When we look for cheap mobile phones, many of us think of brands like Xiaomi, realme or vivo. These are 3 Chinese brands that have won the hearts and approval of Spanish users based on offering good quality at a good price. However, many times we find other Chinese mobile brands in stores like Amazon or Aliexpress that are not so well known and can generate doubts among customers.
We are referring to firms such as Oukitel, Blackview, Ulefone, Doogee that also take advantage of the Black Friday celebration to lower their prices even further and offer terminals below 100 euros.
If we search for information or images on Google of these phones, we will see that there are several similarities between the manufacturers. All of them have specialized in the field of rugged or off-road mobiles, offer a price that is difficult to match, sport huge batteries and have specialized in the import field.
Fortunately, they are all reliable brands. They do not aim to become the new Xiaomi but they have an interesting market niche and, of course, we should not confuse them with those brands that try to sneak fake phones through Wish.
Oukitel
The company behind Oukitel is Shenzhen Yunji Intelligent Technology Co., LTD . one of the many Chinese firms specializing in the sale of mobile devices that had its “boom” starting in 2015, when the brand focused on launching its own devices after collaborating with large brands such as BQ and Wolder , better known on this side of the world. puddle. It is one of the greatest exponents of the “made in china” product, without hiding from it.
Their devices may be more or less powerful but of course they are reliable and in addition to mobile phones they have marketed smartwatch and other technological items.
Ulefone
With the ULEFONE ARMOR all-terrain phones , characterized by offering maximum protection and attractive designs with military certificates, IP68 and IP69 together with long-lasting batteries; Being the best known models of the brand, we are talking about another Chinese brand specialized in selling cheap mobile phones online.
In this case, we are looking at the second manufacturer based in Shenzhen, with Shenzhen ulefone Technology Co., Ltd being the business group hidden behind the brand. It was founded in 2012 and has an online store in Spain that offers a 2-year guarantee, as is the case with products purchased on Amazon.
DOOGEE
Doogee was founded at the beginning of 2013 as a brand of one of the largest business groups in China, KVD, and they began to be known in our country as a result of the fact that a few years ago it was the official sponsor of Villareal Club de Fútbol for the season. 2014/15.
It has a headquarters in Shenzhen, like the rest of the Chinese manufacturers that appear in this article and sells its smartphones in about 50 different markets thanks to its online channel.
BlackView
Also with its origin in 2013, Blackview mobiles are characterized by their high resistance and their mid-range characteristics, with quite interesting features and very reasonable prices. In this case, the company is based in Hong-Kong and its presence, including Spain, spans more than 60 countries.
And others more
Elephone, Hafury, Cubot … These are other brands that also often appear in the “sponsored” corners of Amazon and that with the passing of time have enjoyed more or less popularity. We have the perfect example in Cubot , whose mobiles were quite sold through import stores before even the emergence of Xiaomi.
Elephone also has quite a following in our country. In fact, in 2018 the brand gained an interesting niche in our stores with the expansion of different online stores and its greater knowledge by the general public, such as AliExpress, Gearbest, or TinyDeal, casting the Elephone P8000 and P9000 as one of the best-selling models in these import stores.
Surely we will leave many in the pipeline but if you have doubts about a brand, you do not have to ask us about it in the comments of this same article.
