In 2016, the best Chinese smartphones are hugely popular. This is not surprising, because they are much cheaper than their European and American counterparts (although almost all smartphones today are made in China or nearby countries, but only representatives of certain brands are considered purely "Chinese").

But the characteristics are the same. Users think very simply - why overpay if there is a phone with the same characteristics, but half the price? And that makes sense.

Today we take a look at the TOP 10 best Chinese smartphones as of November 2016. This TOP includes those models that users themselves talk about most of all.

Some third-party sites and their reviews are irrelevant here. Before we start, let's say that this rating was compiled not by price and technical characteristics, but by popularity among users.

It took into account how much they talk about a particular model on different forums, how many users mention a particular smartphone in their posts and comments, as well as user ratings of various devices on market sites (like market.yandex.ua, hotline.ua and the like) ...

So, let's begin!

No. 10 HOMTOM HT17 Pro

Our review begins with the HOMTOM HT17 Pro, which was recently released. But this model was immediately recognized in the world of modern technology lovers.

Great modern smartphone with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, a 13 megapixel camera, a powerful processor and a 3000 mAh battery.

The battery is removable (most Chinese smartphones have a problem in the form of a non-removable battery and in the event of a breakdown it is very difficult to replace the battery yourself).

The 1.1GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor will keep your entire device running smoothly.

Other characteristics of this smartphone are as follows:

  • 16 GB of RAM and 2 GB of its own (there is an expansion slot up to 128 GB);
  • 2 SIM card;
  • the price is $ 92.

# 9 DOOGEE X5 Max Pro

This smartphone is slightly inferior to the HOMTOM HT17 Pro in many respects (the difference is quite small), but it has a more powerful 4000 mAh battery.

This handsome man is enough for several days of work without recharging. In addition, it has a more powerful processor - MediaTek MT6737. It also has 4 cores, but 1.3 GHz. This means that the device will run faster.

In our TOP 10 best Chinese smartphones of 2016, you definitely can't do without DOOGEE X5 Max Pro. True, many can be scared off by a little oldish design. HOMTOM looks a little better after all.

Other features:

  • screen diagonal - 5 inches;
  • 5 megapixel camera;
  • 16 GB of RAM (only 6 GB is available to the user) and 2 GB of its own (expansion slot only up to 32 GB);
  • IPS screen with a resolution of 1280x720;
  • pre-installed OS Android 6.0;
  • 2 SIM cards;
  • the price is $ 80.

No. 8 Elephone S3

More powerful, brighter, more memorable, more stylish than DOOGEE and HOMTOM, which opened our TOP. But the Elephone S3 has a weaker battery - only 2100 mAh.

If you are ready to donate this, be sure to pay attention to this model... It has an excellent 13 Mpix camera, a 5 Mpix front camera, at least twice as powerful processor (MediaTek MT6753 - 8 cores and 1.3 GHz) and more RAM (3 GB).

In addition, 16 GB of its own memory is also available here, but of which all 16 GB are available to the user. There is a reserve for system files. And the expansion slot is designed for 128 GB. In general, a great powerful thing for every day.

Other features:

  • screen diagonal - 5.2 inches (1920x1080 resolution), the same IPS screen;
  • metal case;
  • the price is $ 163.

No. 7 Meizu MX5

Then, in the summer of 2015, Meizu MX5 became a real killer of all state employees. The reason for this is that it had much higher specs than other phones at the same price point.

Only then began to come out all kinds of Xiaomi, OnePlus3 (which we will talk about today) and the like. There is not much talk about Meizu right now.

Interestingly, people began to pay attention to those models that came out simultaneously with the MX5, but at that time were in the shadow of the famous Meizu's glory.

We can safely say that the peak of popularity of the MX5 has already passed, and even a few months ago.

In any case, a very bright AMOLED (a proprietary development of SAMSUNG, thanks to which this company can wipe its nose to everyone else), a 5.5-inch diagonal, a 20.7 megapixel camera (!), An eight-core processor and other features of this smartphone simply shocked the world.

All of this works great for a whole day or more without any recharging thanks to the 3150 mAh battery.

One more nice feature became a special music chip NXP TFA9890, which makes the sound more rich and natural. In general, a real monster!

Other characteristics:

  • screen resolution 1920x1080;
  • metal case;
  • pre-installed Android system 5.0;
  • 2.2 MHz MediaTek Helio X10 Turbo processor;
  • 16 GB of its own and 3 GB of RAM;
  • the price is $ 230.

No. 6 LeEco Le Max 2

One of the modern giants continues our review. Diagonal LeEco Le Max 2 - 5.7 inches. At the same time, the screen resolution is 2560x1440, which is more than that of almost all smartphones from this list.

Moreover, at this phone really powerful camera - 21 megapixels and f / 2 aperture (the smaller the better). Very few modern models can boast of such an indicator. The front camera is here at 8 megapixels.

Among its additional functions, it is worth paying attention to optical stabilization and autofocus - you can take pictures even in a moving car.

The processor is a little not happy - 4 cores (2 at 2.15 GHz, 2 at 1.5 GHz) in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996. There could be more.

But a good 3100 mAh battery will keep the device running for several days. In general, if you like really big smartphones, be sure to pay attention to LeEco Le Max 2.

Other features:

  • the screen occupies almost the entire front panel - it looks very impressive;
  • 32 GB of internal memory (!);
  • 4 GB of RAM;
  • 2K Retina display;
  • in the case a combination of metal and plastic;
  • price - $ 305.

No. 5 Huawei Nexus 6P

Another excellent sturdy smartphone (this can be said for the reason that it has a metal body), which is also distinguished by its large size and, accordingly, high resolution.

The diagonal of the screen is 5.7 inches, and the resolution is 2560x1440. Here, by the way, there is also a very bright AMOLED (!) Screen - the picture on it looks completely different, it is more beautiful, natural and bright.

However, the main camera is lame. It has only 12.3 megapixels (it’s not very clear why exactly this amount) and, judging by the testimony of users, it shoots not as well as we would like.

But the Huawei Nexus 6P has a more powerful processor - Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 has 8 cores at 2 GHz each. The battery is also very good - 3450 mAh.

Features Huawei Nexus 6P:

  • Huawei corporate design;
  • 32 GB of internal memory;
  • 3 GB of RAM;
  • Corning Gorilla Glass 4 (shockproof);
  • preset system Android 6.0;
  • price - $ 425.

No. 4 ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini

Surely, the popularity of ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini is due to the simple fact that with a relatively small size (screen diagonal - 5 inches) this device has a very powerful processor.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 MSM8952 with 8 cores will be able to run the most demanding applications today.

In addition, there are as many as 64 GB of its own memory (many do not even understand how you can fill all this space). There is an expansion slot up to 200 GB (!).

All this is backed up by 3 GB of RAM. Very powerful indeed!

The phone looks very impressive too - the metal matte casing will look beautiful in any circumstances.

Other characteristics:

  • there is a fingerprint scanner;
  • pre-installed OS Android 5.1;
  • IPS screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080;
  • main camera at 16 megapixels and front camera at 8 megapixels;
  • price - $ 232.

# 3 OnePlus3

Here we are already talking about a real classic in the world of modern smartphones - 5.5 inches diagonal of the screen, a 16 MPix main camera, a quad-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 - 2 cores at 2.2 GHz and 2 at 1.6 GHz).

But there are a lot of nuances that make the OnePlus3 special and, by extension, so popular. For example, the corporate design and the aluminum body.

The camera here is taken from Sony (model IMX 298), it shoots really well.

Also here is an AMOLED screen (taken, of course, from SAMSUNG). There is as much as 6 GB of RAM (!), So 4 processor cores are more than compensated for - the device will work very quickly.

Other Features of OnePlus3:

  • built-in memory - 64 GB;
  • battery 3000 mAh;
  • special protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4;
  • screen resolution - 1920x1080;
  • Android 6.0 OS;
  • the price is $ 500.

# 2 Lenovo Vibe X3

A very unusual phone for Lenovo. It is unusual, first of all, for its design. There is something from HTC, something from OnePlus, a little from Meizu, in general, a very interesting combination.

The body is made of sturdy aluminum and plastic. The camera, in the best traditions of Chinese smartphones, is 21 megapixels. At the same time, it shoots worse than an 8 MPix camera for any SAMSUNG phone.

But there are many purely their own features. For example, Lenovo's proprietary three-microphone system is installed here, thanks to which the sound is clearer and more natural.

There is also an amplifier 3xTIOPA1612 also from Lenovo. By the way, there is also a fingerprint scanner from Meizu. In general, in Lenovo Vibe X3 brings together all the best from other smartphones.

Thanks to this, it is becoming more and more popular.

  • 3 GB of RAM;
  • IPS screen with a resolution of 1920x1080;
  • screen diagonal - 5.5 inches;
  • price - $ 421.

No. 1 Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

Undoubtedly, this is the most popular Chinese smartphone to date! Perhaps not only Chinese, but in principle, especially considering that the Pro version with 32 GB has recently been released.

Let's just say that it costs only 165 dollars (you will be surprised by this fact more than once, reading the specifications of this phone further).

So, this handsome man came out in the winter of 2016. The diagonal of its screen is 5.5 inches, the resolution is 1920x1080. So far, everything is standard, although at $ 165 it's pretty good.

The camera here is 13 megapixels (with an F / 2 matrix - it shoots well). There are also front-camera 5 MPix.

The processor here is Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 MSM8956 - 1.8 GHz six-core! RAM - 3 GB. And (attention!) A 4050 mAh battery. These are just gorgeous characteristics.

Moreover, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is constantly falling in price - at the beginning of sales, it cost about $ 250. Not surprisingly, this is the most popular Chinese.

Other features:

  • the body is made of a combination of metal and plastic;
  • there is a fingerprint scanner;
  • IPS screen;
  • preinstalled OS Android 5.1.

Below you can see the opinion of one of the users regarding what the TOP 10 Chinese smartphones look like in 2016.

More and more buyers are choosing smartphones from Chinese companies. And this is not surprising: Chinese smartphones are much cheaper, they have advanced technical characteristics and solid appearance, and their quality is getting better and better every year. We chose Top 10 best Chinese smartphones of 2016 according to estimated customer reviews.

The best Chinese smartphones of 2016

Rating of the best Chinese smartphones of 2016 compiled on the basis of estimated customer reviews on the largest marketplaces and online stores. For each smartphone, an "average rating" is calculated - an average score based on a 100-point system. Models with few reviews are excluded from the rating. Below are the Top 10 best Chinese smartphones according to buyers' estimates:


1 92.8 (757 ratings)
2 91.6 (64 ratings)
3 91.4 (80 ratings)
4 90.5 (324 ratings)
5 89.4 (150 ratings)
6 88.7 (86 ratings)
7 87.5 (315 ratings)
8 87.1 (229 ratings)
9 87.0 (71 ratings)
10 84.4 (243 ratings)

The highest customer ratings were for the products of Xiaomi, four smartphones of this company got into the top ten of the best smartphones, including the first. The eternal rival in the face of Meizu has noticeably lost ground over the year and let Huawei and ASUS go ahead, failing to get into the top five.

Let's take a closer look at the TOP 3 best Chinese smartphones at the end of 2016:

1st place - (rating 92.8)

Best Chinese Smartphone 2016 by Buyers

OS version: Android 5.1 | Screen: 5.5 "1920x1080 | Camera: 16 MP | CPU: Snapdragon 650 (6 cores, 1800 MHz) | RAM: 3 GB | Battery: 4050 mAh

It seems that Xiaomi has managed to firmly win the hearts of domestic buyers. is not only the most popular Chinese smartphone of 2016, but also the most highly rated by users. Just think: the average smartphone score on a 100-point system was 92.8 points based on 757 customer reviews. This is an incredibly high result given so many reviews, and fully justified.

If we look at the specifications of the device, we see a typical flagship smartphone two years ago. The device has a high-quality 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a good camera, a fairly powerful Qualcomm processor and a battery with a capacity of more than 4000 mAh (for comparison, most modern flagships have batteries with a capacity of no more than 3000 mAh). Moreover, this did not affect the design of the smartphone in any way - its thickness is 8.65 mm, a metal case and a fingerprint scanner are included.

The smartphone has recently released a sequel (), but the new product is more expensive and its ratings are slightly worse, so Redmi Note 3 Pro is still the most popular Chinese smartphone in 2016.

2nd place - (rating 91.6)

Beautiful and fast smartphone from ASUS

OS version: Android 6.0 | Screen: 5.5 "1920x1080 | Camera: 16 MP | CPU: Snapdragon 625 (8 cores, 2000 MHz) | RAM: 4 GB | Battery: 3000 mAh

This smartphone from the Taiwanese manufacturer, ASUS, stands out for its premium design and quality assembly. The smartphone has 4 GB of RAM and is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 625 chipset, designed for mid-range smartphones. Enough performance to run any games from Play Market... Despite the 3000 mAh battery, which cannot be called a record by today's standards, the battery life is good - on average, the smartphone's battery lasts one and a half to two days.

The smartphone camera is one of the best in the class, it has optical image stabilization and very fast autofocus. A fingerprint scanner is present. is an excellent mid-range smartphone that will delight the owner with an expensive appearance, good performance and a high-quality camera.

3rd place - (rating 91.4)

Lite version of the flagship Huawei P9 line

OS version: Android 6.0 | Screen: 5.2 "1920x1080 | Camera: 13 MP | CPU: HiSilicon Kirin 650 (8 cores, 2000 MHz) | RAM: 2 GB | Battery: 3000 mAh

A lighter version of the flagship P9 line, but it is more correct to compare it with last year's P8 Lite. The novelty has a much better screen, a more powerful processor, and a more capacious battery. For 16-18 thousand rubles, you will get a tightly knocked down middle-class smartphone, without any obvious drawbacks. The body of the lite version is simpler than that of the flagship, but the smartphone looks very solid - matte metal edges with beveled edges and a thickness of only 7.5 mm.

Huawei has installed an excellent screen in its smartphone, clear, with good color reproduction and viewing angles. The fingerprint scanner works not only for unlocking, but also as a touch panel (for example, you can flip through photos), this is a proprietary Huawei chip. If you are looking for a good mid-range smartphone, but 5.5-inch smartphones are too big for you, we advise you to pay attention to this model. Thanks to the 5.2-inch screen, the device has a more comfortable size and fits well in the hand.

Dear readers, today we present to your attention the best Chinese smartphones of 2017. I think there is no need to explain why we dedicated such a rating of the TOP-10 best phones to devices from the Middle Kingdom. Chinese companies have grown from second-rate handicraft manufacturers to giant holdings and pioneers in many areas in recent years.

Numerous companies with enviable regularity present to the market one novelty after another, creating the highest competition, which, in the end, gives us budget smartphones with decent characteristics, as well as flagship solutions at affordable prices.

We decided to split the TOP 10 best Chinese smartphones of 2017 into two equal parts:

  1. hit first quality phones, the price of which is within 10,000 rubles, and in general terms they fall under the definition of a budgetary device;
  2. in the second, flagship solutions from manufacturers from China were identified.

So, we believe that none of the readers will leave without a new smartphone.

Budget best Chinese smartphones for up to 10,000 rubles - rating from the site

Well, let's start with the best budget Chinese smartphones that are incredibly popular. In the TOP-10 rating of 2017, we included a couple of phones that already boast high sales, and several more models are new items on the market, but will undoubtedly become hits. Let's start!

Oukitel U 15 Pro is the best budget Chinese smartphone with 3 GB of RAM

Oukitel is, as you may have heard, a third tier company. Why did her devices make it into the best Chinese smartphones? The manufacturer, despite the opinion of many experts, is not going to stay at the bottom of the market for a long time, almost every month, presenting a new smartphone.

The company cannot yet boast of "fancy" flagships with the best "hardware", but it has presented a lot of fairly high-quality budget devices. There is one very cheap representative of Oukitel C 5 Pro, which for 3,500 rubles (seller's price) sports 4G support and 2 GB of RAM. There is also a long-lived smartphone Oukitel K 6000 Pro, which provides up to 4 days of battery life.

However, we picked something in between - the Oukitel U15 Pro. A new Chinese smartphone that began selling late last year. As befits a good budget employee, the U15 Pro attracted users with its affordable price, which is complemented by good specs. The smartphone is all-metal, surpasses many competitors in this price segment in terms of memory volume - we have royal 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM for an inexpensive device.

Few characteristics:

  • Android 6.0
  • Chip: MTK6753
  • Display: 5.5 ”, HD
  • Memory capacity: 3 + 32GB
  • Cameras: 16 + 5 MP (interpolation)
  • Battery: 3000mAh

Those who are not familiar with modern Chinese technology may be surprised by the high build quality of the Oukitel U15 Pro: strong metal, durable glass and good ergonomics. In the hands of a smartphone, it feels like not a cheap craft. The screen is really good, even if it has not acquired a FullHD resolution: rich colors, wide viewing angles and a good oleophobic coating.

The processor is from MidiaTek and it is considered to be a budget solution for the lower segment, but there are no problems with launching games, which is largely possible thanks to 3 GB of RAM. The camera modules are not of the flagship level, but in normal lighting the pictures are decent. I would like a more capacious battery, but this is enough for two or three days.

Oukitel U 15 Pro sellers on AliExpress and other sites offer for purchase for about 6500-7000 rubles and, believe me, there are not so many smartphones with similar characteristics in this price range.

Ulefone Power 2 - new from China with a large battery

Ulefone is a company that is a lot like Oukitel. Its products are still referred to the third echelon, but in the near future this may change, given the pace at which it develops new devices. Recently Ulefone showed a new model Power 2, key feature which became a 6050 mAh battery. And the rest of the characteristics are quite impressive: here and 4 GB of "RAM", and the current version of Android, and a fast fingerprint scanner.

Few characteristics:

  • Android 7.0
  • Chip: MTK6750T
  • Display: 5.5 ”, FullHD
  • Memory capacity: 4 + 64GB
  • Cameras: 16 + 8 MP
  • Battery: 6050mAh

Ulefone Power 2 received an all-metal case, on which only two thin plastic inserts stand out to amplify the signal. The smartphone is assembled well, it feels heavy and expensive in the hand. The processor is MTK6750T - a fairly productive representative of the line of 8-core chips from MediaTek, although there are not enough stars from the sky. But the amount of RAM is really good. 4 GB is enough for absolutely any task. Ulefone Power 2 also has a lot of permanent memory - 64 GB.

The smartphone is equipped with a good 5.5-inch screen, which covers high-quality glass using 2.5D technology. FullHD resolution provides a high-quality picture with no visible pixels. Under the screen we have a physical button with a built-in fingerprint scanner. Ulefone Power 2 received Android 7.0, which even some flagships will envy. The highlight of the novelty, like its predecessor, is a capacious 6050 mAh battery. The manufacturer promises at least 4 days of battery life with active use.

Ulefone Power 2 undoubtedly deserves attention, which is why it got into our ranking of the TOP 10 best Chinese smartphones of 2017. The model can offer good autonomy, an up-to-date version of the OS, as well as productive hardware. The sales of the phone started quite recently, and the cost is around 10,000 rubles.

Meizu U 10 is the most beautiful budget smartphone from China

The Chinese company Meizu has been delighting users with high-quality and inexpensive smartphones, which regularly fall into various ratings of the best, for several years. Today, the U10 model is quite popular, which for little money is ready to offer a premium design and good performance. The model stands out against the background of analogs with a glass case, which is complemented by a metal frame. Meizu U10 looks stylish and expensive.

Few characteristics:

  • Android 6.0
  • Chip: MT6750
  • Display: 5 ", HD
  • Memory capacity: 2/3 + 16 / 32GB
  • Cameras: 13 + 5MP
  • Battery: 2760mAh
