Made in China - Counterfeit Mobile Popularity in Pakistan
Entering a famous mobile phone market in Karachi,I am greeted by the usual sight of sleek and trendy mobile phones.They all are of famous brand based in Finland.Upon closer inspection,the phone`s lines and touch-screen keyboard are unmistakably familiar."Nckia" is the logo on the back.But wait a minute,a sales clerk at the shop admits "This is not the Nokia E71,it`s Chinese version of Nokia E71".
Youngsters and other replica mobile customers don`t care about reliability and quality.Quality and reliability fly out of the window when they check their pockets for cash.
Another interesting thing is that counterfeit mobile is available in market much before the arrival of genuine stuff.These Chinese manufacturers are amazing.All they ask is to provide them with a sample of what we want?which features we`d like and they out comes the copy of real mobile phones.
Chinese handsets of different brands are available from Rupees 2000 to 15000,depending on variety and quality.The number of Chinese brands is more than 50 which are usually imported but there are some 15 brands that captured local markets.Middle and lower class customers who are mostly attracted by these handsets,which cost much lesser than the original.
Some Chinese brands are equipped with poor battery.However dealers gradually importing good quality mobile phones from same country that lead to a staggering spike in sales.Sharp mega pixel camera and improved memory capacity also added its popularity among customers so they easily purchase Chinese replica mobiles.One-year warranty offered on more than 5000 rupees handsets.
I have been in love with iPhone ever since it was released but expensive price tag,i never afford one not even in my dreams.But couple of days back,my friend bought Chinese iPhone for 8000 rupees and now i am thinking for getting one for myself.China has finally made my dream come true.
One last thing,Are you familiar with something called Hi-Phone?it`s an exact replica of iPhone with touchscreen,keyboard and apple logo but all at less than half of genuine iPhone.Hi-Phone is just one obvious example of counterfeit propensity toward creating exact replicas of mobile phones on planet.
