15 new Asian smartphone makers hoping to crush Samsung and Apple

China

1. Xiaomi





This is perhaps the best known of any Asian startup, thanks to the fact that it’s already outselling Apple in China. Xiaomi plans to sell 60 million smartphones this year. Hiring ex-Google Android VP Hugo Barra last year stunned the world and signaled that it’s ready to explore new markets. What’s Xiaomi’s secret? Its smartphones sell for about half the price of Samsung’s and HTC’s flagship phones, yet the strength and versatility of its Android skin (called MIUI) makes them feel like top-quality products. Xiaomi keeps costs low by selling 70 percent of its phones online, and the rest via telco partners. It has no retail business to drain money. It also sells to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. It aims to roll out in more countries in Southeast Asia – the next stop will be Malaysia. And then it’ll tackle big markets like India. Xiaomi’s next continent will likely be South America.

I'm currently using the MI3 as replacement for my S4. It has nice ergonomics and build. Nindot sad siya ug interface. They just need to work on the OS kay buggy gamay then naa pa apps nga naay chinese characters (I like it, some people don't). I got it for 14K+ for the 64GB model, ang 16GB ra man to ako paliton kay 15K ra ako gibudget but because of the 17% tax rebate nahimong na sub 15K iyang price

Xiaomi, Coolpad, Oppo and Meizu are "chinaphones" nga di ka mauwaw ipagawas kuyog sa imong mga amigo naka Samsung, Sony, iPhone, etc. because of the build quality, form and what they pack under the hood.

In fact they already made a big damage to Samsung. That's why Samsung made a lot of lower end android phones (crappy specs) to combat these (price). For Apple, hmm. Apple will always be apple.
