>>52555816
Since they basically steal all their technology, there are no R&D costs that have to be passed on to consumers. There's also the fact that their government has absolutely no environmental laws or worker protection laws, so they get to take advantage of near-slave labor and being able to dump their toxic waste into the nearest convenient well.

TL/DR: Fuck off, you China shill bastard.

No you stupid bitch, the Chinese sure as shit charge foreign companies impact fees and most domestic companies at least make the pretext of sourcing factories that don't exploit workers.

We use them because it's still cheaper than opening factories here, but the Chinese government definitely gives the home field advantage to their own local companies.

Just because you're a technology illiterate retard that screams in terror when you see a CLI doesn't mean everyone is.

Root/bootloader is widely supported on any phone with a large brand behind it, OnePlus, Meizu, XiaoMi, etc.
All versions of Android get every security updates as long as Google Play is updated.
International versions exist for nearly every flasgship and even non flasgship models.

Unfair to compare Chinese phones to iPhones but as far as other Android phones are concerned, the major brands are only as expensive as they are because of brand names.

iPhones do have a ridiculous markup for what they actually cost to produce, but they are at least quality phones with high quality, optimised software and good support. iPhones are expensive but they do generally last a lot longer than your average Android phone.

This. My old Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 was supposed to get the official KitKat upgrade but in the end, Samsung just gave up on it and only rolled it out to a few carrier branded American models of the device.

They did roll it out to the GT-I9305 but it was still down to the carriers whether or not they wanted to roll it out to their customers, some of which never did.

What really annoyed me as well was that community support for the device completely dropped after KitKat for some reason, I think Samsung bribed ROM devs into not supporting the phone because I can't think of a single reason why one of the most popular phones ever made never got the Lollipop upgrade from any noteworthy ROM devs, the device was perfectly capable of running Lollipop.

When a new version of android comes out the chipset manufacturers have to make it possible for it to work on it. After they get the chipset working they maybe have to fix the binary blobs also to get sound or graphics working on the newer kernel.

You're only harping on about Apple because it's a convenient bogeyman for you.

You'll conveniently ignore that main perpetrators of such Asian companies, especially Samsung who are essentially slave labor in a 'western influenced' nation.
You'll also ignore that both Apple and Google are actively trying to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US where there is higher oversight.

Keep being jaded about everything that isn't a race-to-the-bottom slave labor product though.

No, they make all those capacitors, diodes, resisters and other chips in China as well.

Otherwise they would have said "manufactured in USA" instead of just "assembled in USA".
The cases are also manufactured in China, absolutely no proof in the video that they aren't and you can catch Asians around them during that phase of the video but they specifically don't show them clearly.

About 20,000 people paid $5 for a crowdfunding to receive a $50 credit towards ordering their new phone the P9000, and nobody's coupon codes are working.

Originally the crowdfunding codes were to be valid from January 15-31, the presale never went live and they kept everyone in the dark until earlier this week when an email was sent out saying it would start Thursday 1/21 at 3PM GMT.

The pre-sale went live, sort of. They have a form on their homepage where you must validate the code that was purchased, then use a new generated code that is only valid for ONE online retailer to preorder the phone. And judging by the customer responses so far none of the retailers are accepting any codes, some list the phone as out of stock and don't allow pre-orders. Some don't use PayPal or even ship all over the world.

This company is literally defrauding tens of thousands of people because they promised a phone that's great and inexpensive. Their facebook and twitter is full of pissed off customers.
