This incident will surely ring loud for long in the minds of all those who forgo a device's quality, for a cheap price. It was probably this thought that cost a young Indian his life

Some people just can't understand the difference between quality (build and software) and quantity (features and price) ;).

sad :(

Also dont buy Indo-Chinese Phone like micromax, Karbonn, LAVA, Zen.... The reason is that they are chinese mobiles which have not been tested for their SAR value...its very dangerous and can have long term effect on the health of the users.

Using a phone with SAR value above 1.0 is not recommended.

Beware!!!

Now we got Chinise Mobile Problem again.

Well I guess we should have expected this. But well here we go. Now there is the news that Chinise mobiles have inbuilt malwares and spywares in their product which basically spy on us and send out info to China. Anyway I can't really back up my news with a link but I got a news in a Hindi Newspaper though.

Re: Now we got Chinise Mobile Problem again.

So sad to hear about that boy. My sis and mother used to say me that why I am buying a mobile costing 25K or 10K when I am getting those features at 3K now I have a proof to backup my point.

there are two types
A. "Made in China" (good) - seen in most of the branded devices such as Nokia,LG,Samsung etc
B. "Made in China" (bad) - seen in almost cheapo devices even a rs 10 toy in street...this is really bad

even my samsung mobile battery is made in china

Even if you look close to your motherboard you will find "Made In China" printed on it.

Not all the Chinese Made products are bad

Products that come out of OEMs and ok. Street Vendors selling items are not OK

I dont think so. Many news channels took coverage of it. Once a phone even exploded at a bank! It was a Chinese phone I think :p


Even the victims were interviewed by the channels!


All leading news paper covered it here. Govt. might have issued statement.
felt pretty legit here :confused:

Yes. The cheapest labor is available in China, that's why any reputed/big brand use their labor. Once my friend said, "What's the difference between hTC and a Chinese brand, they ultimately manufactured in China". I just looked, didn't say anything.
Moreover, I'll bash the users most over the brand. They are making cheap and sh!t phones, OK, but why do we buy it? Hmmm...I never understood :(
