My sister also uses a Chinese phone, the P8 Lite of Huawei, and it offers a octa core processor, so I think that it's better and faster of the smartphones which have been mentioned in this discussions.

But generally I obviously think that Chinese smartphones are much better of their international reputation. :smile:


Atleast Huawei has a good reputation in my home country especially the honor series
OMG! I have the jiayu s3 the flahship model of the company a year ago. It's really good comparable to a htc m8 spec wise with a octa core mtk processor. It was only £100. However you should really be looking at Xiaomi or Meizu phones which are really popular in china. They produce phones better than samsung and apple in my opinion. They often have next gen cpus before the competition optimised with a huge fanbase offering root options and cost a lot cheaper. The xiaomi mi4 a iphone lookalike for example has the exact specs of phones such as the s5 when released earlier.

You might consider phones from here though as import and support for phones may be low.

I've interpreted from your profile that you're from India. It's interesting to read that Huawei has a good reputation there. :smile:

But I've to confess that I don't know the Honor series. Do those mobile phones specials characteristics. The P8 Lite and the P8 for example offer a very good camera.

Sorry, but I can't understand the context with my question.

I've asked about the characteristics of the Honor series... and not about Xiaomi... and I don't think that elephants are interested in smartphones. Even if they are very intelligent animals.

A low end honor phone for 100 GBP
Thank you very much for the link!

I must say that for 100 GBP it the Honor 4X seems to offer interesting characteristics... expecting the 8 GB of internal memory. :colonhash:

Hi.
I have had a THL T6S for about a year. I have a problem with the back camera which has stopped working. The flashlight also seems to not work now as well. The camera app shows on home sxreen and loads but the back front camera switch does not show and I am stuck on front camera. The app itself does not appear in the all apps listing. Loading another camera app from playstore has the same problem. Can you suggest what I should do? Thanks.

3 sims are notoriously awkward when it come to functioning in sim free and unlocked phones.
You'll be better off just buying a budget phone from a 3 store, less time and hassle.
Hi I’m so glad I found you! I have just purchased a m10 android phone from Wish, I know it comes from China. I am planning to use it as a work phone, so I have inserted a 3 sim PAYG. It’s not recognising ( I have the understanding it unlocked) and as it’s a dual sim I found another old 3 sim. It’s not recognising any sim. What am I doing wrong?

Dual sim phones don't accept any sims from the 3 network.
They accept sims from vodafone, 02 and ee.
Most dual sim phones do accept smaller companies sims but never 3.
Thank you! That explains it!

Do I need to use 2 sims? Or can I just stick with one?

The above post in incorrect.

What's the full name of the phone you've bought?

This is incorrect, I've used a 3 SIM card in three different dual SIM phones over the last two and a half years.
