Chinese Technology-Addition to Your Junk?
First it was the Chinese cells, then the radio/fms ,then play games, i-pods, and now, mobile-phones. Like their growing population, has grown the demand for their tech-products. It Seems like Chinese are trying to take overtake tech-markets of the world, including India. No, it’s not about new technologies developed in the hand-sets, like the Japanese market, but the thing which clicks, is their low prices.

Now the latest in demand are these low-cost mobile-phones. They are digging deep into the mobile-markets all over the world. Lets see if utility is the main reason for the popularity of these mobiles:
First have a look at this One example:

Can you guess prize of this phone? 12k? 15k?
Nope! it’s just 4.7k & available in black market. At Bangalore you can find them at National Market & Burma Bazaar.It has got lot of features in it & doesn’t makes hole in your pocket! But I have few of cons about this phone. Here are they:
1. Though it looks good, build is not so good. Keypads are bit OK, touch screen is not so sensitive.
2. Camera clarity is below average, I have not seen good images taken from this phone.
3. Sound quality is also below average. You will definitely get headache if you listen to it more than half an hour through inbuilt speaker.
4. Not able to install any application since it uses it’s own OS & not any standard OS.
5. Problem in configuring GPRS settings, many are commenting on TB asking help.
6. No idea on which company manufacturing these phones, no warranty.
7. Since these phones are not officially released in India, it might be illegal to use these phones.
The only big PLUS I have seen in this phone is TV. It is so clear & you can watch it in widescreen. You can watch live cricket telecast while traveling if it is broadcasted by Door Darshan. There are lot of other phones with different set of features & different price tags. For me it’s not a good go with the above list of cons. I still love Nokia, Sony Erricson & Motorola models.
Some users:

These Chinese phones are cheaper to buy… but maintanace is very costly…. Battery drains with in a day … Also, if you watch TV, it drains within 30 mins ..

The point to note down here is there are also brands in Chinese products which are very very good.
