3. Zopo AP100 Pilot
The Zopo Pilot is a $190 smartphone from Zopo who actually make OEM phones for a rather larger international PC maker. The ZP100 Pilot might not have the same specs as other phones on this list, but for a lower cost phone it’s still a great buy.
Why the Zopo ZP100 Pilot?
The Zopo ZP100 Pilot offers a single core MT6575 CPU running at 1GHZ with 512MB RAM, which most of you are going to consider too little in this day and age, but what the ZP100 lacks in power it will make up in battery life and quality.
Highlight’s of the Zopo Zp100 Pilot include it’s 4.3 inch screen which has a resolution of 960 x 540 and is manufactured by Japanese electronics giant Sharp and the Sony manufactured 5 mega-pixel rear camera.
Anything bad?
The price is a little high and it’s not that stylish.
Bottom line
If your first priority is quality and customer service go for the Zopo ZP100, if performance is king then look elsewhere.
Where can I buy the Zopo ZP100 Pilot?
The Zopo ZP100 pilot is on sale now over at the ZopoMobile shope.
A good offer to choose from.
Great analysis, Andy. I only have one major qualm with china androids: low resolution sharpness. Is there any way of doing a top 10 for resolution sharpness vis-a-vis the htc and apples of this world?
§ btw, light-years is a measure of distance not time. Common mistake 🙂
Andi i think u missed Huawei G500 pro aka u8836d its d best of all of them & now only $260 something. I got 1 & its huawei
I’ve always said (despite the copycat style of Chinese manufacturers) that they really are GREAT at designing and released reasonably priced products that are as good as, and in some cases better – then the branded versions of similar products from the big manufacturers. On 3 year contracts it’s hard to find a phone here in Canada that is under $200.00 All of these you can buy and own outright!
It’s a shame none of the phones that you listed are widely available outside China, and probably difficult to get inside as well.
Pointless…

lol…all these phones except the zopo are on backorder or presale….
hey look, it’s a top-10 buyer’s guide for phones that can’t be bought… love how it was unnecessarily split into 10 pages as well.
Hey Andi,
What about the Amoi 820? It looks an exceptional phone as well.
What do you think?
Freelander I10 and Newman N1 is the same phones! just called differently!
Is it possible to get “Flyme OS” on other android phones other than the Meizu MX?
The reason I’m asking this Is, because I found an almost 1:1 Meizu MX dual core clone running Android 4.0. I’m thinking about purchasing it, as long as I can get Flyme OS on it.
Are any of these phones for sale right now without the problem of waiting weeks-months to receive it?
Andi, towards the Christmas season you should create an article on good affordable phones/tablets thats available now without the long waits.
Just a suggestion of mines, but I think that would be a good article.

Nice article, you should write an article about websites for foreign people to buy phones from. Taxes, Customs, other useful info. I guess it might be tricky writing about a site though and then it’s a fake / dodgy site. But still, would be good just to list all the above phones then say 10 sites and price on each site hyperlinked with a disclaimer – do your own research on if this company will stuff you over.

What about the Thl W3+? it has the same specifications as the JiaYu G3 but is available right now! Price is a little above $200 but not that much.
Yeah, what’s about this phone? Nice specs,good looking,good price,but you never mention anything about THL W3+. Why?

I wish Zopo would release a Zopo ZP100 Pilot+. It was always my favourite Zopo phone.

Are the native apps in English or Chinese ? and does the handset get shipped WITH play store app and WITHOUT the chinese apps like weibo, GO Market etc
Andi why you wrote about Newman N1 “don’t pay more than $160, as it isn’t the best quality phone in the world!”? Now it cost about 180-190$, could you describe its quality? What is better deal in simmilar size phones? What do you think about Umi x1 quality?
