Step 1: Why China-phone
This is a question for everybody who wants to buy a new smartphone
The best reason of a china-phone is:
they are better in all aspects in comparasing with other smartphone makers in price/hardware version
Step 2: Choosing the Criteria for the China-phone
how can you find the best chinaphone:
first: your price range:
lets say 250$ with shipping cost
8-core processor (almost all chinaphones are using this)
2-4GB ram
16GB storage
micro-sd card reader (MUST)
HD or FHD screen?
4G/LTE support (warning first look at all frequenties in your region and provider to see if it supports it, if it does not support this you can better look at another device)
Step 3: Selecting the Chinaphone
first you are going to make a list of the citeria
im using http://www.efox-shop.com/ since they have this tool to select features.
the citeria i named came out on this:
3GB
http://www.efox-shop.com/versand-aus-deutschland-h...
2GB
Step 4: Picking the Best (hardware)
Now you have a list of phones that fit in the criteria.
you are now going to compare their hardware specs.
i will be using 4 of the 3GB listed models to show how this works
the site im using is:
http://www.devicespecifications.com
the comparasing list:
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/...
the list shows all the hardware:
the points of interest are:
CPU/GPU
WIFI
CAMERA
NETWORKS
battery (wireless charging)
Step 5: Picking the Best
another thing to look for are the antutu-scores. this shows the phone's capabilites in comparasing with each other.
higher score is better phone
a good phone needs at leas a antutu of 380000
now you know wich of the phones has the best hardware
its time to look for reviews, reviews, reviews
it does not matter wich language it is. the reviews count
if the phone you picked has bad reviews like:
crashes by boot
boot sequence loop
bad battery
holding it in a specific way disables network
ect
------------------------------------
look for the other phone reviews of your list.
Step 6: Ordering the Phone
now is the question:
where can i buy it the best.
some shops:
now its time to look for the shop reviews
trustpilot is a good site to look for shop-reviews
the things that a shop need to have:
4-star ratings
tax-safe shippng method (if you have to pay taxes/vat they pay that amout back, just like dx/com)
some accesories like: case, tempered glas protector.
Step 7: Waiting for the Phone
now you have ordered it:
its time to wait.
based on the period when you buy it (hollidays, launch period)
the shipping time could vary between 1-3 months
Step 8: Wait, I Dont Have Playstore
well yeah this is the only downside of the phones.
most of the times this can be installed using a tool of the smartphone maker itself.
XDA developers is a great source for help in this aspect:

warning: always look for antutu scores:
do the test yourself and if the phone comes around 10000 short you have a countefeit
Step 9: Have Fun and Enjoy Your Phone for Years
now you have a cool phone with awsome specs, a fun name, great quality, and usable for many many years
