A few hours ago, Apple introduced their "boundless" iPhone X! Undoubtedly, it is impressive!
The screen of the smartphone takes up almost the entire front panel!

Xiaomi also introduced the second Xiaomi Mi MIX. The first version of which inspired "designers" of a number of Chinese second- and third-tier firms.

For those whose opportunities are limited by finances or religion, which does not allow spending several average Russian salaries on an endless smartphone from Apple or Xiaomi, I suggest discussing alternatives from the Middle Kingdom. Albeit not as endless as the iPhone X. Namely:

Doogee mix lite
About $ 110


LEAGOO KIICAA MIX
About $ 110
Profile topic:Leagoo KIICAA Mix

Mnusa (from seller questions on GB)
- no event information LED
- no OTG

UMIDIGI Crystal
Approximately $ 100 for 2GB and $ 140 for 4GB version
Profile topic:UMIDIGI Crystal


Bluboo S1
About $ 150
Profile topic:Bluboo S1 - Discussion



MAZE Alpha
Approximately $ 170 for a version with 4GB of RAM. $ 210 c 6GB
Profile topic:Maze Alpha


Doogee Mix 5.5
Approximately $ 180 for the version with 4GB and $ 200 for the version with 6GB
Profile topic:Doogee Mix - Discussion


Elephone S8
About $ 240
Profile topic:Elephone S8



Of all this zoo, smartphones I personally know only Elephone. I heard about him both good and bad. But somehow $ 240 for a second-tier Chinese smartphone ... Toad is choking!

$ 180 for Doogee Mix 4/64 look somehow more interesting. According to the reviews in the profile topic is not so bad. There are problems with the fingerprint scanner. Only the screen resolution on the 5.5 "screen confuses. After all, PenTile (as I understand it)?

Or maybe the "try" frameless LEAGOO KIICAA MIX to take? Only 110 $ That's just a completely new - no reviews. It may even be a non-working device ... (it also confuses what's written on GB: Dispatch: Ships between Oct 2 - Oct 4. That is, when it comes to me is another question. Maybe by the new year :-D)

What do you think?

vasay.ru,
some basement basement))
also only elephone is well known ..
Do you want a frameless, maybe it's worth something normal in the store to see ?? Usually in the first 10 minutes when the smart is in your hands, you need it or not. maybe you don’t have to spend money at all and you don’t like frameless smarts)) and if you’d like this concept phone, then I’d take a closer look, they have good ones without smarts. but I would not take the third Chinese echelon .. my opinion is that it is better to spend and spend $ 300-400 once, than 3 times for $ 100-120

Make a vote.

vasay.ru,
Yes, it's all one fieldcellarsberries In my opinion, it is better to take the cheapest, if you want just out of curiosity. Consider only that the “frameless” of all these last-tier Chinese is quite large and it is better to first see the real photos with the screen on, preferably on a white background. I saw on Ali a comparison of Doogee Mix with Xiaomi Mi Mix, the framework for Doogee is thin to name the language. : D

If there was something to look at in our stores :-) In addition to the iPhone, which, however, has not reached them yet :-D



$ 300-400 on smart I feel sorry. Nevertheless, it is a consumable, which is usually shaken, faster than obsolete ... Although a pair of cheap plastic Chinese (one of whom Xiaomi RedMi 2 was bought at one time for $ 70 when JD was actively moving into our market and distributed discounts) were surprise durable. You can not say about the smarts of glass and metal.


Made


The main thing is that it could still be used :-D



It is yes :-) Also an important point.

as they say "we are not rich enough to buy cheap things"
in terms of technology, it is better to spend once a little more than to change the same smart one every six months. miser pays twice)
But this if you want a smart one.

if just out of curiosity, then I am the average option for the price .. not as bad as the cheapest, not as good as the most expensive: D

My previous smart (YotaPhone 2) did not live a year. And it was not the low price that ruined it (it cost a bit more than $ 100), but falls from a jersey pocket during pokatushek on MTB. I doubt that the iPhone or Galaxy would have survived this fall better. And it would be much more offensive.

But the budget, sometimes very tenacious. At one time to try WP bought a Huawei Ascend W1. So for 5 years I have been carrying it with me (as a dialer). The full plastic case, including the screen, is indestructible!
True, just now I want to replace it with the Chinese frameless (I used to walk with 2 phones)

I will join Vasiliy - the phone must be of such value that losing it would not be a big problem. Especially since at the moment you can buy a good phone for $ 100.
And the Chinese frameless ones discussed here are not so bad - everyone has their own shoals, but they are no different from the bugs of other products of these manufacturers.

It is my opinion, perhaps my answer, that the equipment from the “non-brand manufacturer” of “hzkakogodpodvala” cannot serve for a long time .. naturally I could be wrong.
but still, I think that some kind of samsung j5 or honor 5c or redmi 4 will last longer (assuming you don’t beat them on the asphalt)) than arcs, liago and their ilk

if we get lucky. My ZOPO ZP900 purchased at the end of 2012 is still working.
P.S. beat on the asphalt repeatedly

A few years ago, Xiaomi was also treated as non-branded to the manufacturer. And now it competes with Apple in prices and sets trends in the smartphone fashion.

vasay.ru Where to get xiaomi for $ 1000?

Well, MI MiX 2 almost caught up ... 800 greens for almost all ceramic case and 256 MB.

Vendetta177 , this is one smartphone that stands out rather in the line ... I think it is more logical to look at average price tags, or at least about really massive devices
So then Huawei has a huaporsh ... but does this not mean that Huawei is more expensive than the epp?

vasay.ru,
Doogee and Elephone such a fate clearly does not shine, this is a completely different way from the company. : D

Here is a long time ago he wrote:

These brands do not disdain that:
1. They lie in the characteristics, especially with the capacity of the battery.
2. They lie on presentations ("frameless" phones with huge frames, etc.).
3. They shove viruses and non-deleted adware into the firmware (Doogee, Homtom and someone else were noticed).
4. Do not update the system at all. Even security patches do not come. There was no update, no, and there will not be.
For example.

But if purely "try" - why not? I could have taken it myself. Try, play and sell.

And large companies, such as the Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei, and so the market is seized with swift pace.
They have such jambs with the deception of users and never have been. =)

Vendetta177,
Mi Mix first with 128GB costs about $ 500, the second was promised the same price. Find an iPhone with 16GB of memory for at least $ 500. =)

se for 300))

This is where such a "freebie"?

I see $ 1000 + On GB, in general, for almost $ 2000!

vasay.ru , you just look at the site with the highest prices on xiaomi. : D

official chinese price
If someone in the market will sell mi6 for $ 1000, we will also take into account?

This is a smartphone that set the trend in fashion.

And why not compare top devices for the price?

That concern VAG produces cheap type of VW Polo, so it is not necessary to compare the Audi A8 with the MB S-Class or BMW 7-Series?

It is just that Xiaomi has more consumer coverage than Apple.

That's what strains :-( I would not want to get a scattered smartphone and meager battery life.

Posted on 09/13/2017 at 15:22:



Well, I looked at the well-known large venues ... Although, I agree - JD is now much cheaper ...
