Category: Wholesale Electronics & Cell Phones Reviews

In 2009 I posted an article introducing top China cell phones and it still receives a good number of hits now. It occurs to me that the information that post reveals has already been out of fashion as all of the once hot-selling cell phones listed there have already been kicked out of the market. You know, the mobile technology develops so fast that the old gadgets can never keep up in terms of features and performance.

I bought an iPhone 1 in 2007, which was the most advanced smartphone that year, but now I have to put it away in my desk drawer simply because it can not satisfy my needs for a mobile phone. The responsiveness becomes so slow compared to the latest mobile phones that I can’t bear it anymore. What is worse, it does not allow me to download those cool features from App store. Now I am using a popular Chinese cell phone called Xiaomi S2 and so far I have been completed pleased with it. Based on my own user experience, this made-in-China smartphone is not at all exterior than the US smartphone top brand Apple. For more detailed reviews of Xiaomi cell phones, please read here.

Besides Xiaomi, I know some other awesome made-in-China cell phones that will bring you great user experience, although I have to admit that there are also some poorly made Chinese cell phones mingled with the good ones for sale on both the Chinese domestic market and the global market. That is why I find it a necessity to share with interested parties about what the top made-in-China mobile phones are based on my knowledge. In early April, 2013, I’ve posted a few best-rated Android 4.0 and Android 4.1 Chinese cell phones for sale at various Chinese stores. Below you will find more cool Chinese mobile devices widely sought-after among global buyers. Hope the information can at least give you some sort of correct direction to finding good Chinese mobiles at reasonable prices.

This time I am not going to talk in detail about the features or specifications of the cell phones. Instead, I will simply list the 2013 top cell phones (in a random order) which are completely designed and manufactured by the Chinese and also tell you where you can get them as a foreign buyer. The websites mentioned below are all legitimate and tested so you don’t have to worry about encountering scams or rip-offs. However, as the Chinese online suppliers vary slightly or significantly in terms of capacities as well as service standards, I would suggest you read the detailed review of the website to ensure that you are trading with a Chinese seller you believe deserve your trust.

There are tons of shopping sites based in China that sell electronic gadgets like tablet PCs, cell phones or the accessories for them but only a small number of them are doing a good job in the arena of tablet PC accessories, or other gadget accessories.

As the most famous manufacturing hub of all kinds of electronics, China has a lot of online stores that offer wholesale electronics. In this post I am going to introduce some top wholesale electronics online shopping sites based in this country.

Before I talk about the names of the specific stores selling wholesale electronics, I would like to remind you that if you are looking for genuine name brand electronics, don’t consider China wholesale online shopping websites. Likewise, if any Chinese supplier tells you that he or she offers world renowned branded electronics like Apple iPad, chances are they are fakes. My advice is: when you see the price of a so-called name brand electronic gadget is too good to be true, don’t trust it. Then, what kinds of wholesale electronics are the best-selling on the China wholesale shopping websites? Made-in-China electronics that are designed and manufactured with popular features are definitely the bestsellers. Such products are generally advanced in features and functions while extremely cheap in pricing. Being good to use and easy to afford, these types of electronics are very popular among common consumers. With high re-sell margins, they are usually the best options among electronic store owners who purchase them for their inventories and then sell them at good prices.

However, top wholesale electronics online shopping sites don’t necessarily mean that they just target store owners or merchants. Now more and more individual consumers choose to purchase products from online wholesale stores, attracted by the great wholesale prices. It has become a fashion, actually. Likewise, most China wholesale stores that offer electronics accept retail orders – even if you buy one piece of item only, you will get an equally low wholesale price.

When it comes to shopping for wholesale electronics at China online stores, the first and foremost issue is security. You must first of all make sure that the stores you are going to buy electronics from are reliable and legit. Anyway, as this may require you to do a lot of research work, below I will list some of the trusted and top wholesale electronics online shopping sites located in China for your reference.

• Miniinthebox.com: When it comes to buying small electronic gadgets from China, Miininthebox.com is particularly worth checking out. Just as the domain name suggests, the site is doing very well in supplying gadgets that are small in both sizes and prices. Plus, their subsidiary relationship with the top Chinese international online retailer Lightinthebox.com further makes the site a good choice. When shopping with the site, you don’t need to worry about issues like security, returns, refunds or any other pre-sales and after-sales services. Just check out the catalogs, find out what you want, and then place the order. It rarely happens that you would be unsatisfied with the prices they offer.

• Focalprice.com: Based in Shenzhen, the professional electronic shopping site was founded by a genius Chinese young man who had made big money from selling electronic gadgets at eBay. They are experienced in sourcing the best quality consumer electronics from reliable manufacturers at best prices. As a result they are capable of offering the most competitive prices to their customers all around the world. They are not the biggest in the arena of Chinese electronic gadget foreign trading, but absolutely one of the fastest growing. There you can find a paradise of cool gadgets including Apple accessories, cell phones, tablets, car accessories and more.

Xiaomi S2 is a truly high-end smartphone designed and manufactured all by the Chinese. It is the currently best rated Chinese smartphone with an ever-growing fanbase across the country. As the latest model of the Xiaomi company, Xiaomi S2 has all the advanced features that are able to satisfy smartphone geeks who really want to get the best out of their phones: to shoot photos or videos, surf the internet, connect with the social networking worlds, access GPS, tag geo, map the destinations and to do lots more activities other than making phone calls or messaging. Users have been complimenting on the great performance of the gadget too. As a Xiaomi S2 user, I have to say that the gadget well exemplifies what I define as “a state-of-the-art Chinese smartphone”.

Xiaomi S2 is available in both 16GB and 32GB configurations. Not only is the storage larger with the 32GB version, the camera and video function is also better. Prices for the two versions vary by around ￥300 RMB (=about $30 USD). I chose the 16GB simply because they don’t have a 32GB version that fits the China Telecom mobile service, which I purchased as a service attached to my home telephone and networking package. If you ask me about my personal impression on Xiaomi S2, I have to admit that so far so good and I’ve fallen in love with it.
