Kitayfonov classification scheme
Classification kitayfonov (Chinese smartphones)
If we consider Keith Smart on a 2D chart "price (x) - the quality of consumer (y)",
then the graph will be a few islands smarts different prices and consumer qualities (a usable).
The first island / price "quality": These are Chinese brands such as Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo,
Fly (the mediator, not the manufacturer)entered into a contract to sell smarts in commercial networks of mobile operators in the world market. But one of the points of such agreements is that now the manufacturer can not konkurirovta prices of cellular operators and smarts to sell cheaper than the operators. Consumer qualities of these smarts are similar to smart from top, plus they have a little better value than completing OTC, and in most cases the local rather than the Chinese guarantee. But if you take them at once is 30% or more of the overpayment. Or, for the same price, it will be worse camera (5 megapixel), less memory (RAM), weaker acc. or there's no flash. Therefore, because of the price or worse performance data smarts so far less profitable to buy than smarts from top. Because a. Smarts from top in the first place made for the Chinese market that they have the best price-quality ratio (you'll need. Properties).
The second island / price "quality": It smarts from top. This is such brands as: ZOPO, Thl, JiaYu, UMI, Amoi (eng), Hero / Caesar (OEM zopo), some models Newman'a, FreeLander (OEM Newman'a), CJ (OEM thl), tooky (minimum price but there are questions about the spare parts). Data smarts characterized by all consumer properties as well as for the previous group (at a lower price and slightly lower: reliability, quality, incl appearance..). It is properties such as:
Best value / price "bells and whistles" (performance), but at the same time - the maximum tehpoddezhka and maximum community (community) of user data SMART.
By "TOP'ovoy" those. support means:
- Softovaya support, regular output Russified firmware (even for the European model), the presence of root, rekaveri, mods, patches, facilitating the user lives (good work light sensor).
- the railway. support - in most cases you can find and purchase screen and touchscreen (15-45 ye), loops.
- the accessory support - you can buy inexpensive original bumper (case), carrying case, film.
- the guarantee. support. If there is a factory marriage can be smart to send to China for a free one-year warranty repair (the cost of shipping to China (acceleration) and back (Singapore) from 12 to 25 ye (depending on the CIS region)).
The third and fourth island of "price / quality": This usually smarts such as the Chinese brands: STAR, ULEFONE, Haipai, Dapeng, Bedove, ISA, CDS, Bluebo, Chigon (OEM ...), Cubot, separate models Newman'a, FreeLander'a (OEM Newman'a), CJ ( OEM thl).
With a slight discount on the price (on the price and performance smarts indistinguishable from the previous group) in this group
much worse consumer properties:
It smarts in many respects similar to the brands. Ruth also have sometimes rekaveri fused firmware certain amount of tech support
(But with inflated prices for spare parts) . E. They may well be used.
But due to the fact that the firmware on them hardly updated, relevant firmware schools (communication problems, otvalivanie simok) usually no one removes (although this occurs in whale brand). E. The discount price, which is obtained when purchasing a smart, instantly evaporate due to the high marriage when receiving phone (when you return to the supplier at his own expense), searching for information about firmware, finding spare parts, spare parts and cost while trying to sell a little-known smart .
"The third island" differs from the fourth - the presence of the brand name in the model name. Model of the third "grade" easily identified through a search, and they are quite often sold the shares (often labeled as OEM versions of brands, compatible firmware version).
Smarts fourth group - is very hard to identify (usually they do not have the brand model only) and hard (
Only through a smart seller ) Pts. expensive ($ 50 for the touch and the screen), or
is impossible or get some spare parts. In fact smarts fourth group - disposable device.
Driving rutovaniya, creating patched rekaveri smart and drain the full backup firmware is very well established on the chips MTK, and often does not require any special knowledge. Still need a decent community and someone with hands growing from the right place to do it right. And this work can be time consuming and there are risks okirpichit smart. And so on. To. To remove a Chinese junk, SMS viruses need a rut, then there is no benefit to save a couple of bucks to then spend 5 hours or more to create a theme to a Smart firmware. And there is no guarantee that the GPS will work well, or the camera will take more or less decently.
"The fifth island" smarts usually without the brand name is usually in only a model, but the main difference - the lack of those. support (and soft-iron). . That is, when in fact the same price that the Group 4 - very dramatic subsidence features a smart consumer. And the lack of Russian language in such a smart puts an end to it.
Clones
In the fifth "grade" often includes a variety of clones.
The whale smartphones true rule: The bigger whale like a smart brand, the worse it is quality, large noneym, less components, less its technical support (software and hardware) at the maximum - completely lacking those. support (single or dialer broke briknulsya - thrown), the more his marriage more incompatible models.
There are exceptions. These are some ayfonopodobnye clones with the larger community, but at inflated prices by 1.5 times. Such has Softovaya support, but it does not mean that they have everything in order with the iron (production in the cellars of the regrading of parts affects the quality) and noneymovost (lack of direct access to the manufacturer) affects the price of the same touch screen or can not be purchased.
for clones prices are often overestimated because of the legal risks of their release and much demand for them. On the clones you will immediately lose in money and in quality. It smarts for students and children t. To. In this environment, these models are popular and sometimes not so critical if the truth be revealed. But buying these smarts often means that you (your children) brainwashed by the media and you can easily suggestible, manipulated, and you care about you other people say.
More than a bozo, lame question in the branch kitayfonov: "Give me a model clone to ________?" - you can not imagine. The seller on the market, the coveted heard the question, understand that smarts you do not understand and sell sucks (like the 6573), that later half of the year will not care.
If you ask, the most high-quality Keith Smart with the best consumer characteristics (with the best aspect ratio. Quality price of an average price segment (not top-end)).
The "island of the sixth" conditionally smarts (actually dialers) because there is no truncated processor: 3G, GPS, cuts up to 256 MB RAM, and usually (though not essential) - none of those. support and access to spare parts (ie. a. no sane expert who fumbles in iron, not afford to buy such crap, then to the so spend your time to increase its sales and improve its soft-tech. support). Especially those smarts - phony with the community 5 people. Theoretically, purely on the roulette laws they can get Ruth and even rekaveri and drain firmware. But this does not improve iron jambs model and improve its attractiveness t. To. The software will simply have nowhere to put, and due to lack of memory, it will always be unloaded. Contacts are uploaded constantly, slow down and not to scroll. It's smart with the lowest possible price, but at the same time the lowest possible consumer qualities.
Total:
Beginning with the fourth (third) "grade" Keith Smart - they all belong to the group "African smarts." "Cheap" (purely for marketing reasons (deception)) models are available for poor consumers, even by Chinese standards so. E. For Africans and the level of well-being and level of education. The last does not mean that the smart ultimately cost you less than the brand (available for the Chinese middle-income countries). The rule is: "The greedy pays twice, stupid three times, and goof ..." The first time he paid for a smart, then overpay for his soft-Help Desk (if there is one, or kill time on rutovanie okirpichivanie or (depending on the result)) . The third time is paid time and money when searching for parts. Having bought myself 4-6 "grade" you identify yourself clearly enough, and most likely - will lose money.
I do not care how smart you yourself choose, unless you are advertising without noneymy Russian (and all the more clones) or have written positive reviews with a hint of "Take it - could not be better."
Nevertheless, the number of people to step on the same rake, or walking along the curve track clones (ongoing advertising) - only grows, it can not hurt.
