OUKITEL WP38 phone review
OUKITEL WP38 - how excessive savings spoil a potential hit
The Chinese company Oukitel is trying to significantly expand the range of inexpensive rugged smartphones, but not every attempt can be considered successful. The desire to reduce costs results in serious problems for many of the manufacturer’s models. So, the hero of today's review has suffered from display quality and photographic capabilities.
Realme GT 6T phone review
Realme GT 6T is a hit with 100% probability
The Realme company decided to do something unconventional with its mid-priced models this year. Thus, smartphones intended for China with the Neo SE index have not yet entered the international market with other names, remaining a privilege only for residents of the Middle Kingdom. But the hero of today’s review changes previously established paradigms, providing more people with the opportunity to buy an incredibly functional gadget for its price.
ZTE Axon 60 Ultra phone review
ZTE Axon 60 Ultra - one step away from the flagships
The Chinese company ZTE definitely knows how to make high-quality smartphones, but recently controversial models have also come out of its production line. Thus, the basic phones of the Axon series turned out to be frankly unsuccessful; they are inferior to their opponents both in functionality and design. But the senior representative of the line came out much better; it is ready to compete on equal terms with many sub-flagships from well-known brands.
XXX phone review
ZTE Axon 60 - an unsuccessful continuation of the legendary series
The Axon series of smartphones from the Chinese company ZTE has always offered an excellent combination of functionality and a reasonable price. As a result, phones in the middle and high price segments were very popular. Unfortunately, the developer decided to radically change the direction of the line, and the changes cannot be called positive.
UMIDIGI G6 5G phone review
UMIDIGI G6 5G - crazy and not entirely necessary functionality
In pursuit of consumers, smartphone manufacturers sometimes do strange things. Thus, even experienced developers often introduce unusual features into their products that are not easy to consider as competitive advantages. A similar situation happened to the hero of today’s review.
Google Pixel 8a phone review
Google Pixel 8a - younger, but no less impressive
Google definitely knows how to make smartphones, but most of its products are aimed at the higher price segment. However, the corporation's budget and experience, the presence of hundreds of first-class specialists, allowed the developer to transfer literally all the flagship features to a phone in the mid-price category. That is why the hero of today's review deserves close attention.
DOOGEE N55 Pro phone review
DOOGEE N55 Pro - when memory was not a salvation
Improving a successful inexpensive smartphone and moving it to a different price segment is a difficult task. But it becomes almost impossible if the base model was also mediocre. And all the experience of the Chinese company Doogee did not allow it to turn the controversial device into a potential bestseller.
DOOGEE N55 phone review
DOOGEE N55 - mediocre, but inexpensive
Smartphones in the low-cost segment from the Chinese company DOOGEE often delight with excellent price-quality ratio, which the manufacturer has been striving for for many years. However, sometimes even experienced developers make mistakes. And it seems that the hero of today's review is close to such a description.
Realme C65 5G phone review
Realme C65 5G - deliberately unsuccessful?
Expanding the range of products offered is a prerequisite for successful activities for any smartphone manufacturer. The tastes of each user are different, so the developer simply needs to release dozens of phones of different price categories and directions. Unfortunately, the pursuit of quantity sometimes results in a loss of quality. That is why, even from the assembly lines of leading corporations, devices like the hero of today’s review sometimes come out.
Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra phone review
Ulefone Armor 26 Ultra - heavy artillery
The Chinese company Ulefone never ceases to amaze its fans with new smartphones. Now it’s the turn to present the manufacturer’s updated flagship devices. The hero of today's review combines excellent performance for the price segment, decent photo capabilities, and many other competitive advantages. Of course, there were some shortcomings, but you can safely turn a blind eye to many of them.
OUKITEL C37 phone review
OUKITEL C37 - pleasing with memory, saddening with functionality
The Chinese company Oukitel specializes in creating inexpensive smartphones, but even with all its experience, not all phones produced are perfect. In some cases, the manufacturer saves too much on the display; in some models, the buyer will be disappointed with the photo capabilities. The hero of today's review is deprived of some of the functions that the audience would so like to see.
UMIDIGI G9 phone review
UMIDIGI G9 is a great inexpensive smartphone
The Chinese company Umidigi has partially lost popularity over the past few years. The release of a number of frankly mediocre phones had a negative impact on the brand’s attractiveness to the audience, and the lack of a large-scale marketing campaign only alienated potential buyers from the corporation’s products. However, the developer still managed to react to the changing situation and created many extremely competitive devices at once. One of them is the hero of today’s review.
Ulefone Note 18 Ultra phone review
Ulefone Note 18 Ultra - an attempt to catch up with the leaders
The Chinese company Ulefone is far from being the most successful smartphone manufacturer, but it shows impressive financial results every year, while many of its rivals have already gone bankrupt or lost their audience. At the same time, the corporation stays afloat not due to a large-scale advertising campaign, but precisely thanks to balanced and competitive phones. The hero of today’s review is ready to outperform opponents in the price category in terms of functionality and performance.
HOTWAV W11 smartphone review
HOTWAV W11 - unexpectedly good
You rarely expect a sea of positive emotions from secure smartphones at the border of the low and middle price segments. For the sake of increased phone durability, the manufacturer has to make serious compromises. The quality of the display, the autonomy, the functionality, and the photo capabilities come under the knife. But the Chinese company HOTWAV managed to avoid serious simplifications when creating the hero of today's review. This is why HOTWAV W11 looks advantageous against many opponents.
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra phone review
Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is not the most successful flagship
The Chinese company Huawei still has a loyal army of fans who buy millions of the manufacturer's devices every year. However, it is easy to notice that the abundance of serious sanctions from the United States to this day is reflected in the success of the corporation’s business and its products. Attempts to use proprietary processors and operating systems so far only lead to an increase in the gap from opponents. And the hero of today’s review is a clear confirmation of this.
HOTWAV Note 13 phone review
HOTWAV Note 13 - making the bestseller simpler
The Chinese company Hotwav has not been on the market for so long, but has already been able to release several commercially successful models. Even with a modest marketing campaign, the phones sold an impressive number of copies thanks to their balanced technical characteristics. But the manufacturer does not stop there and is constantly expanding its range. The hero of today's review is a simplified version of one of the developer's hits, which has a chance to at least partially repeat the success of its predecessor.
Oukitel C38 phone review
Oukitel C38 - needs more memory!
Smartphone manufacturers are trying to give competitive advantages to even their most inexpensive products. This is not an easy task, because the developer needs to stay within the cost limits and also maintain a balance of all model parameters. The Chinese company Oukitel has practically coped with all the difficulties described, so the hero of today’s review will definitely find a buyer. But there were some offensive disadvantages.
XXX phone review
Cubot Hafury V1 - a women's smartphone with a twist

Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro phone review
Xiaomi Redmi Pad Pro - major improvements
Tablets from the sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi have sold millions of copies around the world. They provided the brand's signature quality, as well as excellent functionality and autonomy in their segment. But it was not without its drawbacks, the main one of which was not the most impressive performance. The hero of today's review completely eliminates this shortcoming, while maintaining a reasonable pricing policy.
Oukitel WP35 phone review
Oukitel WP35 - avoiding unnecessary risks
To achieve success, a smartphone manufacturer does not always need to release products that change the industry or revolutionize the price segment. Sometimes you just need not to clutter the range of products offered with pass-through models and create devices that are worthy in terms of price and quality. This is exactly what the hero of today’s review became.
Realme GT Neo 6 SE phone review
Realme GT Neo 6 SE is a fantastic smartphone

The hero of today's review evokes precisely such emotions, because he simply has no shortcomings within the price category.
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 phone review
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 is practically a revolution in the segment
The ability of the Chinese company Xiaomi to make not just hits, but smartphones that turn the market upside down is difficult to doubt. Thus, literally every year, a world-famous manufacturer creates several devices with a previously unprecedented price-quality ratio. And the hero of today’s review will make even the most sophisticated fan of mobile electronics reach for his wallet.
Blackview N6000SE phone review
Blackview N6000SE is not the most optimal downgrade
The original N6000 smartphone from the Chinese company Blackview found many fans thanks to its combination of durability, functionality, compact dimensions and reasonable price. But for some reason, the manufacturer decided that releasing a simplified version of the phone with a lower price tag would be a great idea. Unfortunately, the balance of the previously mentioned qualities of the device was lost.
Tecno Camon 30 Premier phone review
Tecno Camon 30 Premier - not a flagship, but a future hit?
The Chinese company Tecno still cannot be called an industry leader, but every year the quality of its products increases significantly. The hero of today's review is the most expensive representative of the manufacturer's range, although in reality it is a model in the mid-price category. But how good he is in all aspects.
Realme C65 phone review
Realme C65 - inexpensive and not the most interesting
Every self-respecting modern smartphone manufacturer cannot do without a wide range of products, because a sophisticated buyer wants to choose. Design, functionality, dimensions - the list of aspects for choosing a mobile assistant can be continued for a very long time. However, it is almost impossible to increase the number of devices offered without fairly passable products. This is precisely the hero of today’s review.
Motorola Edge 50 Pro phone review
Motorola Edge 50 Pro - ideal in the mid-price segment?
Motorola knows how to surprise. Even if not all the smartphones it creates are truly successful, the developer does not forget to release every few real bestsellers. The hero of today’s review amazes with its incredible combination of functionality, beauty and moisture protection according to IP68 standards. Let's take a closer look at all the advantages of the device.
Vivo X Fold3 Pro phone review
Vivo X Fold3 Pro - towards perfection
It is increasingly difficult for modern flagship smartphones to surprise the sophisticated public. Users have already seen top technical specifications, outstanding photo capabilities and other qualities in dozens of phones, so developers have to come up with new ways to amaze the audience. Thus, the Chinese company Vivo has released the hero of today’s review, namely the most ergonomic, thin and technologically advanced “clamshell” on the market.
Xiaomi POCO C61 phone review
Xiaomi POCO C61 - the cheapest bestseller possible?
The percentage of low-cost smartphones in manufacturers' revenues usually exceeds that of phones in the mid- and high-price segments.

The hero of today's review will definitely not empty his wallet and at the same time tries to stand out from his rivals with a number of competitive advantages. But is this a future hit?
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro phone review
Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro is a stylish bomb
The Chinese company Xiaomi knows how to delight with its smartphones.

And its new representative increases this combination of positive qualities to a level previously unseen in the series.
Vivo T3 5G phone review
Vivo T3 5G - not keeping up with opponents?
The Chinese company Vivo regularly produces dozens of different smartphones a year, but not all models in its range become bestsellers. Thus, the manufacturer has a lot of phones that are either inferior to competitors in terms of technical characteristics, or come out later than potential hits. It is the second situation that arose with the hero of today’s review, from whom Xiaomi and Realme have already managed to take an impressive percentage of the audience.
OnePlus Ace 3V phone review
OnePlus Ace 3V - what the sub-flagship of 2024 should be like

The hero of today's review clearly demonstrates all the capabilities of the developer and is ready to compete with the best representatives of the value category.
Cubot KingKong AX phone review
Cubot KingKong AX - a strange continuation of the line
A series of rugged smartphones from the Chinese company Cubot has always been popular. The model with the index “9” sold especially widely, which offered a reasonable price, excellent autonomy, and excellent functionality for the value segment. The hero of today's review is actually a follower of the mentioned hit, but in addition to improvements, the new product also contains a number of simplifications. Will the audience like this phone?
TECLAST T60 tablet review
TECLAST T60 - a big success?
Tablets have not lost their relevance for more than two decades. The amazing combination of functionality, ergonomics and compactness consistently wins the hearts and wallets of millions of new buyers every year. And the products of the Chinese company Teclast occupy an impressive percentage of the number of copies sold. And new products like the hero of today’s review can increase the developer’s popularity even more. Meet the inexpensive, but extremely functional and competitive Teclast T60.
HOTWAV T7 phone review
HOTWAV T7 - rugged, but too stripped down
The segment of inexpensive smartphones protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards is only becoming more popular every year. In pursuit of additional profit, many manufacturers are expanding the range of such devices, but the modern user needs not only durability and an affordable price, but also functionality. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review has problems in this aspect.
Meizu 21 Pro phone review
Meizu 21 Pro - the last flagship of the great brand?
The fate of the Chinese company Meizu is unenviable. A couple of marketing mistakes led to the fact that almost no one needed the developer’s competitive, original and technologically advanced products. The subsequent resumption of the corporation's activities under the wing of the auto giant Geely also did not contribute to tremendous success in the Middle Kingdom. Still, in a few years they managed to forget the manufacturer. And even phones like the hero of today’s review are not able to change the situation.
Samsung Galaxy A55 5G phone review
Samsung Galaxy A55 5G - behind opponents
The A-series of smartphones from the Korean company Samsung has made significant leaps in functionality and performance over the past couple of years, making its competitiveness impressive even compared to its Chinese counterparts. However, it seems that the developer decided to take a break this half of the year and practically not improve the mid-priced model in the new generation of the line.
Nothing Phone 2a phone review
Nothing Phone 2a - conquering the mid-price segment
The Chinese company Nothing, consisting of former employees of the famous OnePlus corporation, is famous mainly for its flagship mobile electronics with a truly original design.

The hero of today's review is the first representative of a new value category for the manufacturer. And it turned out to be quite interesting.
Realme 12 5G phone review
Realme 12 5G - stylish stagnation
The twelfth generation of smartphones from the Chinese company Realme turned out to be heterogeneous. If older models delight with photo capabilities, flagship design and wide functionality, then the younger representatives of the series are less interesting. Thus, the hero of today’s review largely repeats his predecessors and simply lags behind the general technological process.
Ulefone Power Armor 16S phone review
Ulefone Power Armor 16S - not the same volume?
Today, even buyers of inexpensive rugged smartphones want not only durability, but also functionality and additional competitive advantages from their mobile assistants. Manufacturers have to meet users halfway, which is often not so easy.

And it looks like the balance has been maintained.

Tablets at the border of the low and mid-price segment are extremely popular today among fans of mobile electronics. Chinese brands such as TECLAST, Blackview, Oukitel have been especially successful in gaining a foothold in this value category.

And with devices like the hero of today’s review, he has every chance of finding hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers. Meet HOTWAV Pad 11.
AGM PAD P2 phone review
AGM PAD P2 - minus protection, plus photo capabilities?
The Chinese company AGM is famous, first of all, for its gadgets protected from dust and moisture. This was also its first tablet, which also pleases fans of the brand with decent technical characteristics and good battery life. Surprisingly, the hero of today's review suddenly lost his signature strength, but acquired improved cameras. Is such a replacement worth it or is it better to buy the predecessor of the device? Let's figure it out.
ZTE Nubia Flip phone review
ZTE Nubia Flip - mediocre implementation of a good idea
Modern smartphones in the clamshell form factor are far from the cheapest due to the need to use flexible screen technology and other structural features of the device. That is why such units are usually found in the flagship price category. However, the Chinese company ZTE decided to change this situation and release an inexpensive folding phone. Unfortunately, the developer had to save on many parameters of the new product.

Cubot A1 phone review
Cubot A1 - cheap but tasteful
The Chinese company Cubot is trying to keep up with the times and produce more or less competitive smartphones in both the middle and low price segments. The hero of today's review offers not the worst functionality, decent autonomy and a well-developed design for its extremely modest price. Is this enough for success?
Realme 12+ 5G phone review
Realme 12+ 5G - cheaper and no worse?
The twelfth generation of mid-price smartphones from the Chinese company Realme raises quite a lot of questions. On the one hand, its older representatives received new competitive advantages like telephoto lenses, on the other hand, there are not many other serious differences from the most affordable models of the line. Isn't it more logical to buy the hero of today's review, which has a more affordable price tag? Let's figure it out.

OUKITEL WP36 - chasing sound
The Chinese company Oukitel continues to expand its range of secure smartphones, giving them new competitive advantages.

Xiaomi CIVI 4 phone review
Xiaomi CIVI 4 - beauty that does not require sacrifice
The CIVI series of smartphones from the Chinese company Xiaomi is an excellent example of excellent design work.

The hero of today's review has become even more beautiful than its predecessors and, in addition, has increased productivity and functionality.
Vivo IQOO Z9 phone review
Vivo IQOO Z9 - an improvement you want to pay for
The Chinese company Vivo makes both flagship smartphones and their inexpensive analogues equally well.
