Chinese ultra cheap phones and we shouldn't buy them

How about a phone that costs less than 40 dollars and has double sim, camera, color display, MP3 player and even bluetooth, touchscreen or WiFi?

Sounds like a good, but it is usually a big hassle. Care must be taken with the Chinese models very cheap because they all have the most expensive and other problems even worse. In this text I will cite some examples of the Chinese version of “cheap is expensive”.

How about the ZTK 2252 by 16.99 U.S. dollars? This is a clear imitation of the simplest Nokia phones, But unlike the original has a horrible camera (0.3M pixels) and bad reception. The battery is usually the most serious defect and the manufacturer says that it only lasts 2 to 3 days of stand-by, While the good brand lasts longer than a week. Bad deal!

Worse still when the phone does not have even a brand invented, as is the case with the photo below HD10. When the Chinese are trying to do “design” usually comes out something stupid, as is clearly the case.

Wrong specifications are very common, as the “HD display” written on the phone. The resolution is only 176 pixels!

This even has bluetooth, but still have all the defects of the other: drums and horrible camera.

A mistake to think the A350 shown below is an Android phone. The Chinese copy the interface, the icons and status bar to look like the Google operating system, but in truth, like most phones of this text, It is a homeowners that cannot be expanded. Download games or apps will not be possible in any ultra cheap Chinese phone (except in Java).

The Touch Screen of the A350 is resistive, IE, pressure sensitive and not to touch. Although they have been resistive models good, This is not the case for Chinese phones, where is a baby make a finger drag to move a picture!

Want to go back to the time of “Tijorola”? It is perfectly possible to buying a M3 combining tijolão design with a color display. A drug? Certainly… The manufacturer declares 1000 mAh battery but the phone should not last even 2 days of stand-by.

How about a blackberry to impress the guys at work? Actually, the 9981 a copy of the photo is much lower than the original. Has low screen resolution, 0.3 M pixel camera and all other defects of this text.

It is worth remembering, for those who still have any hope of access to internet and Facebook in this text phones, None of them has 3 g! All access the internet just by Edge or GPRS WAP 2 g era. It never worked right: It is so slow that we give access.

  1. I DON'T GET THE PART OF BLACKBERRY ?
    THIS BRAND SO BAD ?
    AND THE ZTE BRAND ?
    HTC?
    WAVE?
    CUBE?
    YOU KNOW SOME OF THEM?

    • ZTE and HTC are Chinese brands top-of-the-line, that doesn't mean exactly be good. Wave is a good brand, that always strives to launch and correct defects of products. Cube I don't know. BlackBerry is a good brand, but the cell in question is, logically, false.

  2. Hi buddy what do you think of this one, I bought at DealExtreme:

    • Looks interesting, I just don't know the brand Doogee. Maybe it's not a brand, just a crazy name of some Chinese. When you get, be sure to write your impressions here in tudovemdachina. Leave the link to the product on dealextreme and receive credits if someone else buy the product from your text…

    • Have one of the faults that I showed in the text: don't have brand (Since star is not a manufacturer).

      Other than that, the fact of having only 512 MB of RAM (Since the standard today is 1 GB) and only 1500mAh battery are the drawbacks that I see more clearly.

      But also, for this price, parece que pode valer à pena.

      • Tinha um cupom de 15%, então acabei comprando ele. Agora é esperar chegar 🙂 😛

        • Tomara então que seja um bom telefone. When you get, take some pictures and do a review here at tudovemdachina. If you want to send me the pictures I publish here on the site. Hugs and thanks for the ratings!
