The Uprise of Chinese Phones in India

“Dhoom machale dhoom machale” , I turned my back and saw a guy holding a phone and this loud noise which was having the maximum of maximum treble pierced into my ears and made me feel like kicking that guy.
The following day I got to know that the phone that guy was using was a ‘CHINESE’ phone. Yes a Chinese phone, these were gaining popularity in the rural areas and mostly with the rural youth. These phones come at a very cheap price and are specially made for the people who cannot afford branded cell phones.

The Indian markets are flooded with these “Chinese/Korean/God knows what” else phones despite a ban as these phones do not have an IMEI number. The government banned these phones because of some security reasons.

From a rickshaw wala to a vegetable vendor to village businessman, everyone has a Chinese phone in his hands are proud to have that asset.

Not only these phones are cheap but they also provide features like MP3 player, camera, FM and what not at a rate where you can’t even imagine of buying a NOKIA or a SAMSUNG phone.

I once even saw a Chinese phone with 5 in built speakers and if you put it on full volume, you will surely wake your neighbours up in shock and amusement.

Among teenagers, the craze for having a personal phone has crossed the limits and at times people forget that possessing a banned substance (read Chinese phones) may land them in trouble.

As per TOI, a man in Gujrat died of electrocution as he was calling from hi s Chinese phone while it was on charging mode. So you can imagine the danger which comes with these phones. Buy original and quality mobile phones which are 100% credible not the Chinese phones which come without any guarantee and are a threat to national security.
