Android USB drivers are a necessary tool in your PC and Mac. They act as a bridge between your mobile device and your PC helping them to interact and communicate. The USB drivers help in connecting our phones to your computer and performing tasks like transferring photos and other data. Generic p35 pro is another trending android phone nowadays. Its a new brand, so their android phones are so cheap as they are still hustling to reach more customers. Some of the specs are - 6gb ram 128gb ROM, version 9.1, 4800 mah, 16mp back camera, 9core - over octa core phone. Improvements and fixes. This update includes a fix for an incorrect device driver (“Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM - 5.2.5326.4762”) that was released by a third-party on March 8, 2017 that affected a small group of users with USB connected phones or other media devices that rely on Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).

Mobile Phones especially from China.. Commonly known as “China Mobile” have made HUGE inroads into the hearts & Hands of the Indian Consumer (Read Cheap, affordable & LOUD ).

Now there are SO MANY Companies like: FLY, LEMON, JAIPAN, MICROMAX, that make “Branded” mobiles, which in reality have their manufacturing done in China.

There are OTHER Chinese Handsets too.. That differ widely & wildly in looks.. but somehow give a poor impression when used. I am not writing this post to criticize China Mobiles. Rather this post is about how to get more out of your “China Mobile”.

ALL the Chinese handsets somehow have TWO Basic Modes of Connecting with your Desktop PC.:

1) Mass Storage Connection

2) COM Port Connection

Psst: Some have Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), Web-Cam connection too.. but these are irrelevant for THIS Post & hence I am not going to dwell on those.

Before I proceed ahead, I would like to briefly explain the TWO Connection Protocols mentioned above:

1) Mass Storage: When you Connect your Phone WITH Mass Storage ENABLED, your Phone Acts as a Pen / Flash Drive, with your Memory Card being accessed as a Flash Media for Storing or retrieving Data, Just like you would on a Flash / Pen Drive. This is the Simplest way to Copy-Paste data to & from your Mobile Phone. Data Like: Photos, Pictures, Files.

TIP: To use your Mobile Phone as a Flash-Drive is NOT Recommended, BUT, if you simply MUST use it… Then MAKE SURE you create a SEPARATE Folder. something Like: MASS, PEN_DRIVE etc… The name should be different from normal nomenclature like: Received, Inbox, Other, Audio etc. This Will help the phone DIFFERENTIATE your GENERAL Folder & will not confuse itself & go Bonkers!

Psst: This Connection will NOT help you Connect your Phone to the PC For “Synching”!

2) COM Port:

Normally a COM Port looks like THIS:

So you would immediately ask My Phone Connects to a USB… Then where does THIS Port come into Picture!. Well… This is a bit tricky.. as the Phone DOES Connect to a USB Port.. BUT there is Software Emulation & COM Port “Virtualization”.. In Simple words.. the COM Port Connection Protocol EMULATES the Behaviour as a COM Port.. While Being Connected to a USB Port.

Please do not ask WHY. It’s just the way it does happen so just read ahead.

WHAT you will NEED:

1) Your Phone

2) Data-Cable / USB Cable: Surprisingly most of the Phones have a simple Mini-USB Data Cable.. Very handy & commonly available.

3) USB Port on PC (If you don’t know what USB is.. then I guess.. this post is not for you.)

So.. now the Connection jargon is out-of the way… let’s move onto the ACTUAL Connection of Phone WITH the PC.

When you CONNECT your phone to PC a Dialogue Box Pops-Up on your Phone similar to the one shown Below:

You HAVE to Select “COM Port”.

Once you have Done that & if you are on Windows 7.. All the relevant Drivers should be installed.. In Case they are not.. The file that your Will Download HAS all the Drivers (except 64 Bit.. But the Best Part is Windows 7 [x32/x64] AUTO-INSTALLS the Drivers!)

Once Driver Installation is Done Right-Click My Computer—>Properties—> Device Manager

Now UNDER Ports (COM & LPT), you will see something similar.. The Point of Importance is the COMXX… In my Case it is COM16.. Your’s might be different.

TIP: As a Cautionary measure REMOVE ALL Peripherals other than the Phone (except Keyboard & Mouse).. This will make investigation a LOT EASIER.

AFTER you have noted-down the COM Port… Fire-up the PC-Suite OR as it is Officially called, PC-Sync Manager.

Go to Settings Tab & make Sure the COM Port is as per the one noted-down earlier.. i.e. For Me… its COM16

THAT’S It!!

The Phone is now Connected to the PC & ready to be “Synched”! As a final confirmation.. you should have VISUAL CONFIRMATION in the Form of Icon visible in the Lower-Right-Hand Corner:

FROM: To THIS

NOW… Go one-by-one to the Tabs of Phone-Book, Messages… etc & Save your DATA on your PC.. You DO NOT get a Chance to CHOOSE WHERE to Store BUT.. At least you have your DATA Stored Safe on your PC.. In case of Phone Damage OR Loss.. you can “Retrieve” your Data easily.

THAT’S Important isn’t It?

Some Summary about the different Tabs:

* Phonebook is used to manage the contacts information between mobile phone and PC folder. In addition to adding, editing and deleting contacts, users can get the phonebook database on hand and backup them to PC folder. Phone-Suite also imports contact list from Lotus Notes, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Users can copy these information to the PC folder or mobile phone.

* Message helps users to read, edit and send SMS/EMS messages directly from PC. Besides, you can create personal folders to categorize all messages on PC side.

* Settings contains the system-related settings and message default settings. Users also can set whether they want to import contact list from other software or not here.

* Images is used to draw images of various file types, and transport the images between PC and mobile phone. It also provides clip, mirror and rotate functions to reach user’s expectation.

* Melody provides a easier way to compose your own melody through the staff graphic interface. It is not only a editor but also provide the functions to transport the melodies between PC and mobile phone.

* MMS Message helps users to read, edit MMS messages directly from PC. Users also can transport MMS messages between PC and mobile phone. Whether this functionality is supported or not depends on the mobile phone connects to Phone-Suite.

* File Manager provides a friendly interface for users to manage their files between PC side and mobile phone. Functions like “copy”, “paste”, “delete”, “rename” and “new folder” are provided in the tool. Besides, File Manager supports local java installation from PC side!

Conclusion:

THIS Phone Suite is NOT Very Productive BUT… you get to Save your Data for a Rainy Day (well.. not exactly.. but you get the picture.. phone gets wet… etc. etc.)..

Remember.. DO NOT Mess with these “China Mobiles”.. Once screwed.. you have to throw them out.. Repairing.. might be a costlier option than the cost of the Phone!

Brands matter! Now if you’ll please pardon what could possibly be the worst introductory sentence ever, let me explain: brands might be evil (they have plenty of tactics for destroying the competition), they ruin all major TV events with those pesky multimillion dollar commercials, and some say that brands might even use mind-control nano-chips in their products to keep you loyal (although this is still to be proven), but all in all, brands definitely matter to most of us. And that’s almost entirely due to one thing and one thing only: you know what to expect!

If we’re to go into details, I for one sure know that a Kinder-made treat will be sweet, delicate and slightly more expensive than other unbranded treats. I know that a BMW will usually have a lot more character and sportiness than a classy Mercedes Benz. I know that a pair of Beats headphones are too expensive for what they have to offer, in the same way that I know a U.S.-made Fender Stratocaster will give me a way different (and better) sound than a considerably cheaper rip-off (say, Squire for example). And I know all this not because I was “told so” by the commercials or the nano-chip, but instead trough actual, real-world experience.

From an Android blogger perspective, I find that brand Android smartphones and tablets (think Samsung, LG, HTC) are more than often the best devices you can get, period. Even if the price for a Samsung tablet, for instance, is noticeably higher than the price of an Archos tablet with similar specs, I would still recommend that you go the Samsung way, if you can afford it. Granted, these examples are not edificatory, but you should get the point nevertheless.

Q: What is there to do when you desperately need an Android smartphone that has top-notch specs but are unwilling to spend heaps of cash on some of the most popular brand smartphones such as HTC One X or the Samsung Galaxy S3? A: You go for an unbranded smartphone!

Throughout the rest of the article, I will point out the no-brand smartphones that feature good specs, but first, you might want to learn about the top 5 reasons not to choose a cheap smartphone, then take the decision that you deem fit for your needs.

Xiaomi Mi2

To be completely honest with you guys, I was already done with the article and was going to claim that the K-Touch Treasure V8 (it is detailed below) is the best smartphone that you’ve never heard of. And then Xiaomi has just announced the Mi2, an Android 4.1 JellyBean smartphone that features the best specs in the entire Android ecosystem.

First, there’s the 4.3 inch IPS display manufactured by Sharp, one that works at a 1280×720 pixel resolution. Simple math skills show that the Xiaomi Mi2’s display has Pixel Per Inch (PPI) ratio of 341. By comparison, the Apple iPhone 4S showcases a PPI density of 326, while the Samsung Galaxy S3 features a PPI ratio of 306. Impressed? Wait, there is more!

On to the CPU, it’s a bit surprising to see that the Xiaomi Mi2 is the first smartphone in the world to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, the fastest smartphone CPU in the world at this moment. The GPU used by Qualcomm in their S4 Pro SoC is an Adreno 320, the fastest smartphone GPU in the world at this moment as well. Add 2GB of RAM memory and 16GB of internal memory, a 2000 mAh battery, as well as the 8MP camera on the back, and it becomes obvious that the Xiaomi Mi2 runs circles around every other Android smartphone in the world.

But the most impressive detail of them all is that the Mi2 will retail in the Chinese market for around 2000 Yuan (roughly $314). It is yet unclear if the Xiaomi Mi2 will reach other markets, but if it does, you better go ahead and grab one, since it offers the best specs in the world for just half the price of other top-end smartphones.

K-Touch Treasure V8

The second best smartphone that you probably never heard of is the K-Touch Treasure V8, a smartphone that K-Touch has shown off since MWC 2012 this February, although the Chinese manufacturer took the prototype back to the bench and has performed some upgrades since. The result is an Android 4.0 ICS smartphone (no updates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean have been announced this far) that features a 4.5 inch display and looks a lot like some fat guy sat on an iPhone 4S. Running at a 1280×720 pixel resolution, it totals at an impressive 326 PPI ratio.

However, despite the fact the good resolution of the display, the main point of interest here is the Tegra 3 SoC, consisting out of a 1.5GHz quad-core A9 processor, the GeForce ULP GPU and 1 GB of RAM. Other specs include 16GB of internal memory and a 1820 mAh non-removable battery.

Unfortunately, hands-on reviewers have complained about the form factor and the quality of the build materials, but this isn’t something that should surprise you from a no-brand smartphone. In fact, you should expect all the smartphones on this list to feature build materials that are mediocre at best in quality.

The K-Touch Treasure V8 will reach the Chinese market at some point August and will be priced at 3,000 Yuan (roughly $480).

BLU Products VIVO 4.3

Granted, this one shouldn’t be unknown to our frequent readers, as Bogdan first introduced this cheap Android 4.0 ICS smartphone a while back here. But for a short recap, the BLU VIVO 4.3 is referred to (at least by the manufacturers themselves) as the World’s first Dual SIM smartphone to feature a SAMOLED Plus display and a dual core CPU.

Generic Mobile Phones & Portable Devices Driver Downloads

The 4.3 inch SAMOLED Plus display on the BLU VIVO 4.3 (see the connection here?) runs at a 480 by 800 pixel resolution (that’s a 216 PPI ratio), while the dual-core A9 processor runs at 1GHz. Unfortunately, the GPU is a PowerVR SGX531, a chip originally launched back in October 2008, so you shouldn’t expect any outer-worldly frame rates while running next-gen smartphone games. In addition, the VIVO 4.3 features a 8 MP camera on the back and 1.3 MP on the front, 3G HSDPA connectivity, 4 GB of internal memory and a micro-SD slot.

Sure, this is no Galaxy S3 killer, but seeing as it will retail for roughly $250, I find the BLU VIVO 4.3 one option to consider if you’re looking into buying an inexpensive dual-SIM, dual-core smartphone.

Plum Might

Since we are on the topic of no-name smartphones that regular AA readers should know, let’s take a quick look at the Plum Might. Design-wise, the Plum Might is, for all intents and purposes, a Samsung Galaxy Note clone. The specs are a little below the average, even if we limit the range to the smartphones in this list, but the sub $200 price is also under the median, so balance is restored in the end.

The Plum Might features a 5.0 inch display running at a 480×800 pixel, thus featuring 186 PPI, a pretty low pixel density ratio when judging by current top-end standards, and the lowest of all smartphones in this list. The 1GHz single-core processor also isn’t the best you can find, while the 512 MB of RAM should handle most activities as long as you don’t open a gazzilion apps at the same time. Seeing as the specs are not mind boggling, I would expect the 2,800 mAh battery to do the job just right.

A microSD slot is also on board, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS chips. Unfortunately, the Plum Might is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and I don’t expect it to get Android 4.0 ICS.

ZOPO Pilot ZP100

The oddly named ZOPO Pilot ZP100 is a global dual-SIM Android smartphone. And by global, I am referring to the fact that it can use both GSM networks as well as CDMA ones. Other than this unique and quite helpful feature, the ZOPO Pilot is your basic, no-name Android 4.0 ICE smartphone.

The Zopo Pilot features a 4.3 inch LCD display manufactured by Sharp, a display that works at 960×540 pixels at 256 PPI.

Internal specs include a 1GHz single-core A9 CPU, a PowerVR SGX531 GPU and 512 MB of RAM. The ZOPO Pilot 100 has almost the exact same specs as the BLU Vivo 4.3, minus a processor core. Upsides include CDMA support and a $200 price tag, $50 less than that of the BLU Vivo.

THL W3

The THL W3 shares a lot of its specs with the ZOPO Pilot ZP100. You get the same 1GHz single-core A9 processor, PowerVR SGX531 GPU and 512 of RAM. The THL W3 also comes with Dual-SIM functionality as well as support for both GSM and CDMA networks, just like the ZOPO ZP100. The difference is that you get a a slightly larger and sharper screen: a 4.5 inch display running at a 1280×720 pixel resolution at a 326 PPI ratio.

Audio Generic Driver Download

The THL W3 is priced at $249 and comes with a 2000 mAh battery, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, an 8 MP back camera and a 2MP front camera.

As you might have noticed, most of these smartphones are priced under $250, the exact maximum price limit that I’ve used for creating the best cheap Android smartphones of 2012 list. Do you think any of these no-name Android smartphones should make it to the list? Let us know in the comment section below!
