      bulbulito.bayagbag, 23 May 2023claiming they were “as good as Apple iPhones” -lol. A bold ... moreImagine if US had Apples, Pears, Bananas, Kiwifruit, Oranges Blueberries, Strawberries, Cherries and Rambutans etc all competing in the same country, bearing almost similar OS, functionality, price (or even cheaper), tie-ups with telcos, its mostly the big companies that keep the bigger part of the pie.
      Nothing new here.

                    Anonymous, 23 May 2023Those are totally mediocre, except for the "Ururu"... moreGree employee?

                      Gree is one of the best Air Conditioner producers out there. They hoped they can sell smartphones along side Air Conditioners since: You can control the AC with your Smartphone.
                      They thought the can sell smartphones just thanks to name itself
                      BUT
                      They spent 0 money on Phone manufacturing. They ONLY rebrenaded phones which already existed on market. They rebranded Oppo, Vivo, Doogee, Meizu and TLC. They didn't even make a single new phone and even if they did it was 99% components of other companies slapped with a back of a phone made from another company.
                      A lot of smartphone manufacturers do this. BUT They don't go after flagships like GREE did.

                        blue, 23 May 2023The best? Hardly, when there is Daikin, Samsung, LG and others...Those are totally mediocre, except for the "Ururu" series of Daikin, which is far more expensive than the Gree's

                          How sad to see Chinese brand exit the market you never heard about before, how sad 🤣

                                Anonymous, 22 May 2023Literally never heard of that company before.The best air conditioning manufacturer. But never knew they had smartphones too.

                                  Gree sounds unfamiliar as home appliances except air conditioner even it so rare compared with samsung, Lg, sharp and Daikin.
