Is buying a chinese phone risky???

I bought chinese phone to my wife few years ago... She was very satisfied, i forgot brand but i pait it around 80$. At that time it has 1GB Ram, Hd screen.

I don't see any reason to not buy a Chinese phone.

don't buy a Chinese phone. to many vulnerabilitys for government hackers to exploit. the NSA is watching you.

I use my phone for just the basics so it does the job, things always get dropped and damages so the cheaper the better for me. Don't really do much on a phone anyway so don't care about privacy so much. Use my PC for everything/

Yes it is. Please buy a famous one, Samsung or iPhone you know

It is as much a risk as buying a iphone i think.. why it would be different?

They have been reported to take in lot of information without consent. Most apps including Google, Facebook take every info anyways. If you think China taking your data over USA will do any more harm, dont buy chinese

Products made in China are pretty good nowadays, but it depends if you want to trade freedom for a good deal.

Most of pones are serving unwanted activates for some government

I think its risky to buy chinese mobiles in security point of view. I personally wouldn't go for chinese mobiles.
