its not really a problem, but with all these phones that have no "brand" name you never know what you get.
might be good, might be the worst crap.
and the small price difference is not worth the gamble imo.
good brands also include:
THL, TCL, iOcean, Elephone, UMI, Coolpad
you have to make some compromise in any case, as there is always something that could be better.
Some of the phones are full of chinese apps for example, some do not come with google play store installed, and so on.
you need to do a lot of research or simply spend more money.
if you do not need dual sim support you may also want to check for used non-chinese phones, there are good offers around.
