    The gullible sheeple who purchase over-marketed, sub-par "selfie" phones wouldnt know that they are getting robbed blind, even if the robber is the very company who is making that selfie happen. #robberselfiefilter

      xXoXx, 28 Apr 2017My honest opinion about Huawei is: They made really good, e... moreHuawei phones are good but any other Chinese brands, nah. It doesn't feel secure at all. That is why I'm never buying these Chinese phones. I'm sticking to premium brands except for Samsung, overpriced laggy craps. Chinese phone lovers will surely attack me for this.

          I think it is more of a reflection of Chinese more wanting to support local brands and obviously great bang for the buck. The majority of people finally realise they don't need to spend their 2-months salary for an iPhone.

                AnonD-621147, 28 Apr 2017Every oppo and Vivo phone I've ever owned all sported snapd... moreya ya ya they have 2 devices like that ... but the thing is that other phones made by same company are just overpriced crap... they base their marketing on selfie cameras and i can agree that some ppl dont need performance but dude their camera is best only on paper... i think that if xiaomi go with global sale including india us and my europe they gonna crush oppo and vivo and i can bet that iphone and sammy (i dont like them but im not hater im an LG fanboy but LG batteries? ahhh true story is that i dont know why im still loyal to LG ) so for me and my opinion is oppo and vivo are just overpriced except Xplay series but Xplay is hard to get even on their markets otutside (like in seribia where i come from ) its impossible to get ... Not even in germany where i try to get one just to have xp with it to see if it's worth... for me only Xplay is worth one but also on paper couse i didnt touch the phone myself

                      AnonD-621147, 28 Apr 2017You should definitely try a flagship Vivo phone before you ... moreThe problem is that the performance to price ratio does not seem justified. If the price will give you the flagship phones then I might as well go with Samsung or Huawei instead. At least I am certain that they have aftersales support that I can rely to in case of device troubles.

                        [deleted post]In India, people mostly tend to buy phones from offline stores. That's because of service and warranty-related issues which might arise overtime, so that we can directly approach the seller. Btw the premium phones from samsung and apple are mostly priced about 40% more than US prices, nothing to do with 'tech-savviness'. Maybe you'll see some jump after a year when iPhones will be made in India and priced at par with US. I personally haven't spotted anyone having Oppo and Vivo.

                            Here's how, what I was saying in the January of this year, begins to take shape in front of you. THE TRUTH he's trying to hide Samsung, Apple ... etc...he can not keep quiet for a long time. From statistical, financial data, etc. picked me from major private institutions that do not sell for "Two Dollars / Euros, to get receive plubicity" from Samsung, Apple, etc...they begin to make public the true, not dazed data.
                            I'm glad that small smartphone makers are starting to get big problems with these giants Samsung, Apple.
                            Soon, for those who want to know the truth about the S8 smartphone, and not the ones told by the paid ones, to advertise for Samsung, they will learn from me the real REALITY about how this phone behaves. So will I do for Iphone 8 from Apple, when it will be produced.

                              CAMAROMANIAC3, 28 Apr 2017I get why Huawei is popular. But how the hell does Oppo and... moreProbably because of their crazy advertisements for their selfie camera quality. A lot of people, unlike us, dont really care about speed or battery life as long as they can take good selfies :( And i believe thats the winning recipe of oppo and vivo

I used it along with my Vivo xplay 3s at the time. Although I found that fun touch OS ran more smoothly and offered better experience, the mate had a better build quality and looked beautiful.

No plastic on those babies. Either 1080p or 2k super amoled, curved or not curved. 4 to 6 GB ram with buttery Smooth OS. Are you sure that we are talking about the same companies?

                                        Oppo and Vivo on the list is..... Sad..... To be honest. We need more smartphone knowledge awareness. They sell helio p10 for CNY 2600, or sell midrangers with 2500mah batteries in 2016. Actually it's xiaomi's equal fault. Make your phones available xiaomi! What are you doing. Only company continuously backing small form factor and big batteries.
