I have a zte phone, officially named a Vodafone smart 6 ultra. £125 it cost plus £20 to unlock it (yes, Vodafone are aware their network is ****e so do this for you, other networks might too) so I could use my 3 sim instead. Anyway, for a Chinese built device, and a blatant copy of the iPhone 6 and galaxy 6, for the price it is brilliant. No word for it. It has replaced aa Xperiaz1 which is a great phone itself but this is better (bar built quality, the z1 was different class to everything, glass and aluminium.. Yeh). It runs lolipop as it should, its built for it, it has every single one of the top end features. Has 4g and a 13mp camera (worse than before but I am not so bothered). Sold the z1 for 100quid so with the unlock and nano sim, it cost me £50... For a phone that rivals the galaxy s6 and has 9/10 from all the top sites..... Well done China. It's full HD to, not like the alternative cheap top end tones, Alcatel thingy and moto z or what ever it is. If you dont know what it is and are looking for a new phone, give it a google and read about it. You'd think I work for Vodafone (rather fight sharkbears) but it really is that good. If you have a decent phone, you could probably cover the cost, even make a decent profit and get a better phone, or one almost as good. Vodafone smart 6 ultra is the name. A month ago when I got mine, I had to go to the store 3 days on a row. They were sold out. Same with every local store inc the Trafford centre Vodafone store (only place that sells them). So that's my view on chinese tech. Sure most of it it's crap bit the phone I have.... Brilliant. Recommend to anyone.
My lad started off with a Squire Jazz bass which served him well for several years. He's just moved on to a Warwick Corvette $$. That's made in China as well -- sounds brilliant.
The Chinese phone makers are producing some great products these days (as well as some cheap low end tat, but you get what you pay for). Lenovo, ZTE, Xiaomi, Huawei all good brands. I reckon Xiaomi will have #1 market share in the not too distant future (currently Samsung #1, Apple #2) .
