wOw so cheap….. maybe too cheap, i dont think it will be that popular, i know people love to show off their expensive mobile phones…seems this one doesnt fit the bill
Unless it looks like the real thing, then people won’t be able to tell the difference.
I like IOrange better anyways
CHEEEEAP! I like the real ones better, the new version of iPhone that is already out in the US and Canada (i live in Canada) If this Hiphone Nano was out there in the US, it’d be the cheapest thing ever and obviously no one would wanna buy it cuz the iPhone is much better…and looks better too
I think Chinese phones have very good exciting features which the western phones do not have. The greatest challenge though is around quality issues. I think if China can have a strong regulator towards manufacturing of these phones the industry can do even better. I have a very stable one from Sakhumzantsi but they seem to have a very strong selection procedure for the phones they sell.
This blog helped me explain this subject to my son. Thanks
