4, common problems of Chinese smartphones and how to avoid them

Cheap Chinese flagship everyone likes. It seems that what is now needed at all smartphones A-brands if they are the same, but are more expensive? But in fact, with devices from China you've probably run into some unpleasant problem.

1. Useless applications out of the box

In China, many of the world services do not work, so the producers set analogs. Only now we have these analogues are not necessary, and often they do not work or work poorly. Remove unnecessary applications at the same time is impossible. They take the place of vain and sometimes make themselves felt intrusive notifications.

The Xiaomi smartphones still quite bad: out of the box there are even viruses. They are harmless, but in the way, because impudently withdrawn advertising over the applications and notifications. This happens due to the fact that the firmware MIUI open source code, and it is easy to build trash. That is what unscrupulous sellers.

I have to get root-rights and to remove unneeded applications manually or change the firmware on the net. In any case, it is likely to have to spend an evening.

If you buy a Chinese smartphone in Russia, you can ask the seller to pre-install the firmware without the Chinese services, but are not always meet.

2. bad software

Grab the factory cheap components, employ almost free by our standards labor, rent a room for a penny and put together a good - on paper - a smartphone easy. But for him to write high-quality software is not that at all.

Firmware often looks terrible, slows down and is not updated. Chinese flagship may not work better than some budget-Sony, despite the top-end processor and a lot of RAM. Because Sony is able to optimize the software, and Dyadya Lyao Company - no.

3. low quality cameras

Released all right already, even in public sector: it is difficult to find a smartphone that has the main camera will be less than 13 megapixels, while the front - less than 5 megapixels. Another issue is that they do not take pictures.

Camera - this is not only a sensor, but also the software for it. For example, many Chinese middle class smartphones equipped with a module Samsung S5K3L8, but pictures of everyone in different ways. And more often than bad.

4. The copied design

You can buy a good smart phone for smart price and enjoy the purchase, but the mood spoil the constant questions about what it is you iPhone. With the design of the Chinese on the "you": they either do something absurd, or just copy Apple smartphones. Exceptions are rare.

For someone such issues do not mean anything. But to explain every time that you do not have the iPhone, Meizu, or something else, quick tire.

What to do?

Solution one: read reviews and reviews. It is better to spend time and buy a Chinese smartphone from among successful than after a few hundred dollars for something absurd. If the time or inclination to delve into the review, you do not, then buy smartphones A-brands. They are more expensive, but no surprises.

Maybe, then do not take the Chinese? No, in China there are indeed worthy of manufacturers: Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, Meizu, OnePlus. With these problems happen much less frequently and more often due to the fact that you order devices intended for sale in China. They are easy to solve by simply changing the firmware.

On a less well-known and trusted manufacturers need to look carefully and thoroughly study the feedback and reviews. Features have great price - even better, but it is a risk to buy and then regret it.

Now, almost no Chinese smartphones, which will not have to mess around at all. Where it is necessary to change the firmware, somewhere to get root-law and remove unnecessary applications, something will have to just accept it.

However, to run now frankly bad smartphone from China is much more difficult than even two or three years ago. Then it was far more fatal problems with iron: They give a bad sensor, cheated with a capacity of the battery, very bad collected phones.
