Does this mean that no one else canmake normal smartphones? Based on the advertising and the assurances of the sellers, it seems that yes - there is nowhere else to look. But in fact, there are alternatives, and from a technical point of view they are very good, but you just don’t see them. For example, we took Motorola, packaged at the level of “Xiao Huawei”, to check whether “the non-Chinese are really not doing well, thank God” in the smartphone industry, or whether people are simply zombied by advertising and aggressive Chinese fanatics in the comments to reviews.

Let’s just now not to breed these your theories of “racial purity” with hints that Motorola has long been owned by Lenovo offal, which means it is considered a Chinese company. Everything is a bit more complicated.
First, a secret management techniqueLenovo is a familiar principle of “students live fun from session to session.” Until the time comes for financial reports, Motorola hangs somewhere in free swimming without any clear control from the Chinese and, as a result, an understandable course of development. Something is being collected there, but for whom and why - Jobs knows him.
Secondly, unlike Huawei and Honor, for example,who regularly re-label with each other and sell one smartphone under different names (Huawei Note 5T = Honor 20, Honor 20 Lite EAC = Huawei P30 Lite, etc.), Motorola and Lenovo do not produce “clones” between themselves, or at least partially common on the characteristics of smartphones.
Thirdly, Motorola has long ceased to beit was forgotten by the USA’s symbol in Europe and Russia, and China didn’t initially accept it under the pretext “yes, we have such good things and cars, and this is not even an iPhone - why do we need it?”
And the main sales of Motorola are in Mexico,Venezuela, Brazil and similar countries. And Latinos not only buy Moto phones (Chinese smartphones didn’t really get to this region, from competitors Nokia, which is HMD, and an expensive iPhone), but also work at Motorola, designing smartphones of the same brand for their beloved and other “bread” countries sales. In the break between football, coffee growing and participation in carnivals, you need to understand.
In general, if Moto is already “not the same”, then eitherotherwise, these are not Chinese mobile phones with a glued label, but exotic, albeit on all well-known components (American Snapdragon processor, Japanese Sony IMX camera modules, etc.).
The question, in general, is different - why smartphonesMotorola with normal characteristics and high-quality stuffing (you will not talk nonsense now that the Kirin 710 in Huawei is better than the Snapdragon 665 in Motorola?) Are less popular than the Chinese counterparts? Maybe we don’t know about something that needs to be taken into account when comparing Motorol with the Xiaomi and the Huawei? Something that is found only during prolonged testing, and not in the nameplate? We’ll check it now.
