THE BEST CHINESE SMARTPHONES YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Chinese smartphones have emerged from a murky past of iPhone clones and shady software to become a new force in the global market. These phones tend to be a lot cheaper than phones sold in the West, even accounting for import costs, but often have equally good build quality and features. There are some great Chinese phones which are officially sold in the US, but there are many more you may not have heard of which aren't, so we've put together a list of the very best of both for you.

Here is the list for best Chines Smart phone

OnePlus 5
Honor 8
Honor 6X
OnePlus 3T
Huawei Mate 9
Honor 9
Xiaomi Mi 6
Xiaomi Mi Mix
Huawei P10
Meizu Pro 6
Lenovo ZUK Z1
Lenovo Vibe P1

OnePlus 5

The OnePlus 5 is the latest flagship from the Chinese manufacturer, and it's an absolute beast, even compared to its flagship killing predecessor, the OnePlus 3T (also on this list). There are two variants, each with differing RAM and internal storage amounts. The 64 GB / 6 GB of RAM version goes for $479, while the 128 GB / 8 GB of RAM version is just $539. Considering that this device has the latest Qualcomm processor, the same Snapragon 835 as the Galaxy S8 in fact, this is an incredible price.

As we noted in our review, the OnePlus 5 bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone 7, but the back is more curved and ergonomic, with a less significant camera bump. With such an overkill amount of RAM, the phone has fantastic performance, and the Dash Charge keeps it juiced up well. The camera performance is perfectly adequate, and best of all, it's available in the US.

Honor 8

The Honor 8 is a truly impressive device for its price. It's less than $400, but it manages to perform on par with the $700 flagships of the moment. With this device, Huawei managed to make a top of the line smartphone for half the price and it looks gorgeous.

The Honor 8's design sets it apart. Plus, it has premium touches, like the glass and aluminum body, strong performance and excellent battery life. Add the dual 12 MP camera system with an optical image stabilizer, double pixel technology and rapid focus to the mix and you can see why we think it's an excellent value phone. Best of all, you can get it in the US easily.

Honor 6X

Again, Honor sets the bar high. The Honor 6X caters to the needs of connected millenials looking for an affordable phone without compromising too much with the specs. It offers most high-end features, but the price-performance ratio is what really sets it apart.

The 6X has a 5.5-inch Full-HD LCD display, 16 nm octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 655 processor and a 3,340 mAh battery. These aspects combined mean you're getting a powerful smartphone that can breeze through a day of normal use without breaking a sweat. It runs the latest version of Android and has a satisfactory 12 MP rear camera, too.
