[Question] Best China Camera Phone?

[alexi1238]

So For my first china phone I bought a HDC galaxy note 3 clone (6582 version) and was pretty unimpressed with the camera that it had. Didn't look into it that much before I bought it and seeing and the camera is one of the features I deem most important, I was wondering which of the china phones have the best cameras on them.

potentially looking into getting another china phone with a good front facing camera (for the selfies ofcourse) and better back camera that is good in low-light situations and can auto focus mid-long range distance pictures. Oh and a fast shutter speed wouldnt hurt.

Chuck some recommendations at me (and some links of where to buy them if you got time)!

hi alexi,
what is your price range for this phone?

around 400 USD will get you a Lenovo Vibe Z K910, which has an absolutely AWESOME camera.

if the front facing camera is more important for you, the THL T100s might be a good choice for you - 13MP back AND front.

as where to buy - you should consider our sponsors

Just looked up some reviews and wow that lenovo phone looks pretty damn good! Didn't really want to go over 300 though but hey, that phone looks like it might be worth saving up for! cheers for the recommendation!

If you have any other phones you think I should take a look at let me know!

well if you want value for money i would recommend the iNew V3,
got mine today and i must say it is absolutely beautiful.
does have its downsides though, but the camera is most definitely not one of them... lol

yeah I was actually just looking into the inew v3 in the picture forums you have here, and for the price on it's head, it didnt look too bad!

how's the front facing cam on it (personal opinion)? is it heaps pixelated or not too bad?

and also are there many major downsides to it? Ive read/seen things about the nfc not being functional but that isnt a big deal (to me). will definitely take the phone into consideration

[linr76]

well i don't actually care about the front facing camera, as i probably never use it (probably because i do maybe 2-3 video calls a year).
its a 5 MP fixed focus shooter, so i would expect halfway decent pictures.
i do my selfies with the main camera, once you get used to that you'll get pretty amazing pictures ;)

the downsides are pretty much the battery ( though i have mine only today and cannot say much about that) 5 inch screen and a 1830mAh battery could lead to problems...
on mine the home button only really reliably works when the phone is placed on the table. dont care much about that though.
newer firmwares (mine is still running the "old" one) presumably fixed that.
NFC works 100% - all reports that say otherwise are related to the backplate not being seated correctly and the contacts not aligned. otg works also.

sure, its not an octacore phone, but the performance is good.
has only 1GB of RAM, if that bothers you.

for me, it has lots more on the plus side and a good price for what you get.

i would have bought the Lenovo if it had an SD-card slot...

After dealing with the battery life of this note 3 clone for about a month, I don't think it will bother me too much.

And as for specs, its the same as this note clone I'm currently using and I don't have a problem with it. Other than the camera that is constantly getting on my nerves!

But I do appreciate you taking the time out to help me decide on a next phone! I will look into getting it in the next couple of weeks and most likely from one of your sponsors since you've been a great help! thank you!

The only thing that might be a show stopper for you are the supported WCDMA frequencies. V3 supports depending on from which production either 850/2100 or 900/2100. Mine is 900/2100 but I am in Europe so that's actually good for me

xiaomi hong mi red rice has a samsung camera included that is told to be one of the best avalaible in this price range phones, the device is pretty goot in all aspects as people report, with quite a good autonomy also, 4.7 hd screen and mtk6889t processor

in my experience the best camera I have found in a chinese phone was in zopo 810, inew camera in interiors was not good for me at all

[foox2k]

Yes Sir. You're right. The Zopo 810 take really nice shots. Also I got the inew i3000 and inew i2000 and they also got some camera quality , sorry for my english im from Mexico .
