The best Chinese phone brands. The best brand of Chinese smartphones: review, rating, description and reviews

Rapid development of the Chinese market mobile devices contributes not only to excellent quantitative indicators of production development, but also to their qualitative growth. An analysis of smartphones released in 2018-2019 showed that the number of gadgets with decent technical characteristics far exceeded the number of frankly weak devices. Very successful solutions have also appeared that can compete with famous brands.

It’s easy to get confused among the abundance of gadgets, given the fact that even in certain price or target niches there are dozens, if not hundreds of models. Studying technical parameters, popularity, owner reviews and price component made it possible to compile the TOP 10 most successful models of 2018-2019, as well as a rating of the best smartphones according to the most important indicators.

TOP 10 most popular Chinese smartphones

Xiaomi Redmi 4X

Redmi 4X is one of the best-selling smartphones of the past year, continuing Xiaomi’s victorious march in the Russian market, begun by the legendary Redmi Note 3 Pro. Considering its reasonable price, you won’t be able to get your hands on this gadget even if you want to – it has balanced characteristics, high-quality assembly, and regular updates with the ability to install many third-party firmware. Worthy alternatives Redmi 4X simply doesn’t have it in the price segment up to 10 thousand rubles. And if you want, you can buy it even cheaper - for 7/8 thousand

Meizu M6 Note

We consider the Meizu M6 Note to be the closest competitor to Redmi 4X. Moreover, Meizu’s first smartphone with a Snapdragon processor is superior to 4X in some characteristics - it has fast charging and a dual camera, and in general the photos on the M6 ​​Note are much better. But it costs more, about 3-4 thousand rubles. Among the major differences between smartphones, we note the location of the fingerprint scanner - in Meiza it is built into a mechanical key located under the screen, while in Xiaomi the scanner is located on back cover, and firmware - Flyme and MIUI. In all other respects, these smartphones are approximately equivalent.

Huawei Nova 2

In the “above average” price segment, smartphones from Huawei traditionally rule the roost; the first model included in our rating is Nova 2. This is a smartphone in a compact metal case with a dual main camera, a large amount of memory (64/4 GB) and a powerful processor. If you want to purchase a hassle-free smartphone that will perform well in any use scenario, buy Nova 2 and you won’t regret it. Of the pitfalls, it is worth considering not the most outstanding time battery life(2950 mAh battery, fast charging available) and, in our opinion, a somewhat inflated price tag of around 20 thousand rubles.

Xiaomi Mi6

Everything is concentrated in the flagship Mi6 strengths smartphones from Xiaomi. It is head and shoulders above other competitors in terms of price/quality ratio, since there is not a single other smartphone on the market that for 26 thousand rubles will give you a top-end Snapdragon 835 processor, a ton of memory, stereo speakers and excellent battery life. Let's blame the Mi6 for the lack of a 3.5 mm jack (included is an adapter for USB-C) and the camera is not as cool as other flagships. But this is nitpicking. This smartphone will please anyone, even the most demanding user.

One Plus 5

OnePlus 5 – the smartphone is good, but controversial. It copies Apple's design, does not provide the user with water resistance, stereo speakers, and does not have memory card support. Compared to the flagship from Xiaomi, these disadvantages can become critical, but there are advantages. In particular, pure Android version 7.1.1, the best camera among Chinese flagships, which pleases not only with high-quality pictures, but also with lightning-fast operating speed, as well as an AMOLED display, which has a positive effect on the autonomy of the gadget. One of the advantages of One Plus 5 is the presence of a traditional 3.5 headphone jack.

Motorola Moto Z2 Play

After the American brand Motorola was bought by Lenovo, the once iconic company can safely be included in the camp of Chinese manufacturers - all Lenovo smartphones now they come out under the name Moto. One of the most successful results of such cooperation is considered to be Moto Z2 Play - this is a smartphone that supports replaceable modules, with good battery life, a camera, excellent sound quality in headphones and an AMOLED display. Disadvantages - mediocre performance for a price of 25 thousand (Z2 Play is equipped with a Snapdragon 626 processor), and not the most powerful main speaker.

Motorola Moto Z2 Play

ZTE Nubia Z17

Smartphones from the Nubia line from ZTE have always been good flagships that, even without aggressive marketing from the manufacturer, found their loyal users. The Z17 is a continuation of the very successful Nubia Z11 model, in which nothing has changed dramatically, and everything that was good has become even a little better. There is a powerful Snapdragon 835, 128/8 GB of memory, a dual camera and an excellent frameless design. But there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, which looks somewhat strange in the absence of moisture protection as such.

Huawei Honor 9

Honor 9 – very cool smartphone. It looks cool and stylish, has an excellent camera (20+12 MP), good performance (chipset – Kirin 960), sufficient memory (64/4 GB) and fast charging.

In fact, this is an ideal choice for everyone who does not want to pay exorbitant amounts of money for flagship models, overpaying for an overly powerful processor and numbers of unnecessary characteristics, but at the same time wants to get almost all the advantages inherent in them.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Mi Max 2 is the best shovel phone of 2017 on the market. Xiaomi gave customers everything they could want from a similar smartphone with a price tag of less than 20 thousand rubles. Judge for yourself - 6.4 inch screen, Snapdragon 625, 64/4 GB of memory expandable, 5300 mAh battery with fast charging, stereo speakers. We recommend Mi Max 2 to everyone who is looking for the optimal device for consuming multimedia content. The only complaint we can make is the lack of an NFC module.

Chinese smartphones with powerful batteries

The trend towards larger screens and increased productivity of mobile devices leads to the fact that some smartphone models barely survive from morning to evening. For users who don't like to sit near a power outlet, our rating of the 5 best models with the most capacious batteries will certainly help.

Oukitel K10000 Pro

Oukitel K10000 Pro is the record holder for battery capacity among all long-lasting smartphones on the market. Its survivability is ensured by a 10,000 mAh battery, which in a standard scenario of using a smartphone is enough for 4-5 days of operation without recharging. And the characteristics here are quite decent - 5.5’’ FHD IPS screen, 8-core MT6750T processor, 32/3 GB of memory with a MicroSD slot, 13 and 5 MP cameras, a fingerprint scanner and the latest Android 7.0. The price of the smartphone is 12 thousand rubles, and it is definitely worth the money.

Oukitel K10000 Pro

Doogee BL7000

The BL7000 differs from Oukitele in its more modest design and smaller battery, 7000 mAh. With active use of the smartphone, it lasts for 3 days, which can be considered excellent result. In terms of characteristics, the Doogee BL7000 is even better, it has more memory - 64/4 GB, and a dual camera of 13 + 13 MP, the front camera resolution is also 13 MP. The smartphone just went on sale at a price of $200, and the first owners speak about it exclusively on the positive side.

Moto E Gen.4 Plus

The Moto E4 Plus is an excellent workhorse from a trusted brand that costs the right amount of money and has everything to satisfy the needs of the average user. The smartphone is based on the MediaTek MT6737 processor, equipped with a 5.5-inch HD screen, 16/3 GB of memory, 13/5 MP cameras, an NFC chip and, most importantly, a 5000 mAh battery. Among the shortcomings of the E4 Plus, we can highlight the solid body weight of 200 grams, as a result of which it cannot be recommended for purchase by fragile girls.

Moto E Gen.4 Plus

Ulefone Power 2

The smartphone has a stylish design, whose front panel is reminiscent of devices from Meizu (the multifunctional Home key is also present here), and the back side is the flagship HTC 10. The 6050 mAh battery is the main trump card of the Ulefone Power 2, it is enough for 3 days of active use of the gadget. The performance and display are typical for inexpensive Chinese phones, but the cameras are terrible, so lovers of mobile photography should avoid this smartphone.

Fly FS554 Power Plus

While most of the smartphones in our rating will have to be ordered somewhere and waited, the Fly FS554 Power Plus can be purchased at almost any local store cellular communication. At the same time, for a price of 10 thousand rubles, this is a very decent smartphone with a 5.5” FullHD display, MediaTek MT6737T chipset, 16/2 GB of expandable memory, 13/5 MP cameras and a 5000 mAh battery. You can take it with confidence.

Fly FS554 Power Plus

Frameless Chinese smartphones

Chinese manufacturers have never forgotten that a modern smartphone is not only powerful hardware and a capacious battery, but also an image accessory. The last factor is directly related to the design of the device, so we present to your attention a rating of frameless new Chinese smartphones for the 2017 model year.

Leagoo KIICAA Mix

KIICAA Mix is ​​a representative of a countless group of smartphones that copy the design of the flagship Xiaomi Mi Mix. At a price several times lower than the original, it can offer an almost identical design and relatively good hardware (5.5’’ FHD display from Sharp, MT6750T chipset, 32/3 GB of memory, 13+2 and 13 MP cameras, 2930 mAh battery). The pitfalls are the location of the main speaker, which causes poor audibility of the interlocutor, and the absence of brightness/proximity sensors and a 3.5 mm jack, while the adapter required to connect headphones is not included in the kit. However, taking into account the low price of 6 tr. it's not critical.

Leagoo KIICAA Mix

Doogee Mix

Doogee Mix is ​​a smartphone from the same opera. It outperforms its Leagoo counterpart due to rich equipment (there is a case and a film for the screen), more memory - 64/4 GB, and a slightly more capacious 3380 mAh battery. However, in part software everything is not so rosy here - the crude Doogee Mix firmware, with numerous bugs, can cause quite a few headaches for the owner of the device, so before buying a device you should weigh the pros and cons.

UMIDIGI Crystal

UMIDIGI Crystal stands out from its analogues with its interface - it runs on an almost pure Android 7.0 shell, as a result of which using this smartphone is much more pleasant than other Chinese ones with trashy OS. The characteristics are also not bad - MT6750T, 64/4 GB of memory, IZGO screen from Sharp and dual camera. For a price of 100 dollars - not bad.

Bluboo S1

Bluboo S1 is positioned as a more expensive device, which is evident in the build quality and materials - the smartphone body is covered with glass not only on the front, but also on the back. The heart of the smart phone is the powerful Helio P25 processor, memory – 64/4 GB. Owners of Bluboo S1 attribute weak cameras and quiet sound from the main speaker, the pluses are a cool display and stylish appearance.

Maze Alpha

Maze Alpha is the best frameless Chinese smartphone that can be bought in the price segment of about 10 thousand rubles. This is a well-tuned device with a solid build, a high-quality 6-inch screen, and good performance.

It also outperforms its analogues due to its autonomy; the 4000 mAh battery lasts for an average of two days of using a smartphone. When purchasing, you should take into account the considerable weight of the smartphone, as much as 225 grams.

Chinese phablets

We consider the best smartphones with a large screen diagonal in 2017 to be:

Xiaomi Mi Note 3

The third generation of Mi Note from Xiaomi has evolved from an uncompromising flagship, which was Mi Note 2, into an affordable smartphone with a large screen (5.5’’ FHD) and average specifications. The phablet is equipped with a Snapdragon 660 processor, 6 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB storage. The camera resolution is 12+12 MP and 16 MP (front), battery capacity is 3500 mAh. This good choice in a situation where Mi Max 2 seems like a huge shovel to you, but you don’t want to overpay for the flagship bells and whistles of the Mi6.

Xiaomi Mi Note 3

Honor 8 Pro

Another smartphone from Huawei in our rating, which is hard to find fault with even if you wanted to. The characteristics are excellent for the price - 5.7'' 2K display, top-end Kirin 960 processor, 64/6 GB of memory with a slot for a flash drive, dual 12+12 MP camera, 4000 mAh battery with fast charging, NFC, IR sensor, USB -C. With a price of just over 30 thousand rubles, this is an excellent smart device that can become an alternative to any flagship.

Meizu M3 Max

M3 Max is not the latest model from Meizu, which has been successfully selling for a year now and will remain relevant for a long time. The smartphone is equipped with a 6-inch screen and a Helio P10 processor with 64/3 GB of memory. This is a gadget without any special complaints, which is simply a pleasure to use due to its excellent build and perfectly polished Flyme OS, which in terms of speed and smooth operation will give odds to the operating system of any Chinese smartphone.

Leagoo M8 Pro

An ultra-budget phablet with a 5.7-inch display and modest specifications (MT6737, 16/2 GB of memory, 13/8 MP cameras, 3500 mAh battery). When buying an M8 Pro in China, you can buy it for 5 thousand rubles, and you won’t find anything better for that money. The smartphone works quite quickly and stably, supports LTE, recognizes external devices V USB mode OTG, and has a fairly loud multimedia speaker. Thanks to the massive metal frame, the M8 Pro is extremely durable, it confidently survives falls from great heights, and in general is perfect for the role of a child’s first smartphone or a gadget for heavy-duty use.

LeEco Le Max 2

After the LeEco fiasco at Russian market You can only buy their smartphones on AlieExpress, and if this doesn’t scare you, then Le Max 2, in terms of price/performance ratio, will be an ideal choice. For less than 15 thousand, you can get a smartphone with a 5.7-inch 2K display, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 64/6 GB of memory, 21 and 8 MP cameras, and a 3100 mAh battery. Le Max 2 runs any game at maximum graphics settings, takes good photographs, records 4K video, but does not have a 3.5mm jack or NFC chip.

The most expensive Chinese smartphones

The top most expensive Chinese smartphones traditionally include products from the most famous brands from the Middle Kingdom. Their technical specifications truly impressive, which is why these popular phablets are able to compete with devices from famous world manufacturers. We present to our readers a rating of the most expensive smartphones from China.

Mi Mix 2

Mi Mix 2 is a continuation of the cult smartphone from Xiaomi, which became the reason for the appearance on the market of all the frameless crafts we are considering above. The second generation of Mi Mix increased autonomy, received an adequate earpiece, and retained top-end technical characteristics. This is an excellent fashion smartphone that evokes the same “wow” effect that can be bought for 30-35 thousand rubles.

Meizu Pro 7

The flagship from Meizu does not sport the now fashionable frameless design, but takes a different approach - additional screen on the back panel, which displays notifications and other useful information, including an image when using the main camera for selfies.

The smartphone is great in terms of photo capabilities, sound quality and software, but loses to other flagships in screen quality and lack of NFC. The latter is a serious problem for a top-end smartphone, but it’s worth considering that Meizu Pro 7 is cheaper than its analogues - 20-25 thousand rubles.

Axon M

Another unusual smartphone is a transformer from ZTE, which consists of two panels with 5.2-inch FHD screens, which when folded out forms a kind of tablet. The Axon M is equipped with a not-so-top-end Snapdragon 820 processor, but it does have a dedicated AKM4962 DAC, which makes the smartphone sound amazing in headphones. Only the battery raises serious questions; its capacity is a modest 3180 mAh, which is frankly not enough for the active use of a gadget with two screens. Price: $725.

Razer Phone

The parade of unusual Chinese continues with the Razer Phone - the first “gaming” smartphone on the market, which is aimed at an audience of gamers. The gadget is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 835 processor, 64/8 GB of memory, stereo speakers, a dedicated 24-bit DAC and an amplifier for each speaker. But the main feature of this smart device is the 5.7-inch display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which provides an extremely smooth picture when playing any content. The Razer Phone costs $700.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Let's move on from unusual models to real premium ones. Huawei Mate 10 Pro is the most expensive Chinese flagship 2017. The smartphone, priced at 800 euros, is crammed with everything possible - more powerful hardware, a 6-inch 2K OLED display, dust and moisture protection, stereo speakers, cameras from Leica and, what the manufacturer himself highlights, a separate processor for implementing artificial intelligence, which gives Huawei's business phablet a lot of additional functions such as the ability to recognize objects in the frame, speed up the launch of applications and allows the smartphone to adapt to the habits of its owner

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Inexpensive Chinese smartphones

For those users who do not need the “wow effect”, as well as people who do not believe that “a good show off is more expensive than money”, budget models from many manufacturers are aimed. Despite their low cost, many of them are well equipped and functional. So, a rating of inexpensive, but productive and high-quality devices.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A

Chinese manufacturers know a lot about budget smartphones, and Xiaomi has succeeded in this niche almost better than all other brands. Redmi Note 5A is a balanced smartphone with the best camera in the price segment under $100. It does not shine with performance (Snapdragon 425 percent), but at the same time it does not have any weaknesses, which can ruin the experience of owning this device. Among the advantages are separate slots for 2 SIM cards and a flash drive, the presence of an infrared port, and the absence of throttling, which is typical of most cheap smart phones, under load. We recommend for purchase.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A

Meizu M6

Many will say that budget smartphones from Meizu have not changed for a couple of years, and they will be right in their own way. However, are these changes necessary if the company has found that golden mean in terms of quality and economy, making its smartphones always a pleasure to use? Meizu M6 is made in a metal case, has a good 5.2-inch display, a good camera and normal battery life. With an issue price of $100, this is a very good choice, which will be head and shoulders above any basement China.

ZTE Blade A6

Inexpensive smartphones from ZTE are widely represented in domestic cellular equipment stores, so you can most likely buy the Blade A6 at your place of residence. It will stand out from its neighbors in the showcase due to its good performance, thanks to the Snapdragon 435 processor and 32/3 GB of memory, good battery life (5000 mAh battery) and a high-quality metal case. But the smart phone itself is not without its drawbacks - almost all of its owners complain about the device heating up under load, and in terms of cameras it is noticeably inferior to the same Xiaomi and Meizu.

Huawei Honor 6C Pro

Huawei is also sold at most retailers, and when buying a smartphone offline, Honor 6C Pro can be a priority choice. The gadget has standard characteristics for its price - MT6750 processor, 32/3 GB of memory, 13 and 8 MP cameras, 3000 mAh battery, metal case with a fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is made very well both in terms of build quality and software, and therefore no problems should arise during its use.

Huawei Honor 6C Pro

Leagoo M8

If you need something “cheap and cheerful”, take the Leagoo M8. On Aliexpress, a smartphone costs 4,000 rubles, and this is the best you can get for that price. The only thing that limits this device is the lack of support. LTE networks. But it handles 3G well, and you simply don’t expect to see such a decent screen and cameras, along with a somewhat rough but reliable build, and a loud multimedia speaker in a smartphone for $75.

1.Oppo

Flagship 2017 - Oppo R11

In first place in the ranking of Chinese smartphone manufacturers is a relatively young company that created the Oppo R5 and Oppo R5s with a 4.85 mm thick body. Oppo is the leading 4G smartphone maker in China, with a market share of 15.2%, although it is overall behind other brands such as Chinese rivals Xiaomi and Lenovo, as well as South Korean manufacturer Samsung.

The company's main activity is creating mobile phones with some of the best selfie cameras in the world.

There are tons of "cheap" Chinese phones out there, so what makes Oppo's products stand out?

• Firstly, the brand’s philosophy, which is to maintain very close relationships with both users and the developer communities involved in creating firmware and other “improvements” of released gadgets.
• Secondly, the company strives to update its phones on a regular basis, adding new features and changes based on feedback received from users.
• Thirdly, Oppo engineers are not afraid to try new things and think outside the box when it comes to hardware and features.

As an example, Oppo has traditionally released various firmware updates at least once a week. While most users liked it, some also felt that the fast-changing firmware had a perpetual "beta" status. The solution was simple: Oppo now has two different sets of updates to choose from. Official release new firmware comes out every 2-3 months. The Beta Path is for those who crave the latest features and don't mind a minor hit to stability in exchange for quick updates.

Dear readers, today we present to your attention the best Chinese smartphones of 2017. I think there is no need to explain why this TOP 10 rating best phones we dedicated specifically to devices from the Middle Kingdom. Chinese companies have grown in recent years from producers of second-rate crafts into giant holdings and pioneers in many fields.

Numerous companies with enviable regularity present the market with one new product after another, generating the highest competition, which, ultimately, gives us budget smartphones with decent characteristics, as well as flagship solutions at affordable prices.

We decided to divide the TOP 10 best Chinese smartphones of 2017 into two equal parts:

1. The first category included high-quality phones, the price of which is within 10,000 rubles, and in general terms they fall under the definition of a budget device;
2. in the second, flagship solutions from manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom were identified.

So, we believe that none of the readers will leave without a new smartphone.

Budget best Chinese smartphones priced up to 10,000 rubles – rating from the site

Well, let's start with the best budget Chinese smartphones, which are incredibly popular. In the TOP 10 rating of 2017, we included a couple of phones that already boast high sales, and several more models are new to the market, but will undoubtedly become hits. Let's begin!

Oukitel U 15 Pro is the best budget Chinese smartphone with 3 GB of RAM

Oukitel is, as you may have heard, a third-tier company. Why did its devices make it into the best Chinese smartphones? The manufacturer, despite the opinion of many experts, is not going to stay at the bottom of the market for long, introducing a new smartphone almost every month.

The company cannot yet boast of sophisticated flagships with the best hardware, but it has presented quite a few high-quality budget devices. There is one and very cheap representative Oukitel C 5 Pro, which for 3,500 rubles (sellers price) flaunts support for 4G and 2 GB of RAM. There is also a long-lived smartphone Oukitel K 6000 Pro, which provides up to 4 days of battery life.

However, we selected something in between - Oukitel U15 Pro. A new Chinese smartphone that began selling at the end of last year. As befits a good budget smartphone, the U15 Pro attracted users with its affordable price, which is complemented by good characteristics. The all-metal smartphone surpasses many competitors in this price segment in terms of memory capacity - we have royal 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM for an inexpensive device.

Some characteristics:

• Android 6.0
• Chip: MTK6753
• Display: 5.5”, HD
• Memory capacity: 3+32 GB
• Cameras: 16+5 MP (interpolation)
• Battery: 3000 mAh

Those who are not familiar with modern Chinese technology may be surprised high quality Oukitel U15 Pro build: strong metal, durable glass and good ergonomics. In your hands, the smartphone does not feel like a cheap craft. Really good screen, even if it doesn't have one Full resolution HD: rich colors, wide viewing angles and good oleophobic coating.

The processor is from MidiaTek and is considered to be a budget solution for the lower segment, but there are no problems running games, which is largely possible thanks to the 3 GB of RAM. The camera modules are not flagship level, but in normal lighting the pictures are decent. I would like a more capacious battery, but this is enough for two or three days.

Sellers on AliExpress and other sites offer Oukitel U 15 Pro for purchase for about 6500-7000 rubles and, believe me, there are not many smartphones with similar characteristics in this price range.

Ulefone Power 2 – new from China with a large battery

Ulefone is a company that is similar to Oukitel in many ways. Its products are still classified as third-tier, but this may change in the near future, given the pace at which it is developing new devices. Ulefone recently showed new model Power 2, key feature which became a 6050 mAh battery. And the rest of the characteristics are quite impressive: there are 4 GB of RAM and an up-to-date Android version, and a fast fingerprint scanner.

Some characteristics:

• Android 7.0
• Chip: MTK6750T
• Display: 5.5”, FullHD
• Memory capacity: 4+64 GB
• Cameras: 16+8 MP
• Battery: 6050 mAh

Ulefone Power 2 has an all-metal body, on which only two thin plastic inserts stand out to amplify the signal. The smartphone is well assembled and feels heavy and expensive in the hand. The processor used is MTK6750T - a fairly productive representative of the line of 8-core chips from MediaTek, although there are not enough stars in the sky. But the amount of RAM is really pleasing. 4 GB is enough for absolutely any task. Ulefone Power 2 also has a lot of permanent memory - 64 GB.

The smartphone is equipped with a good 5.5-inch screen, which is covered with high-quality glass using 2.5D technology. FullHD resolution provides high-quality images without visible pixels. Below the screen we have a physical button with a built-in fingerprint scanner. Ulefone Power 2 received Android 7.0, which even some flagships will envy. The highlight of the new product, like its predecessor, is the capacious 6050 mAh battery. The manufacturer promises at least 4 days of battery life with active use.

Ulefone Power 2 undoubtedly deserves attention, which is why it was included in our TOP 10 list of the best Chinese smartphones of 2017. The model can offer good autonomy, the latest version of the OS, as well as productive hardware. Sales of the phone started quite recently, and the cost is around 10,000 rubles.

Meizu U 10 is the most beautiful budget smartphone from China

This is not the first year that the Chinese company Meizu has been pleasing users with high-quality and inexpensive smartphones, which regularly find themselves in various rankings of the best. Today, the U10 model is quite popular, which is ready to offer premium design and good performance for little money. The model stands out from its analogues with a glass body, which is complemented by a metal frame. Meizu U10 looks stylish and expensive.

Some characteristics:

• Android 6.0
• Chip: MT6750
• Display: 5”, HD
• Memory capacity: 2/3+16/32 GB
• Cameras: 13+5 MP
• Battery: 2760 mAh

So, as already noted, the Meizu U10 is housed in a glass and metal body, which together provide a solid design. The smartphone is assembled with high quality, which is also typical for other Meizu models. The display of the U10 is quite small by today's standards - 5". HD resolution, but no problems with image quality. The entire front part is covered with a curved protective glass with a good oleophobic coating. According to the Meizu standard, a mechanical “Home” button is located at the bottom of the front panel, which is complemented by a fingerprint scanner.

The MT6750 processor was inherited from the previous U 10 Meizu phones. The chip is 8-core and has a fairly powerful Mali-T860 MP2 graphics core. The user has two options for U 10 with different memory capacities: 2+16 GB or 3+16 GB. The smartphone works quickly, there are no problems with launching modern games. I received Android 6.0, on top of which the manufacturer installed the proprietary Flyme shell, which is loved by many users for its convenience and beauty. By standard, we have two cameras that take pictures of average quality. A 2760 mAh battery is responsible for autonomy, although it is not the most capacious, but it is enough for a couple of days.

Meizu U10 is one of the best Chinese smartphones under 10,000 rubles, which, at a low cost, pleases the eye with its external design and is easy to use. The price of U10 depends on the amount of memory and varies between 6500-8000 rubles.

Oukitel K 6000 Plus – the best Chinese smartphone with a powerful battery

In our ranking of the best Chinese smartphones of 2017, we decided to include another unusual device from Oukitel. K 6000 Plus went on sale the other day, replacing its predecessor – K 6000 Pro. The key feature of this line of smartphones is a capacious battery that can provide several days of battery life. In addition, the K 6000 Plus can act as a Power Bank, allowing you to charge other devices. And the rest of the specifications look interesting.

Some characteristics:

• Android 7.0
• Chip: MT6750T
• Display: 5.5”, FullHD
• Memory capacity: 4+64 GB
• Cameras: 16+8 MP
• Battery: 6080 mAh

Oukitel K6000 Plus, like most modern smartphones, has a metal body - only plastic inserts on top and bottom, painted in the color of the main part, stand out. The assembly is good, the joints are almost invisible. The smartphone is quite large and heavy due to the capacious battery, so not everyone will find it convenient to use. The display is large and high resolution. It is covered with 2.5D glass, which is fashionable nowadays and does not raise any complaints about quality. Oukitel in this model abandoned the fingerprint scanner on the back side, integrating it into the mechanical button on the front.

The K 6000 Plus is built on the MT6750T processor, which has 8 computing cores. The Mali-T860MP2 core is responsible for graphics processing. To ensure good multitasking, 4 GB of RAM is used. For the user's needs, 64 GB is provided, which can be expanded using memory cards. 16 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera with wide shooting angle. Faster than many top smartphones, the K 6000 Plus received the latest Android 7.0. Finally, the 6080 mAh battery provides autonomy for at least 4-5 days, and can also charge another user device.

Oukitel K 6000 Plus deserves the title of the best inexpensive Chinese smartphone with a large battery in 2017. Now the model costs around 10,000 rubles, but the manufacturer is offering good discounts due to the start of sales, so hurry up.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 is the best balanced and affordable smartphone from China

Xiaomi has been one of the most famous and fastest growing companies in recent years. It produces absolutely any kind of electronics, from fitness bracelets to smart home systems. However, its users are especially fond of inexpensive smartphones. The company recently updated its line available solutions, presenting Redmi 4, which made it into our ranking of the best. It does not stand out for any one characteristic - it is a perfectly balanced model with high-quality performance.

Some characteristics:

• Android 6.0
• Chip: Snapdragon 430
• Display: 5”, HD
• Memory capacity: 2+16 GB
• Cameras: 13+5 MP
• Battery: 4100 mAh

Like all the company's latest smartphones, not counting the ultra-budget 4A, Redmi 4 is presented in a metal case, on which, if you look closely, plastic inserts are noticeable. It is impossible to find fault with the build quality – Xiaomi does not disappoint in this regard. On the back side, in addition to the camera and LED flash, the manufacturer placed the usual fingerprint scanner, and at the front below there are three navigation touch buttons. The screen is medium-sized with HD resolution, which can be called a plus, since FullHD would drain the battery much faster. The cameras have standard characteristics - 13 + 5 MP, but the pictures they take are of a decent level.

What Xiaomi is famous for is the use of fairly powerful processors even in budget smartphones. Redmi 4 is equipped with an 8-core Snapdragon 430 chip from Qualcomm. The amount of memory can be called the golden mean - 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM. There are no problems with the interface freezing or launching any games. The phone works under Android control 6.0, which is likely to be updated by the manufacturer in the near future. In addition, the proprietary MIUI 8.1 shell is installed, famous for its functionality. The advantage was a capacious 4100 mAh battery, which, with a not-so-high screen resolution and an energy-efficient processor, gives up to 4 days of battery life.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 is a universal solution for many users. The smartphone is quite powerful, attractive, and lasts a long time on one charge, and there is no price tag - around 7,500 rubles.

The best branded Chinese smartphones over 10,000 rubles in 2017 – ranking of TOP phones

Quite a few companies from China are now developing smartphones with flagship characteristics that are ready to compete with phones from famous manufacturers. However, the key feature and advantage remains the affordable price.

Xiaomi Mi 5S is a high-quality and powerful smartphone

Xiaomi, along with a bunch of budget-level smartphones, presents quite unusual and interesting flagship new products. Just look at the recent Mi MIX, which stands out with very thin frames around the screen. True, the price is too high for most users. But Mi5S, an improved version of Mi 5, appealed to many. The Chinese manufacturer managed to implement in it both a stylish design and, at the same time, a powerful filling, which is complemented by a durable battery.

Quite noticeable plastic inserts are allocated for the antennas, and the edges remain the same rounded so that the smartphone fits perfectly in the hand. A noticeable difference between the Mi5S and other Xiaomi representatives is the touch-sensitive Home button, which is more reminiscent of a mechanical one. It also acts as a fingerprint scanner that works with wet and dirty fingers. The manufacturer made a compromise by installing both a not too large and not too small 5.15” display with FullHD. The glass covering the screen is noticeably curved at the edges and has an excellent oleophobic coating.

Mi5S runs on fresh and powerful processor Snapdragon 821, solutions with 3 and 4 GB of RAM are available to choose from.
