Oukitel U18 smartphone review
Oukitel U18 - the appearance can lie
The Chinese company Oukitel carefully examines the audience's needs, but in some cases such research is a bit harmful for the manufacturer.

However, the excessive similarity of the new model with the hit will hardly influence it from the positive side.

Nomu M6 smartphone review
Nomu M6 - durability in disguise
The Chinese firm Nomu is well-known for producing high-qualitative IP68-smartphones, that are not deprived of a productive hardware and a thoughtful design.

Ulefone Armor 2S smartphone review
Ulefone Armor 2S - a simplification, that is worth of purchase
Not every person can afford himself an expensive flagship smartphone. Even having a necessary sum of money, a large part of the market audience does not want to overpay for a set of not very important options.

Xiaomi Mi Note 4 - return to former positions
In recent years, the Chinese company Siaomi has significantly expanded the range of flagship products, complementing the usual Mi-line with more frameless premium fablets Mix.

HomTom S12 smartphone review
HomTom S12 - the abode of style
The Chinese company HomTom constantly updates the range of products of the budget segment. Most of the changes in new models are about design.

Kingzone A3i smartphone review
Kingzone A3i - an outsider of the segment?

Kingzone A5i smartphone review
Kingzone A5i - a stranger from the past
Nowadays a segment of budget smartphones is growing and developing at an accelerated pace. For a relatively small amount of cash, the buyer receives at his disposal an attractive, ergonomic gadget that contains most of the functions that a modern phone is able to provide. However, a quality of the functional is not always at a high level. And the hero of our today's review, unfortunately, proves the statement mentioned above.
Overview of the smartphone Kingzone C5
Kingzone C5 - beauty and only
Each manufacturer is characterized by a number of peculiar features peculiar to it. This can be both advantages and disadvantages.

UMiDIGI Ironman smartphone review
UMiDIGI Ironman - an unsuccessful experiment?
The popularity of action cameras is decreasing every day.

This fact makes the decision of the Chinese manufacturer UMiDIGI to create a hybrid of a mobile phone and the above variety of cameras is very controversial.
Ulefone Mix 3 smartphone review
Ulefone Mix 3 - fear of change

Allcall Mix 2 smartphone review
Allcall Mix 2 - unhurried conquest of the market
The Chinese company Allcall does not long please users with its smartphones.

However, an ambitious developer decided to fundamentally correct the situation and released a technological flagship phone.
Huawei Honor 9 Lite smartphone review
Huawei Honor 9 Lite - simplistic beauty
Creating a more accessible version of the flagship device is always a challenge. The manufacturer must preserve not only the best features of the original, but also make the gadget that has its own "face" and relevance of technical characteristics.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 smartphone review
Xiaomi Mi Max 3 - increase my hand, sir

The Chinese company Doogee is looking for new ways to expand the range of products to increase the coverage of a potential audience.

Meizu M7 smartphone review
Meizu M7 - affordable manufacturability
The popularity of the Chinese corporation Meizu increases every year, but this fact does not mean the success of the company in all price segments.

Meizu M7 Note - a reasonable product
The Chinese firm Meizu is now in no hurry with the launch of new products and is closely watching the actions of competitors, analyzing them and finding mistakes.

Uhans i8 Pro smartphone review
Uhans i8 Pro - a powerful additive!

Lenovo K320t smartphone review
Lenovo K320t - a continuous compromise
Timid attempts of the Chinese company Lenovo to regain its former positions in the low and middle price ranges of the smartphone market cause double feelings. On the one hand, we want to see something as interesting as the A830, S650, S850 models, which pleased with their excellent appearance and impeccable balance of technical characteristics. On the other hand, the backlog of competitors over the past few years has become immense. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is unlikely to be a phone, about the purchase of which millions of people are dreaming.
Oppo R13 smartphone review
Oppo R13 - who do I look like?
The Chinese company Oppo is one of the leaders in smartphone sales in China. The quality and functionality of the company's products, backed up by a magnificent design, atoned for its inflated price.

Xiaomi Mi7 Plus smartphone review
Xiaomi Mi7 Plus - the dream phablet?
The Chinese company Xiaomi held the current year more than successfully.

Leagoo S9 smartphone review
Leagoo S9 - a real bezelless phone
The desire of the Chinese company Leagoo to catch up with the leaders of the smart telephones market should be praised.

The hero of today's review, for example, has every chance to become the first truly bezelless device with a screen sides ratio of 18:9.
Oukitel K10 smartphone review
Oukitel K10 - crazy autonomy!
The Chinese Oukitel company continues to surprise its fans.

Vernee X1 smartphone review
Vernee X1 - the most functional powerbank in the world
Flagship smartphones are amazing with their impressive design, great performance and other nice things.

But these actions won't be necessary with the hero of today's review.
EL Mix 2 smartphone review
EL Mix 2 - strength test
The current year has become really significant for the segment of protected smartphones. The category of phones, which for a long time remained popular only in narrow circles of users, was overgrown with a large number of fans. The reason for this is a reduction in the overall dimensions of the devices, and an improvement in their functionality and overall manufacturability. The hero of today's review should demonstrate all the attractiveness of modern IP68-phones.
Doogee J1 smartphone review
Doogee J1 - beauty in simplicity
"An attractive smartphone does not have to be expensive" - this is the opinion of the Chinese company Doogee.

The hero of today's review was no exception to the rules and for claiming to the title of a bestseller he lacks only a couple of things.
Leagoo M9 smartphone review

Elephone U Pro smartphone review
Elephone U Pro - a second wheel is extra?
The Chinese company Elephone decided to please its fans with the release of just a couple of flagships.

The Chinese company Meizu the last couple of years, lived on the principle "that'll do". This fact is especially noticeable in the range of models of the middle price segment.

Elephone C9 smartphone review
Elephone C9 - the sale of components?
Developing a smartphone is complicated and expensive. Unfortunately, not all efforts of the developer justify themselves.
