Chinese mobiles are usually synonymous with high quality price

Chinese mobiles are mostly characterized by having a fairly loaded software , with a colorful customization layer and a multitude of settings . Most of these Chinese mobiles are compatible with Google services and are not very different in operation from those of other brands, although this year there has been a major change with the Trump government's veto. Huawei has been affected and its latest flagship, the Mate 30 Pro, is not compatible with Google Play . A change that does not apply to the rest but can set a precedent for the future.
Here we leave you with our selection of 17 mobile phones of Chinese brands , the best models of some of the most important Android manufacturers. We will find from super complete flagships to very popular and recommended mid-range models . All of them mobile that represent the best of each house.

All the chosen models have a great value for money and add the latest generation components to their range. We have decided to group them by brand, although without a specific order. These are our recommended for this 2019.

Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro

The Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro is one of the great phones of the year in quality-price and a complete enough model to compete against the Mi 9 , the flagship of the company. It stands out for its 6.39-inch AMOLED panel without a notch on the screen, since the front camera is periscope type.
Inside is the Snapdragon 855 processor along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while for the photographic section it is committed to a combination of triple camera, with a main sensor of 48 megapixels accompanied by one for the wide angle and another for telephoto.

The experience with the performance is good, the fluency dominates and the captive construction , has some buts like the quality of the audio and the photography that does not reach the best models, but without a doubt it is one of the most recommended Chinese mobiles of the year.

In addition to betting on a huge amount of megapixels, it is also a mobile with five cameras . The main sensor, two telephoto sensors, a wide angle and a macro sensor.

The Mate 30 Pro is Huawei's big challenge . Due to the Trump veto, the Mate 30 arrive with Android but without Google services . This means that despite being before a flagship with all of the law, we do not have access to such basic applications as Google Maps, Gmail or YouTube.

The great Huawei mobile arrives with some technical characteristics of infarction, placing it among the best mobiles of the year. We found a 6.53-inch AMOLED curved panel and QuadHD + resolution, a 7 nanometer Kirin 990 processor, 4,500 mAh battery with 40W fast charge and a four camera system with two 40 megapixel sensors, an ultra wide angle and a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens.

Huawei P30 Lite
From the Huawei P30 Lite we said that at first glance it was difficult to differentiate it from its older brothers . We are facing a mid-range with triple camera, Kirin 710, fast loading and a very light and stylized design. The latter is a key point, since while most of its rivals bet on a somewhat thicker and heavier design, this P30 Lite is designed for those users who reward maneuverability.

Vivo is one of the manufacturers that is committed to a more extreme design and the Vivo Nex 3 is a good example. With a 6.89-inch screen, the Vivo Nex 3 eliminates the physical side buttons and bets everything on touch control, betting on pressure controls. If we also add the Snapdragon 855+ processor, up to 12GB of RAM, 4,500 mAh battery and a triple rear camera, we are facing one of the most striking Chinese mobiles.

Which Chinese mobile fits more to what you are looking for

Last year we said that "recommending a Chinese mobile now is much easier than not a while ago . " And in 2019 this is still very valid. Even more, because the truth is that manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi or OPPO are leading the innovation in mobile technology and coping with such established brands as Apple or Samsung.

The competition continues to level up and fortunately we have very competitive mobiles in virtually all price ranges. Mobile phones that not only go fast, they also offer a good battery, they have high-level components and their photographic section is more than decent for the needs of many.
That said, let's see what kind of Chinese mobile might be interesting depending on what you are looking for:

Do you want the best high-end mobile with the latest technology?

If the price is not your concern and you want access to the most modern with the best photography and the most powerful processors, then our recommendation would go for a OnePlus 7T Pro or a Huawei P30 Pro, two high-end smartphones with an outstanding experience in almost All sections. We also find other options such as the Honor 20 Pro or the Mate 30 Pro, although the latter with the particularity that we already know.

Are you looking for a mobile phone with the best features but at a reasonable price?

If what you are looking for is to invest a reasonable amount for a good mobile but without reaching so much money, then you also have several options. Here the two big flagships of reduced price are the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and the Realme X2 Pro, possibly the two best options today in terms of quality price. In the case that you are looking for something more affordable, there are also the standard versions of these same two models or for example the Xiaomi Mi A3, a very competitive terminal for those who do not want to spend more than 150 euros.

Do you want a different, original or outstanding Chinese mobile in a specific aspect?

Among the Chinese mobiles on the list, the most original are possibly the most specialized models. We find for example the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, the Nubia Z20 or the Vivo Nex 3. Also gaming models such as the ASUS ROG Phone 2 or the Black Shark 2 Pro. And it is that the Chinese brands have no qualms about experimenting with mobile phones that move away enough of the established.
