The best China Phone for a decent Price? - Android General

Hi Xda! :3 I'm Moon and would like to know if you know or own a Good China Android Phone? I have some requirements, I'm upgrading from an Nexus S. I would like it to atleast have
A 4.3 to 4.7 Inch screen with a Matching resolution.
1000MB of Ram or more.
Atleast a Dualcore CPU with 1.200Mhz And up,
The Internal Memory doesn't matter really. aslong as it has Micro SD Upgrade Possibilities.
A 1700mah Battery or more would be great!
All of that for about 160 Usd, Would it be possible?

Now is the best time to upgrade?

Has anyone noticed the jump from 512MB of ram to 1GB? I think now is the perfect time to upgrade. The RAM combined with the processor Specs are evolving quickly. But i think the amount of ram we see in android phones will bank at 1GB for a while. Until android apps find a way to fill up that memory. Even android tablets don't fully use 1GB of the RAM they have. This means customers will be satisfied for quite a while with 1GB of ram. and in return, longer upgrade lifetime. I honestly don't see android phones with 2GB of RAM coming soon so right now would be the perfect time.
And yes, processors may evolve but i think they aren't going to be much faster or have more cores until new battery technology is found that can pack 2-3 amps per battery.
In conclusion, Phones should stay at 1GB RAM and 1.5GHz Dual-Core for a while
What do you think?
I think the phone's are very good now and way better then the 1GZ and RAM phones, but I don't think they will stop at 2cores/1.5gz. I got my SGS2, becuase it was the first smart phone that I liked and it takes alot to make me pay 600 for a phone.
I would say that Smart phone will likely start to slow down a bit like PC have soon.

That's what i forgot to mention
Buying a phone with 2GB of ram is like buying a netbook.
Soon laptops/netbooks will meet the android phone
as soon as the Quad cores hits the streets you'll most likely see 2GB RAM and newer version of ICS 4.x that will use up all that memory
our phones are turning more and more into a portable PC

Any experience with Chinese octacore phones?

I'm hunting for a six-inch phablet at an affordable price, and I came across the THL T200/T200C (I think the only difference between them is the internal storage). It's an octacore with 2 gigs of RAM running Android 4.2 on a MTK6592W chip. DX have it for $270 shipped, approximately the equivalent of 200 euro, when the cheapest branded phablet I can find that's actually worth buying is the Huawei Mate, and that costs sixty euro more and has significantly lower-specced hardware.
I'm aware of the risks of buying off-brand phones, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try to reduce them however possible, so I'm looking for anyone with experience with the T200whatever or in general other octacore phones (which all seem off-brand so far; I can't see any branded ones on sale).
Are octacore processors actually faster? By which I mean, do the OS and apps know what to do with the additional four cores, or is it one of those features added just to increase a number?
If you have one or have used such a phone, can you share your general opinion?
Well, the thing with chinese Androids...
I'd say go for it, just root it and make a full backup as soon as you get it. The reason is because a lot of chinese phones/tablets have a nasty habit of falling into a bootloop for no reason. I've had it happen for several times. This way if you get into a bootloop you can boot into recovery, and restore your recovery. I recommend this for all Androids anyway, but especially for Chinese stuff.
I'd also recommend getting a SanDisk class 10 (or better, like UHS-1) micro SD card and following some generic android guides to swap the internal memory with your SanDisk SD card. So you can buy San Disk's 64GB UHS-1 Micro SD card for 60 bucks from BestBuy (Or even better, their 128GB UHS-1 Micro sd card from Amazon for 119 dollars, and yeah that's SanDisk selling it not a third-party.) This way you have ridiculous internal storage for a ridiculous price (in a different sense of the word "ridiculous").
I don't have any experience with octacore phones/tablets, but as far as I understand the architecture is like this.
2.4ghz dual core = 2.4ghz x 2
so I imagine it would be the same with eight cores.
2.4ghz octacore = 2.4ghz x 8
whether or not Android knows what to do with all that power is beyond me.

buying a chinese tablet help

ok so i dont really have much money and in here even chinese tablets are expensive and i really need a good tablet
anyway i went to some store and i found some good picks one is a dual core with 4gb of storage and 7inch screen but the store doesnt know how much ram it has ! anyway he let me try it and i played with it a little and it really seemed fast it should be more than 512 or 512mb ddr 3 is as fast as 1gb ddr2??
some people say tablets with ddr3 ram are better even if they are just 512
anyway another tablet is with 3g connection also a dual core but faster than the first one and has a newer android version though it doesnt differ with the price much
both tablets have are from enet anyone know if enet tablets are any good??
one guy told me that they write that they are dual core but that fact they are less than that
and another thing is that is there something i can do to know the real specs while im viewing them in the market ?? any fast code i can dail or something a internet page i can enter anything i just want to know exactly how good is the tablet i dont want to waste my money like this
and one more thing will chinese tablets stay alive too long with good care?? or they will all break down easily after time??

Hello, I'm selling tablet too~
can you please take a picture for the tablet?
But I dont think 512mb ddr3 fast as 1gb ddr 2, and I suggest you to buy a 3g tablet if the price not differ too much.
Most important, what you wan to use in this tablet? gaming? or just soical?
If can choose the one that can move app to external sd card,not internal sd card.
Can you please let me know the price of the tablet and where do you come from? thanks
Sry for my bad english

Isn't it a bit "old"? (so as the hardware)

i doubt you will find something newer unless its off brand crap.
i have a n6, and imo, its a great phone.
you want something new and big with great specs, i doubt its going to come in your price range.
there isnt a lot to choose from in the 6+ range from the reputable manufacturers. thats why i havent upgraded.
i pretty much upgrade whenever i want, and i have thought that the majority of phones i have had were great, but this is the first time i have like a phone so much i dont want to upgrade.

Question 6/128 or 8/256?

Hi there, i'm planning in buy the early bid of the poco x3 pro, but i can't decide what memory cut should i take. i plan to keep it with the stock firmware for at least a year, then jump on custom rom.
In your opinion wich version will have the higher support? should i really mind the 2gb of ram difference?
I think support will be the same, at least I never heard a ROM mentioning the RAM and memory size requirements for the same model (other specs). If you plan to create a lot of videos and edit them with Apps I would go for 8/256. The 256 Gb are UFS 3.1 which is a lot faster then 2.1 which other devices in this price range have and I have seen none with 8/256 so cheap as this device. Snapdragon 860 + 8/256 GB for me are the top specs at this price.
the 2gb of ram do really make some difference? i do not need the extra space, i just want a device "future proof", i have used my moto g5 plus for nearly 4 years, and i'm going to change it just because the battery and the usb plug are quite dead (changed already both)
I can tell you that no noticeable spee difference, but will prevent app reloading in the background. I went for the lower version and everything seems fine.
@surcof :
Save the few bucks for the 2 GB of RAM when you're not a heavy multitasker or use very memory intensive applications on your phone. 6 GB are pretty enough for Android in 2021 and surely for the 4 next years of use.
The 128 GB ROM are definately not worth the higher price because of the hybrid Slot of the device. For 50 € you can buy a fast highend SD-Card with more memory.
