Chances are you probably haven’t heard the name ‘Changhong’ before, but the OEM from China seems to be high on confidence regardless of that; the company has launched a new phone which certainly looks overpriced to us.
The Changhong X6 that was just listed in China costs 2699 CNY/US$430, which is rather expensive for a MediaTek MT6595 phone. For reference, the Meizu MX4 with the same SoC was announced for just US$290 in China.
Gizchina News of the week
If you can, however, overlook the price, the device has some cool hardware on offer. The MediaTek MT6595 remains to be the mainstay, but other than that, there’s a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p display on the device, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB on-board ROM. It also has a 13 mega-pixel rear camera and a 5 mega-pixel front facing camera, all of which are powered by a 3350mAh battery.
If its any consolation, the Changhong X6 also has support for NFC (not that it justifies the price though). It isn’t particularly thin at 152 * 77 * 8.9mm; even if it were thinner than that, chances of it being available on reseller stores would’ve been bleak for people don’t usually spend around US$450 on a phone made by a rather unknown brand with specifications that don’t blow away the mind.

Just want people want an ugly overpriced phone from a brand no one has heard of. This or an MX4? Tough choice…
They’re unknown to the rest of the world maybe. But this is a phone for China, their turf.
Not like I disagree that it’s overpriced though.
Like I said in a comment below, they are one of the largest TV manufacturers in the world. But they are relatively unheard of as a smartphone OEM. Ford is one of the biggest car companies in the world, doesn’t mean they can make reliable airplanes.
What is important that their brand name is well known. Apple and Samsung were once not known for making phone but they were already big before that happen.
this shit…
It’s a well known electronics brand on the domestic chinese market.
i really don’t think it’s an unknown brand in china..
but more for tv than smartphone
It’s one of the largest TV manufacturers in China and they actually assemble most of the TV’s that get imported into the US/Europe from China. But they have little to no history making smartphones.

So why would anyone choose this over the MX4?

When a slimy-bodied, stringy-ropey garmented airy-fairy is offering its pheramoned self for bait to some passer-by, the airy-fairy is not out to snare the Hard-to-Comeby and Even-Harder-to-Relinquish, perpetually broke, averaged wage earner but to catch some Easy-Come, Easy-Go salivating Wild & Wanton ControlFreak-cum-AbandonedNutter. More so when that ârichâ dopey is thoroughly stoned. By anything, pleeze g_d.
What is wrong with âInfinitisersâ is not What They Sell but How they Sell. This is because when How They Sell works, what They Sell could then be anything and at any asking price and still, Patsy will say that, âEet Shore Ist A Gut Dealâ, Ja? Even after the stoning had long departed and the pockets have been thoroughly reliefed.
EVERY Thinking human is dual natured which is why we ALL need contrasting-elements/âTethered-Diamtericsâ within our behaviours to remain Sane/Balanced. For example, The Greedy must soon become Fearful or else Insanity will quickly onset. Similarly, The Angry must become Guilty or else the Control Freak will become âBiasedâ forever. That of being Insane and ripe for incarcerating in some Asylum for âquite some timeâ. In other words, when self is afflicted with The Duality of Nature, being control freakish must soon give way to becoming the abandoned nutter or else, in the case of a control freak, he will become constantly aggressive and right for a heart attack if nothing else. Or in the case of a abandoned nutter, he will become constantly depressive leading to âconstant suicidal feelingsâ â after the bouts of âhot flushesâ and âcrying for no good/real reasonâ.
As such, the sole aim of a Saviour[ship]/âHow You Sellâ is to gather Worship/Abandonment and little else. One reason why The Salvageables are always reminded of reality/Reality by constantly having âproblemsâ/moments-of-introspection like that constant itch, lack of money, troubled-relationships, and so forth. Without âContrasting Elementsâ, the dual natured human will become insane without realising so. This is why when the Lunatics are running The Asylum, everyone outside of that asylum is then the lunatic. How convenient of The Lunatics.
