    I came across a non branded android phone and I am interested to hear what your opinions of it are and if it represents good value or not. One customer that had bought the phone suggested that it was on par with their Galaxy SII.
    I would usually not even consider buying such a phone... ie non branded but I am going to research this one and see how it goes.

    The spec is as follows:

    Operating System: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
    Hardware Chipset: MTK6575
    Core CPU: 1GHz ARM CortexTM‐A9
    RAM: 512 MB
    Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G.
    4.3 inch Capacitive Screen with Resolution of 960 * 540
    5 point Multi Touch
    Micro SD card slot supporting up to a 16gb card
    2000 mAh battery with 72hrs Standby-time and 4hrs Talk-time
    8mb camera
    0.3mb front camera
    GPS
    Proximity sensor
    Orientation sensor
    Magnetic field sensor

    12 month warranty

    My 2c is I don't like that bit. I think the S2 has 1GB.
    I had a HTC Sensation until recently. That used to go laggy when the RAM was close to being full (that had 756Mb).
    That could have been HTCs fault for all I know though.

    The S2 did have 1gb ram.
    The S1 has 512Mb Ram and it's quick enough altho that is using CM9 and not stock Roms.

    OP, I would find out as much info on this as I could. Is there a community for this type of phone where custom ROMS are available. If it's some poor stock rom on it it won't matter how much ram are on it it'll be slow and nowt you can do about it.

    I'd sooner go for the Huawei over the no-name Chinese phone. You'll be a lot happier with the Huawei.

    Wouldn't touch a non branded Chinese anything for that matter.
