out about the phone and the brand

Before sending the money to the Chinese distributor to buy your new Android smartphone should spend some time researching what they’re buying. Before venturing to buy that mobile five inch quad-core processor make sure first that you want a terminal that size. Then check if a Mediatek’ll have enough fluidity and whether or not, you have SD card is a pair plus you. This advice is logically applicable to all types of mobile regardless of its origin, but with Chinese phones have to take more care mainly because they are not hosted here and your return may be more expensive.

Some Chinese manufacturers are expanding in the same way as did the Koreans (Samsung, LG, HTC …) years ago. By The Free Android have followed the story of Hugo Barra and of Google to change Xiaomi and I’ve told the story behind Meizu two examples that highlight the rise of Asia’s largest economy.

Read

and reviews

As part of the investigation, it is essential reading reviews and see all videos of reviews needed to know everything before buying the phone . Even Sponsored and brand presentation videos can be worth taking a look to see how much money they have deposited in your product or if you have simply presented to have something to have on their shelves.

Check if the phone will work in your country

all telecommunications networks operate in the same way, in Chinese TD-SCDMA is used. And every country has its own communication protocol for both smartphones created on a site are not necessarily compatible with other areas. This support comes from the processor and modem used, and like the Most Snapdragon themselves are compatible with most networks, many others are not. If you intend to use the networks should get a WCDMA 3G model, although again have to check the frequency you use your device. With the arrival of LTE this problem has only intensified , so be very careful and detailed review this aspect if you want to take full advantage of your data rate.

Scan the buyer or

Store

When we buy a smartphone segundomano we constantly monitor the veracity of the author, as in this case is similar. They Many Chinese shops are full of spam, comments with fake positive reviews and anything credible. Bring very careful with this type of practice and learn and ask real users reviews.

Get advice

If you’re not sure you want to say something or need help. We recommend that you go to sections or questions forums full of recognized experts on these issues as of htcmania.com. Do not rely on resellers, for many because of the commissions they earn on average are able to sell good as something they know is not so. This underlying market has made the information bipolarice detractors and people with all in favor.


Are you really available?

Another key issue in buying these phones is when available. Many times we make a payment but actually unwittingly is a pre-order, and the due date is delayed sometimes weeks . In these cases it is also difficult to get a refund, because in reality everything is being processed. Check if the company well behind and when you actually have stock available. In case of doubt always goes very well ask.

Chinese factories of Shenzhen and other cities do not have an endless amount of material, though unfortunately cut personnel costs often can not cover the ambitious task of building an Android smartphone.

Check

specifications

Check

not one, but two or three times the final specifications that puts you’re buying. often think that we are going to buy a mobile in particular and it turns out that was a variation with a lower quality screen, a battery pack, safety problems or without LTE support. Sometimes we even sell smartphones with Mediatek processors that do not even exist, so that new careful in this respect, it represents one of the dangers of the Chinese market.

Stay tuned

sure it matches the description

Another common problem related to the previous point is that we sometimes sold as real, fake smartphones. Whether cheap copies of S4 we sell it as the real or even fake phones like Xiaomi Hongmi not actually exist, or at least not with that name. If it sounds too good to be true, maybe not. Always check the image shown and if it matches the conditions of the sale.

Meet

shipping and taxes

Another point that gives more problems, it is shipping from China. Some companies have warehouses in Europe and the U.S. to avoid these problems. But those who do not, will often send us almost more expensive than the smartphone itself. Perhaps this is an exaggeration, but sometimes it’s better track to see where our mobile and if we stop at customs , with the added cost it has. An added headache that selecting a good provider can be avoided.

Android-PayPal

Use Paypal

If you have followed all these steps and you think is the smartphone you want, we recommend one last tip for making payment. Do by Paypal, a service that will offer additional safety that the transfer by bank account can not. If things get ugly Paypal will always be there to arrange and offer a full refund if you are not entirely correct.
