The first and most attractive benefit of Chinese cell phones is that they are lower priced than their north-American counterparts. Many cell phones produced by Chinese cell phone manufacturers are absolutely loaded with features.
The Chinese cell phone manufacturers have made an art out of making look-alikes. They make phones that resemble name brand phones on the outside, but are most likely packed with many more features. Some features may have less quality, such as a lower resolution on the built-in camera, but with the many added features and the lower cost, they are sure to develop quite a following.
One of the Chinese clone phones that is gaining a lot of attention is the HIphone. As you may be able to guess from the name, it is a spin-off of Apple’s I-phone. It actually contains features that the I-phone doesn’t have. The shake and tilt features, allow you to shake the phone, forward or backward, to scroll through your media. Tilting the phone on it’s side tells the phone you want to go wide screen, and it responds astoundingly.
The Chinese manufacturers are leading the way into new technology that their North-American rivals have not yet tapped into. This is the use of dual sims in a single phone. The sim card is the little card you place into your phone in order to make use of a certain service providers service. If you want to switch your service provider, you generally have to buy a new sim.
The dual sim phones allow you to have two services on one phone. This allows you instead of carrying one phone for business and one for personal, to have both services on the same phone. Many people have wondered if this will allow actually answering two calls at one time on one phone.
That is another technological first that the Chinese manufacturers are bringing to fruition. That is the inclusion of two CPU’s in the same dual sim phone. This in fact allows you to answer two calls at one time. With a single CPU the calls come in on what is known as a first come first serve basis.
