Fasttech.com: A Cool E-commerce Site Selling Cool Electronics and Gadgets at Cool Prices

The first glance at the homepage of Fasttech.com makes me fall in love with the site instantly. For me, simplicity means more. The initial impression tells me that this is a cool electronic company serving global customers. Then, by a closer investigation, I further confirm that my feeling about the site does not lie to me. Below I am going to share about my personal review of Fasttech based on research.

General Info

It is a legit online store of electronics and accessories with a business license registered in Hong Kong in April, 2012, operated by CLOUD COMMERCE SYSTEMS LIMITED. Although it leaves a Hong Kong office address at its website as its corporate mailing address, I seriously doubt it. I guess its head offices are actually situated in Shenzhen, just like many other Chinese international electronic shops do. Anyway, so far I haven’t got any evidence for that and I don’t think it is a big deal for customers.

Compared to its competitors, Fasttech.com seems to be more employees-oriented by offering its staff a pleasant workplace, attractive and fair welfares and equal development opportunities. Its office look so modern that I believe its staff should enjoy working there in such comfortable workplaces. From my point of view, only when a company cares about how its employees feel about the working environment, can it be a really cool corporation that will finally achieve success. I admire this quality very much, be honest.

Also, I am quite surprised to find how open and honest this Chinese online store is after reviewing its forum and the customer reviews. The moderators of its forum are not its internal staff but its international customers. Every thread is posted out there without any moderation. The customer reviews, likewise, contain all kinds of customer ratings and opinions instead of just good reviews.

Top China Cell Phone Brands and Online Suppliers

While world top mobile brands like Apple or Samsung are all the rage these years, made-in-China mobile phones are also being widely sought-after, winning the market share by advanced features and cost-effective prices. Every year countless merchants and individuals from all over the globe buy cheap cell phones from online Chinese suppliers directly. You know, the e-commerce technology has made international online shopping unprecedentedly easy and fast.

Be fair, even the top China cell phones can’t beat the big names in terms of performance but they are always in high demands around the world. Then why so many people buy China cell phones? The answer is simple: cell phones made in China are cheapest at price but equally rich in features. The up-to-date specifications like touch screen, WiFi, TV, dual-SIM, dual standby, 4-core CPU, transparent keyboard, quad-band etc can be easily found in the best China branded cell phones.

As a huge cell phone manufacturing base, China is no doubt the best cell phone sourcing marketplace. Seriously, when you get deeper into the China cell phone market, you will be often surprised by how awesome the cell phones are. Whether you are looking for wholesale China cell phones or just want to buy cheap made-in-China smartphones for personal needs, the Chinese international online market is a good choice. Below is a list of the top 10 China cell phone brands based on the catalogs carried by the most popular China-based online stores of electronics or more specifically of mobile phones:

Xiaomi
Huawei
Lenovo
Cubot
Zopo
Jiayu
Zte
Acer
Doogee
ThL

Of course, there are lots of other Chinese brands in smartphones to choose from, though their popularity may not be so widespread compared to the above ones, e.g. Freelander, Triton Note, Amoi, Apanda, Feiteng, Snowstorm, Star, Neken, iNew, FAEA, etc. Given so many great Chinese local brands in cell phones, I personally really won’t encourage you to go for iPhone clones like Sciphone. By spending the same money, you can get an equally good cell phone which won’t get you trapped in any legal problems. So why bother getting a replica phone? In practice, we can find a number of amazing Chinese cell phones without a brand. With the same good features and performance, such phones are even better than the clones, don’t you think so? At Lightinthebox.com, for instance, a few non-branded cell phone models are extremely hot-selling, overwhelmed by good customer reviews. The following 4.0-inch S8190 Android 4.2 touch screen cell phone has been among the bestsellers in the cell phone category at the site for quite a long time.
