Why is the once rampant "cottage phone" now rare?

Although many people may not admit it, shanzhai mobile phone was one of the mainstream mobile phone markets in China many years ago. At that time, the technology of domestic mobile phone companies was not as developed as it is now. And foreign brands such as Samsung and Apple are expensive, which makes shanzhai mobile phones become the mainstream for people to buy mobile phones for a period of time. Some cottage brands basically imitate some foreign brands in appearance and can sell well. It can be said that this satisfies the vanity of some people to some extent. Although they can't afford real brand-name mobile phones, they can buy fake mobile phones similar to brand-name mobile phones.

These low-key cottage phones don't have their own technology. They just get some sales by imitating the appearance of brand-name mobile phones. However, not all these mobile phones are sold in China, even in overseas markets. They are very popular in some poor countries because people in these poor countries can't afford brand-name mobile phones.

However, these cottage phones meet their needs and have many functions. Mainly it's very cheap. At that time, a real Nokia phone might cost 5,000 yuan, but a fake phone with the same appearance only needed 500 yuan. However, the reason why no one buys a fake mobile phone is simple. In the era of China's economic development and people's increasing affluence, many people can still buy several thousand yuan of mobile phones. In addition, many mobile phones also have their own low-end brand mobile phones. These low-end brand mobile phones can be bought for only 1000 to 2000 yuan.

Therefore, people no longer consider buying fake mobile phones without quality guarantee and warranty. However, the cottage mobile phone industry in China has not disappeared, but is still being produced and sold to some poor countries and regions. This is the best selling product there.
