The 5 best Chinese mobile brands of the moment

  • Huawei is not considered to be one of the lesser-known Chinese brands.
  • Xiaomi offers high-quality smartphones at competitive prices and faces certain challenges in terms of consistency across its models.
  • Meizu stands out for its good quality/price ratio and fewer variants in its range of mobile phones.
  • LeEco and OnePlus focus on offering high-end features at more affordable prices than their competitors.

Meizu Metal

Are you going to buy a new mobile? You probably want the best smartphone for its quality / price ratio. If that is the case, then you may be considering buying a Chinese mobile. Now, what are the top 5 Chinese mobile brands right now?

0.-Huawei

Number 0 is Huawei. The company is Chinese, yes, but the truth is that we cannot say that it is a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer. We are not referring to a company with many years of existence, and specialized in the world of telecommunications for years, but we are going to talk about Chinese mobile brands that are not as well known as is the case of Huawei.

1.- Xiaomi

Xiaomi Redmi 3 Colors

Although their sales figures this year are not as high as they thought they were going to get, the truth is that today Xiaomi is still the highest level Chinese mobile manufacturer in the market. They are talked about as a possible future rival for Apple and Samsung. Their latest releases, the Xiaomi Redmi 3 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, are theoretically very economical mobiles, but with technical characteristics of a level much higher than their price. The launch of the Xiaomi Mi 5 is also going to be key this year. However, the truth is that they launch so many variants of their smartphones that there is a lack of coherence and it is difficult to know which mobile is each one. In addition, they have faced some problems in 2015 to which they will have to find a solution in 2016.

2.- Meizu

Meizu Metal

After Xiaomi there would be Meizu. A company that for many is even better than Xiaomi. They also launch mobiles with a very good quality / price ratio, as is the case with the Meizu Metal. Their high-end mobiles are capable of competing with the high-end smartphones of Samsung, LG and company, but they are somewhat cheaper. They have a great design, and today, if what you are looking for is a high-end Chinese mobile, without the Xiaomi Mi 5 having arrived in 2015, one of the best options is the Meizu Pro 5. The great advantage of Meizu is that it has fewer smartphones than Xiaomi, or with fewer versions of each of its smartphones. Meizu Pro 5, Meizu Metal, and Meizu MX5, the three phones to consider from Meizu right now.

3.- LeEco

LeTV The 1S

LeEco is the company that used to be called LeTV, which has just changed its name for the international launch. They are characterized because they do not launch entry-level smartphones, but only high-end mobiles. Even so, the quality / price ratio of their smartphones is also very good. And the best thing about the LeEco is that the design is incredibly good. They take care of every detail on their smartphones. In that, they are very reminiscent of Apple. Of course, you have to pay more to buy a LeEco, but because they are smartphones of a somewhat higher level.

4. OnePlus

OnePlus 2 Designs

They started by launching one mobile a year, but in 2015 they have already launched two smartphones. The OnePlus challenge the best-known mobiles on the market with similar technical characteristics but much cheaper prices. The flagship, the OnePlus 2, is priced at around 340 euros in its most basic version. Without a doubt, their smartphones are to take into account if you want a new mobile and want to save some money.

5.-Doogee

Doogee F3 Pro

Although I leave several, such as Ulefone or Elephone, I think that Doogee is one of the best Chinese mobile manufacturers. In fact, with worse components they make their smartphones run faster than those of their rivals. A clear example is the Doogee Valencia 2 Y100 Pro, a very basic smartphone, with a price of less than 100 euros, with good finishes, and with a very good performance.
