You will need extra battery. China phones usually get hot like fever and that drains the power quickly. U have to keep a spare battery just in case, and that's bullshit

all Android do dat except it's not under heavy usage, have u tested the tecno h6?

CashdownNG:
Yes… That Chinadroid that seems so sleek and cheap might not just be the best for you.

We all have seen the advent of china phones coming in deluges to our Nigerian market. Well, cheap is always welcomed here as the economy makes people to adapt to get the last kobo value for any product purchased. However, unless you are buying for a short-term period(3-6 months), then you might need to review your policy on chinadroids.

Here are a couple of reasons to reconsider china phones:

SPARE PARTS:

Unfortunately, we are not privy to be close to china as neigbours, most times when a phone’s priced less than $80-100 then you got to ask, what’s the catch? most likely, the parts would be of the level you paid for, not only that, getting their replacements can be a huge pain that you can avoid by going for more recognized brands.



Durability:

Just as the above, they don’t just last especially for hardcore users.. a friend’s Infinix Zero is close to Zero now (Burial arrangements made) and all these claims to have a gorilla glass and all..Wait a minute, Gorilla glass on a $100 phone? erm…i really don’t think so. With the scarcity of specific parts to help you like i said earlier, when a fault develops you most likely think the selling path.



RESALE VALUE:

The Big one of three.. From my findings about reselling these gadgets either to users or people at computer village, alaba or any tech resell joint China phones and tablets come last. I reiterate: A Big LAST. We get cases whereby a phone for about N15,000 would be getting lowball offers of N7,000 at best.That’s for the best and cleanest ones compared to other goods that would be getting N10,000 and around, every second with your phone costs more than the amount you would have supposedly saved.



So all in all, don’t go with that idea that the phone your getting is a bargain, wait a bit and get reactions from other users, then perhaps measure it with what you want. From personal experience, it’s a lot more painful the stress and headaches than the extra dough cough out for your gadget at the end of the day.

'Hidden facts' copy and paste no good............. Repent before it's too late

Anyway
Are you advising me to get Samsung Galaxy 6 or IPhone
The price of each phone would get me a piece of land in Ogun State
Remember the value of land appreciate while phone depreciates
A plot of land in 2015 @ #160k
Samsung Galaxy 6 in 2015 150+
IPhone 6 2015 170k
In 2025
The plot of land would be #5m
Samsung Galaxy 6 #8000
IPhone 6 #10000
Think and spend wisely
Remember vote for GEJ

Well said dude,but just that you need to remove that vote for GEJ and replace it with GMB,the real change

You don't understand. I mean I can use it continuously for 8 hours. Ordinarily it can last for 3 days without use

same thing am saying here

I'm always online round the clock and it lasts me more than that

This is an interesting topic, when you are saying china phones and original Phones the difference is not much if you are not familiar with androids OS you can hardly tell the difference. Itel, tecno, xtouch, gionee others products the only difference between them is that those of samsung, lg, htc, sony their chips set is higher and it compact with most HD and 3D party. But wait before we fight our self china android and the so called original they are all running linux kernel, no matter the apk files that run on S5 or S6 can still run on the china ones pls take time to ask ur self is't the product that is bad or the brand of the phone? The difference of them is that those one we called original are better in terms of graphic and HD acceleration. I have clone S4 and original S4 the difference is that the real one are just clear in video, graphic and run HD games well.

I have heard alot of people talk down on phone phones, today we X-ray top 5 china brands that are recognise worldwide and stand a chance to com-petite with any brands in the word

Note most of the critic of china phone goes for the sub standard
