China-made gadgets vs. Original Brands

While it is true that our modern world demands a lot from the new generation of consumers, many people still looks for a cheaper alternative considering the fall of the global economy.

Nowadays people are finding more ways to spend less but still hoping to get the same satisfaction they would feel if they bought the original. Of course, this is far from possible since: "Nothing beats the original."

To feed the growing number of demands of consumers who could not afford the greatest quality of media available, our good techie friends from China came with ideas to imitate popular brands (even the appearance of the gadgets being copied from). True enough, it became a hit in the country considering most of the masses cannot afford to buy something out-of-budget.

China-made gadgets like phones , digital cameras, and mp3 players offer almost the same perks as the original ones--even more. But the downfall of it is the quality of the product. Most people say one factor that China plays it big in the world market today is because they believe in quantity over quality. Believing that their products would be able to reach many customers in a short period of time. This may be effective but the quality may suffer. Say among 10 China made phones half of the count may break easily because of poor quality.

China-made products are cool don't get me wrong I just think it would be much better if they claim their own and not imitate other brands so they could make a name for themselves and not just settle for the tag "imitation" whenever China-made gadgets come to mind.
