 100 to 200.

The best smartphones up to $ 100

Wileyfox Swift

The company that released this budget smartphone was created a year ago, but already as you understand it, it has competed for many smartphones. And such a breakthrough of this company occurred due to the release of its first Wileyfox Swift smartphone, which went out for sale from $ 90.

Many will say what the company that released this phone for such money could offer? In fact, she offered a lot for that kind of money, namely:

• Telephone carries out Dual-SIM, that is, the simultaneous work of two SIM cards, which is not good
• The average processor from Qualcomm is installed by Snapdragon 410, which it has a 4-core processor, And it has a 64-bit architecture
• The device has RAM 2 GBwhich ensures the correct operation of the platform, as well as the smoothness of the smartphone itself, that is, the absence of the so -called "freezes"
• Installed an IPS type matrix, And at the same time the phone it has HD resolution
• The most interesting thing is perhaps the firmwarethat you cannot meet in other smartphones, but it is called - Cyanogen OS

Of course, there is one problem of this smartphone that consists in its acquisition. After all, as you know, the smartphone is sold on the company's website that produces them, but still there is an Internet retailer JD.comwhich allows you to pre -order this smartphone.

Probably only now you understand why the price of the phone is so low, but still Wileyfox chose a very bad and uncomfortable partner.

Meizu M2 mini

As you recall, the preceding smartphone, which was previously released, it has not received such popularity as this. The reason for this was that his predecessor was sold only in the Chinese market, and by the way did not even have the support of the Russian language, what can we say about the presence of Russified firmware.

But, the output of the M2 Mini model had a completely different history, since it was available for acquisition even outside the Chinese state, due to which he gained such an unknown popularity.

This model was noted by the fact that it has no specific and serious drawbacks, but at the same time it has a rather small and tasty price. Therefore, many users at the first opportunity purchased it.

As we noted above, that the price of this smartphone is very tasty, And it is $ 105. But at the same time, for that kind of money you will receive the following set of characteristics:

• The phone is able to support Dual-SIM, that is, the active work of two SIM cards, but take into account that the phone slot has a combined type, that is, either SIM+SD, or SIM+SIM
• M2 Mini is equipped with a 4-core processor of the MT6735 modelwho also it has a 64-bit architecture
• Installed rAM, volume of 2 GB
• The screen has a diagonal of 5 inches, and has an IPS type matrix with HD resolution
• A 13-megapixel module is installed as the main camera from Samsung, the quality of the images will be much better than the Wileyfox Swift smartphone.

The best smartphones up to $ 150

Xiaomi Redmi 3

The sale of this smartphone started from a mark of $ 145, but the time later decreased to $ 120, so you should not expect an even greater drop in the price of this smartphone.

But still let's look at what the developer offers for that kind of money.

The main difference From the predecessor of Redmi Note 2, consists precisely in a metallized and brutal housing.
