Not many of Chinese phones are well equipped with high quality features. In addition, many Chinese companies do not include waterproof or Corning Gorilla Glass to protect their phones from scratching. As a result, these smartphones seem to endure in harsh conditions badly and are easily broken down. Yet, many people still prefer Chinese handsets because of their budget price tag.

2. Stolen designs

It is obvious that products of famous phone makers such as Apple, Samsung or Sony usually come in stunning and premium designs. And some of Chinese smartphones has “based” on those designs so much that they somehow look alike. For example, the Elephone S7 is said to have the curved display resembling the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

And it would be serious problem if users store their important information like bank account. Recently, it is reported that some Chinese Android smartphones even send users’ data back to China.
