Americans have heard a lot about Chinese-made smartphones over the years. Mostly the word going around was not favorable. Chinese smartphones couldn’t match the phones made in the United States or other countries like South Korean in quality or looks. But now it appears that’s all yesterday’s news. Chinese manufacturers have caught up to the rest of the world. In fact, in a 2014 poll of smartphone critics and users, two of the top five were Chinese brands.
Things change fast in the world of smartphone technology and customer favorites. Last year’s, or even last month’s favorites, could be replaced by newcomers in an instant.
