Why used to be copycats everywhere, and now they are suddenly gone?
The reason is that copycat phones have lost their profit margins and naturally disappeared!However, it has not completely disappeared, and you can still see some mobile phones similar in appearance to Huawei, iPhone, Xiaomi, vivo, oppo and other mobile phones on e-commerce platforms such as a certain treasure, a certain Duoduo, and a certain east!
There wasn't much of a gap between the early copycats and branded phones.
At that time, copycat mobile phones were jokingly called miscellaneous mobile phones, wild mobile phones, ** mobile phones or high-imitation mobile phones, which usually referred to high-imitation mobile phones. They are given by the producer with their own brand name, mimicking the functionality and appearance of the brand's phone, and are only one-third the size of the brand's phone. More than a decade ago, copycat phones were very popular, they could achieve dual SIM dual standby, with various designs such as slide cover, flip cover, 360-degree rotating cover, etc., and supported a variety of operating systems. They can mimic any brand of phone. These various types of mobile phones are collectively referred to as copycats.
Entering the era of smartphones, factors such as configuration, photography, screen, and SoC performance come into play!Some mobile phones are like iPhone and Huawei and other brand mobile phones, such as a Huawei Mate60 mobile phone that costs five or six thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, while the mobile phone sold on the e-commerce platform only costs a few hundred yuan!
But after the actual purchase, it turned out that although the rear camera looks like there are three, there is actually only one available!The phone advertises a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series processor, but in fact it uses a low-spec processor such as MediaTek or UNISOC !Performance, camera capability, and on-screen visuals are all greatly compromised!Today's copycat machines have naturally lost the market because they cannot achieve the same cost performance at a low price!
However, there are still people who will be deceived on these e-commerce platforms, and the sales are quite high, only to find out that they have been deceived!It's really hard to understand why these e-commerce platforms allow these miscellaneous mobile phones to appear, and the sales have always existed, and they should be controlled!
When you find that Huawei, iPhone, Xiaomi and other mobile phones are unusually cheap on the e-commerce platform, buy them carefully, they may not be real brand products, and you may be deceived!Of course, with the improvement of consumption level, the smartphone market is saturated enough, and there are many offline stores of major mobile phone manufacturers, ranging from hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan, and the choices are very diverse!Brand mobile phones can be purchased in many places, and ** is not expensive, so naturally there is no market for copycats!
The early copycat machines were sold in many physical stores across the country, especially in places such as Electronic Street and Computer City. Nowadays, with the coverage of brand chain stores, direct stores of major mobile phone stores and stores of major mobile phone operators, they all sell brand mobile phones and dare not sell copycat phones anymore!
We know that in addition to mobile phone self-operated stores, offline Tmall stores, Jingdong stores, Suning, Gome, etc. also have mobile phone sales counters, China Mobile, Unicom, and Telecom also sell mobile phones, and they all sell **, brand mobile phones. Therefore, in the sales channel, the copycat machine has lost the opportunity and will naturally disappear!
