At the end of 2017 we showed you a list of Chinese mobiles that wanted to reign in the low cost segment. Among some of the strengths of these devices, we found the appearance of their own customization layers that were intended to give some more identity to those models that, until recently, had been characterized by containing unstable operating systems in many cases that could greatly cloud the end result and use of terminals.
The modifications of the most used interfaces in the world, especially Android, carried out by a multitude of Asian technology companies seem to be an added value if they are carried out with care. Today we are going to show you a list of five phablets to keep in mind that among their main attractions, they have these variations of the green robot ecosystem. Will they be solvent alternatives that can arouse the interest of those who are looking for something different, or will they simply incorporate some aesthetic changes that will not have a greater impact?
1.Oppo F5
We open this list of Chinese mobiles with a terminal that can currently be considered one of Oppo's flagships. The customization layer for this model is Color OS 3.2, inspired in nougat but that shows significant changes with respect to this and the predecessors of Color such as, for example, a saving of resources that, in theory, is close to 25%, a faster opening time of functions such as galleries, a more accelerated data processing and highlighting above all of them, a time of app installation 40% lower.
Applications appear on the desktop depending on how we use them. Among other features of this phablet we see a multi-touch screen of 6 inches with FHD + resolution, 20 and 16 Mpx cameras, RAM which can range from 4 and 6 GB and a maximum storage of 256. Its price can range between 240 and 400 euros approximately depending on the version chosen.
2.Gionee P8 Max
We continue with another terminal that could be another of the crown jewels of your firm, Gionee. This is the P8 Max, which is built around Amigo 3.2. This layer of customization is articulated around two main axes: Saving the battery and resources of the device itself, and on the other, the mode of split screen, which allows you to simultaneously run videos and applications at the same time. This improvement is mainly focused on the use of social networks and other entertainment tools. Focused on the mid-range, this phablet is completed with features such as a screen of 5,5 inches with Corning Gorilla Glass, a 3 GB RAM with an initial memory of 32, a processor manufactured by Mediatek that has frequencies of 1,5 Ghz, and a fast charging technology.
3. High-end Chinese phones: Honor View 10
Third, we show you another of the most prominent media in recent times from the Huawei subsidiary. This device is focused on the upper segment, since it is around the $500. Among its features we find a 6 GB RAM, a storage of 128, two rear cameras of 20 and 16 Mpx and a 5,99-inch screen with 18: 9 format.
However, the reason it makes this list is its customization layer EMUI 8, which inspired by Oreo, has these strengths: Different power saving modes, a system that allows you to continue playing if we receive unexpected calls or notifications and above all, its artificial intelligence. Through this last element, the phone can, according to its designers, anticipate what resources and apps we will use at any given time, prioritize those that are most executed and also offer instant translations of texts in other languages.
4. OnePlus 5
As we are seeing, most of the Chinese mobiles that we are showing you are terminals from firms that have gained weight in recent times. In fourth place we see one of the last bets of OnePlus. Released several months ago, this phablet revolves around Oxygen OS. Among the characteristics of this layer of personalization we find the «Reading mode«, Which optimizes the screen with changes such as the brightness of the diagonal to be able to read books on it more clearly, the« modeDo not bother«, Which is very similar to that of EMUI 8 and which allows us to block messages and calls while we are playing games, and a file blocking and protection system through Secure Box. This feature allows us to store the contents and access them only with our fingerprint or a password.
5. LeEco Le Pro 3
We close this list with the one that could be the cheapest of the 5 mobiles that we have shown you. On sale for about 140 euros, the strong point of this phablet is its RAM, 4 GB. To this, an initial storage of 32 is added, a 5,5-inch screen with FHD resolution, and a rear camera of 16 Mpx to which is added another front of 8. Its processor, a Snapdragon, reaches frequencies of 2,15 , XNUMX Ghz. However, the most striking thing about this model is its customization layer, EUI, based on Android Marshmallow and that according to its developers, has a marked ecological component thanks to functions such as saving resources and optimizing loads.
