Also Chinese smartphone manufacturers use some cheating and tricks to increase the attractiveness of their devices. You can buy powerful smartphone from Xiaomi, Meizu, Vivo or others, but the real specifications of the device are not the same as stated on the manufacturer’s website.

In this article we look at how phone manufacturers from China deceive their buyers. Also we will tell you how to identify the advertising tricks when choosing a new smartphone.

Problems with software

The first problem of Chinese smartphones is software. Very often new devices from China do not provide Google services, such as Google Play Store, YouTube, Google Maps, etc. Chinese smartphones work on their own user interface that is not always clear for western users.

Also your new Chinese smartphone can be able to launch the latest Android games, for example, GTA SA, Modern Combat 4, but the firmware works very slow and always hung. Sometimes it is impossible to use such device. The only way to get rid of the problem is to change the firmware.

Insufficient optimization

In addition to the previous point many Chinese smartphones have weak optimization, so very often the operating system does not work well. For example, I have a tablet Cube U30GT2. The power consumption of the tablet in standby mode is comparable to watching movies or surfing the Internet. Therefore, even if you do not use the tablet you still have to charge device every 10-12 hours.

Bad optimization also affects the incorrect display of the battery level, and the unexpected closing of application or even turning off the device. As we have said before, if you want to get rid of the problems with Chinese smartphone or tablet, you need to install a global firmware.

Bad Localization

By default, Android includes 50 language packs. The exceptions are some models when manufacturers remove unused languages. Therefore, Chinese companies prefer to use the firmware with the largest number of language packs. It could seem that it is an advantage, but Chinese engineers did not bother to locate the firmware for a particular model, because everything is ready. In fact, Android is semi-finished product that requires a little improvement from manufacturer.

The Chinese smartphones often contain items that you can not find in default Android build.Therefore, some parts of the inscriptions in the settings menu have not been translated, or somewhere translation consists of a set of unconnected words. And again – the solution is to install global firmware.

Interpolated camera resolution

When buying Chinese smartphone for $80, you can not expect high-quality images from main camera. Using interpolation, smartphone manufacturers increase the size of the image, which has a negative impact on the quality and detail.

We often met smartphones with camera resolution 13MP or even 16MP, but in fact they have only 5MP or 8MP. For example, Doogee F7 Pro has 21-megapixel sensor, but Chinese manufaturer decided to increase resolution to 26MP. Why do they do it?

If you want quality photos, we recommend you not to buy smartphones with interpolation. Select the appropriate resolution matrix camera in the settings. You can identify the real resolution of camera with the help of following apps: AnTuTu Benchmark, AIDA64 or Everest.

Weak sound speaker

Users of cheap Chinese smartphones complain about weak sound speaker when talking. The problem is not critical and can be easily solved via engineer menu. But many people do not know about the problem and continue to use the Chinese smartphones.

You should find a special service code for your smartphone to enter engineer menu. After that open «Audio» and «Speech Enhancement». Here you can set the volume level.

Conclusion

High competition in China market is forcing manufacturers to release products at a lower cost. Many Chinese manufacturers hurry up and forget about the optimization or some other functions that are necessary for user.

We recommend you to buy proven Chinese smartphones from manufacturers, which have long been on the market or received good reviews from analysts and technology publications.

Innos (IT. “Hymn”) – Italian company registered in China. One of these days, this brand introduced a smartphone Innos D6000, equipped with the ability to establish just two batteries of different capacities, thus changing the thickness of the shell and battery life. Furthermore, the model can operate in two different operating systems.

Battery Innos D6000 capacity of 4000 mAh

The Italian manufacturer has announced a new D6000 as “intermediate” mid-level smartphone, promising enough to attract the attention of the user. For example, the device can be purchased in versions with Android or Windows Phone, as it is compatible with both systems. But his main “highlight” still is the use of a set of two batteries.

In itself, this solution is not new, the company offers long Innos similar devices, including a rebranding in Russia under the name Highscreen Boost. But this time the company has taken a slightly different way, and one of the batteries integrated into the housing, and the second made removable.

Built-in battery casing was “control” the capacity of 2000 mAh. The second battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh. As a result, the output produced quite a decent dual battery with a total capacity of 6000 mAh. Accordingly, the user gets longer battery life, which is especially important in the journey.

The thickness of the smartphone Innos D6000 does not exceed 12 mm

Innos D6000 also has an interesting design for a smartphone with a large battery, demonstrating that it is not necessarily completely sacrificing size, to provide the convenience to travelers. Among its main features are:

• 4-core Snapdragon processor with a frequency of 600 data exchanges 1.9 GHz.
• 2 GB of RAM.
• 16 GB of internal memory, expandable via MicroSD.
• OS choice Lollipop Android or Windows Phone 8.1.
• 5,2-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels.
• 16 megapixel main camera with dual LED flash.
• The front camera of 5 MP.
• Dual-SIM 4G LTE
• Thickness when installing a second battery – 11.9 mm.
• The ability to “hot swap” a large battery.

Details about the price and availability have not yet been reported. I think that we should wait for the model under the name Highscreen from “Vobis Computer”.

China – the country is quite specific. If we talk about politics, culture and other aspects. But one thing is indisputable in China – an architectural scale.

It was learned that the international airport in the capital of China hardly cope with the load. Passenger traffic is growing every day, soon the situation may get out of control.

Therefore, the local authorities have initiated the construction of a better air station. Terminal project has already been created – it will be the largest on the planet.

The market is now a very large variety of smartphones. Passing in front of the stands in the store you can go mad from so many gadgets. But this is only the well-known manufacturers. In China, produce a lot more brands of smart phones than we can imagine. Not all of them are bad and cheap, some can easily compete with venerable companies such as Samsung, Asus and HTC.

So, on the world market was pretty good smartphone yet little-known Chinese manufacturer Manta. Model called simply – Manta X7. An excellent feature of this metal accessories is a complete lack of physical keys. We were a bit unusual … something we’ve learned that there are at least a couple of buttons, and there is a heart disorder. But nothing can survive, given that control the phone easily. Under the large display is a touch panel, which is not allocated to a glossy and very easily soiled case. This touchpad works as a button “Home”. All the buttons are replaced by touch panels, because if you want to raise the volume a little music track – side there is a panel for this. She will turn off and turn on your smartphone if necessary.

A good company will have to look for a long time – the company Bau Mix according to your wishes fully developed project future shop and even be able to carry out development.

Very pleased that the body is made of metal, although in appearance very similar to plastic. But this is only at first glance. Once you take the “rectangle” in hand, once you feel the power of metal. A smooth transition from the appearance to the technical stuffing, which is very serious. Display – 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920 workers by 1080 pixels. Production matrix for display company engaged Sharp – it immediately inspires confidence in the quality of production. Powered smartphone thanks to a powerful quad “stone» Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz. Not to say that given with a margin of RAM. For all steep, to date, the games should be enough memory. Under storage – 32 GB with the possibility of a supplement. Phone got two cameras, each of which is 13 megapixels.
