Eight Of the World's Top 12 Smartphone Vendors Are Based In China (digidip.net)

Posted by msmash on from the China's-dominance dept.

An anonymous reader writes: How serious and dangerous is China's offensive on Korean and Western mobile hardware brands? Extremely, according to research conducted between January and March by IC Insights, which predictably positioned Samsung and Apple atop the smartphone manufacturer hierarchy, only followed by a flurry of handheld vendors based in the Middle Kingdom. In fact, eight of the ten vendors that followed the two giants are Chinese. These OEMs are, in order of their market capture, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, ZTE, Lenovo, TCL, and Meizu.

    $10,000? That sounds like the most bullshitty claim I've heard in a long while.

    What I need is a phone that makes calls and MAYBE, the odd SMS. And you almost cannot buy that anymore

    Yes you can. There are many, many dumb phones available. You can buy one from Amazon for less than $20, including shipping. You can buy one off the shelf at Walmart.

    Am I alone?

    No, many people whine about non-existent problems. You are not alone.
