Is buying a chinese phone risky???

ay bro it sounds kinda risky to me. u never kno what u gonna get frfr

some old nokia phones (20 yrs old ones) are still ok with outstanding battery life and perfect signal reception

If need top class of security , never use chinese product. Otherwise i think it doesn't matter much.

I had the Xiaomi Max2 at the start, i would do it again 100/100

It depends. But you should do some research work before that. Sometimes there is a bad surprise. Nothing is guaranteed even in other countries.

used mi phone for a month had good experience but too many pre installed apps and cant remove without rooting plus every app take too much space and permissions not comfortable giving access to personal stuff for apps i dont even use

they probably arent the best quality but if you just want a phone it is fine

chinese phones copy the worse of apple's iphones into the worst skins of android phones
i would avoid them at all costs (excluding oneplus phones)

If you buy a phone from China you must double check if they have Google services installed... It could be a huge trouble to live without google

You need to check the specs really well cause they may be cutting corners on things you didn't expect sometimes. For example when Lenovo bought Motorola, they made important omissions from Moto G (e.g. no compass anymore). Need to check the specs in gsmarena carefully.
