We’ll be giving out the list of the most popular smartphones in China in 2015 both local and international made. China is the 4th largest country in the world with a population of exactly 1, 401, 586, 000 (and still counting), by a statistics report earlier this year. And there are 980.6 million of smartphone users in the country as of today. China is as great as their Walls and is considered a giant when it comes to mass production of goods, electronics, furniture, toys, and now they are dominating the advanced world of smartphones. You can easily spot a ‘China Phone’, with the humongous display screen, vivid display colors, HD camera features, and the outer case of it is most likely made of plastic. Do not underestimate the power of a locally made in China smartphone, most of them are for heavy duty, yet they are cheap.
Affordable smartphones are what the consumer world is trying to find. We can’t just buy a really sophisticated phone without knowing its pros and cons even if we can afford it. It’s important to know what its capabilities are, in other words it should be “smart”. We have seen Nokia and the partnership between Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola, and Samsung and LG square off on the global market to have the title of the best phone producer in the world or in a particular country. In the modern era, the world sees Apple and Samsung battling in having the best smartphone produced. But really, the question is, are any of these big international brands made it on the top of our list? We’ll soon find out.
If we have a list of the most popular smartphones in the world, we better provide you as well the trendiest smartphones in China so here they are:
11. Xiaomi Redmi Note
The Xiaomi Redmi Note is one of the pocket-friendly phablets in Asia today, but with its 13MP camera and a powerful Octa- core MediaTek chip, this one surely will go for a blast. Xiaomi Redmi Note offers a user-friendly interface and a lively display yet the back of this phone feels awkwardly oily after a prolonged use, what can we expect, it’s plastic like anything else you can find in China.

10. Huawei Ascend Mate 7
As Huawei’s flagship phone, the Ascend Mate 7 makes the enthusiasts silent with its display size of 6 inches, advanced processor, 13MP of a rear camera and its long battery life. I don’t think there would be any questions with this smartphone anymore. Almost everything is guaranteed to be possible in using this smartphone.

9. IUNI U3
Battery’s always a huge problem with smartphones. The usual lifetime of a smartphone performing on an average level is either within the day or even less. IUNI U3 ensures that there is enough gas left in the tank when it performs in beast mode. Besides being one of the best value for the money, a 3GB of RAM also could be enjoyed when expecting for max potentials of an awesome smartphone like this.

8. UMi Hammer
When it comes to a great physique of a smartphone, put in UMi Hammer to the discussion and its physique will do the talking. It has proven that design can be a way of telling how much this smartphone can perform at an average rate. However, it is not really that powerful enough to play games and multi-task with your apps, but still can manage tough performance or what a typical consumer finds.

7. Asus Zenfone 2 and Zenfone 2 ZE551ML
From the success of the Zenfone 2, comes with its beastly child. The Zenfone 2 ZE551ML is a better version of the Zenfone 2, having the excellent qualities of a camera unit already makes a name for itself. Perhaps the ‘not-so-into-tech-stuff’ people would mind looking at the physical aspect to judge its inner qualities. The Zenfone 2’s outer shell already explains how much powerful this smartphone can be.

5. Meizu MX4 Pro
A smartphone is always prone to invaders. It is important that not just the usual features are looked upon on. For Meizu, its first-rate performing factor is the fingerprint scanner. Looking at the different smartphones around the market, this is the most pocket-friendly in terms of security features than having an iPhone or any of the Samsung S-series or Note-series, since that most Chinese consumers want a lesser price yet similar performance.

4. iPhone (5, 5s, 6, 6-plus)
Releasing of locally-made smartphones in China are trendy in the local market. However, international standards, of course, won’t certainly agree to be out of the equation. Apple, perhaps is the most successful producer of smartphones of this era. Not only due to their yearly release of a flagship phone like iPhone 5s in 2013 and iPhone 6 and 6-plus last September, but also to the updates they give to consumers for the better usage of their products, as far as performance is concerned. The iPhone has already made a legendary name for its camera and music playing; surely these are features to be looked out for more improvement for the next generations to come. The best so far from the years that iPhone is on the market’s top is the growth in memory capacity. Remarkably, they have already phased out the 8GB minimum capacity and increased it to 16GB upon the release of the iPhone 5. Currently, the maximum memory for this smartphone is 128GB – and that’s for the 6-plus. It is indeed, for the Chinese people who believe in the old saying of, “the more, the merrier”. Regardless of its price, China will surely have the iPhone retained for a few more years to come just as long as China retains its status in having the second best economy in the world. Concluding its performance on a scale of 10 (10 being the highest), most will give out either a 9.8 or a perfect score.
3. Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro
Besides having Lenovo being a global competitor, the local popularity of this smartphone arouses the taste of tech enthusiasts with its HD screen measuring 6 inches, 7.7mm body made of metal and a Snapdragon 801 processor with a speed of at least 2.5GHz. A breakthrough in performance, particularly in entertainment applications, is a guaranteed monster alongside a larger screen than most of the smartphones available.

2. Oppo Find 7
Perhaps the majority of people. when finding the right smartphone, will look on the following: internal storage, entertainment apps, camera apps, and social media apps. Well, not all smartphones get that “A+” quality of taking photos and videos, but with the Oppo Find 7, tables turn. This smartphone provides a roar by having a Snapdragon 801 system chip that provides more quality mobile gaming and camera or video shots. Just to prove that it’s one of the legit quality smartphones out there, it’s better compared with the Samsung S5.

1. Xiaomi Mi Note Pro
Xiaomi, the leading smartphone producer in China tops the list of the most popular smartphones in China. Despite rival, Apple, enjoying the success of their latest iPhone release in China, most consumers are still looking for a phone similar to what Apple has to offer but with a pocket-friendly price. Xiaomi has surpassed Apple with just a minimal share. Looking forward to what the local producer has to offer, they have recently released the Mi Note Pro. Having a display size of 5.7 inches, the demand for this smartphone will definitely grow since most consumers are asking for one with a larger display. Being powered by the latest Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, this smartphone will definitely hit the local Chinese market and maybe sometime, the global market. The best similar comparison would be the iPhone 6 with its beauty as a powerful beast on the inside.
