1.Alcatel OneTouch/TCL:The formerly French phone maker was bought by Chinese television giant TCL in 2013, which re-branded it as Alcatel OneTouch.
2.Coolpad:Coolpad has actually been around since 1993, making white label devices for big operators like T-Mobile.
3.Gionee:You can’t fault Gionee for ambition. The Chinese firm sells around 25 million handsets a year compared to Samsung’s 400 million, but it still thinks it can be top five inside five years.
4.Huawei:It must be galling for Huawei to observe the unstoppable rise of its compatriot Xiaomi. By all logic, its should be Huawei sticking it to the world.
5.Lenovo:It’s hardly a new or unfamiliar name, but in 2013/14 Lenovo finally broke away from its PC roots to become recognized as a serious player in mobile.
6.OnePlus:It’s easy to characterise the new Chinese phone makers as unimaginative – a group that makes boring functional devices from identikit components. You can’t throw that at OnePlus – which is an independent spin-off of Oppo.
7.Oppo:So thin it can cut through a watermelon. That was the claim made for the Oppo R5 last year. The race to be the world’s skinniest was hotly contested, with both Vivo and Kazam making a claim on the territory.
8.Tecno:The major Chinese phone makers are all targeting Africa as the next great growth market for smartphones.
9.Xiaomi:Of all the new Chinese phone makers, Xiaomi is undoubtedly the biggest. The firm began flexing its muscles in 2013, hiring ex-Google Android VP Hugo Barra to spearhead its charge domestically and across Asia.
10.ZTE:The handset subsidiary of the giant ZTE Corporation is actually the US’s fourth biggest phone maker. It’s reached this point by making budget smartphones for all the major carriers – indeed, it’s the US’s second-largest supplier of prepaid devices.
