Now many made-in-China cell phones are equipped with the Android 4.0 or Android 4.1 OS. Though it is hard to judge whether the mobile device is advanced or not simply by the OS it uses, we can at least be assured that phones supporting the higher-level Android 4.0 or Android 4.1 OS allow us to download lots of trendy applications. Of course, the actual performance can vary significantly depending on the specific features and capacities. Here are some of the best Android 4.0 and Android 4.1 China cell phones available at Chinese sites:

If you are looking for a high-end Android smartphone with the most advanced features, this Newsmy NM890 5.0″ phone is worth consideration. Though it is a little more expensive than the phone mentioned above, it is better in terms of performance as well as features. Here are the major differences:
Just take a look at the detailed review posted by one real user of the Newsmy NM890 cell phone:
“I was very pleasantly surprised at how good the phone is, it comes with 1 screen protector. It has Google play installed. The phone is not rooted. AnTuTu v3.2.1 benchmarked at 12328 with a 32GB micro sdhc class 4 card installed. Everything works well, phone is very responsive, screen is a pleasure to look at. Every app I have installed has run without problems. There is no lag when running multiple apps. The camera works well but pictures in dark are a little grainy, zoom is done using finger pinch it also has panoramic mode. The 3 major gripes I have are: (1) Does not sync with Google, I have tried a lot of things to get it to sync but it just won’t, yet it will sync with hotmail. (2) The wifi signal is somewhat weak and sometimes drops out. But this could just be my particular phone that has a problem. (3) The other thing it does not seem to do is a system update, it keeps saying “network connection failed” I will be contacting Focalprice with these 3 problems for advice”

This F918 smartphone uses the advanced Android 4.1.2 OS so that users can download plenty of wonderful applications. In addition, it has most of the widely sought-after functions like dual-SIM or dual-standby, dual-camera, WiFi, Bluetooth or gravity sensor. However, when it comes to made-in-China smart phones, lower prices usually mean less on something. Its primary camera is less impressive with only 5MP and the TF card capacity it supports is up to 16GB only. Anyway, if you do not care about such features, this Chinese Android phone should be a good choice especially when considering its attractive value. See more details of the smartphone >>
