In the modern mobile market, as we know, there is a huge number of different budget devices that are in demand in one way or another. The lion's share of companies that produce such devices are Chinese manufacturers, actively copying the design from the "top" development companies with a worldwide reputation.
Today we will talk about another Chinese company that presents its products on our market. We are talking about Haier. A manufacturer with that name may not be familiar to you at all. However, this does not mean that its products do not deserve our attention. Especially if you are interested in these budget models, which are becoming more technological and functional.
About company
If you think that we are now describing some small brand that has just begun its journey to leadership in the mobile industry, you are wrong. In fact, the Haier phone has long been in demand and is actively sold in the Chinese and South Korean markets. Simply, having received recognition at the local level, the manufacturer decided to go beyond the borders of the country and look for new markets. Not surprisingly, the Russian buyer, who prefers budget smartphones, can also appreciate the device. Maybe soonHaier phone will become more famous and will successfully compete with other manufacturers from China.
It is also difficult to name a “young” company: it has been on the market since 1996. Of course, during this time she managed to create her own line of mobile devices presented in the lower price segment.
About smartphones
The line offered to the buyer by this brand includes about 10 models endowed with different characteristics and having the corresponding cost. W-series gadgets are presented in Russia, which we will discuss in more detail in this article. All phones are touch screen smartphones with (predominantly) classic design for Chinese devices. What exactly the manufacturer offers to the buyer of each of his devices, read further in the article.
“Baby” Haier W701
First of all, we will characterize the smallest model presented in the manufacturer's line. We are talking about a smaller display and, in addition, having the most affordable price, the phone. Outwardly, it also looks quite simple, showing with its design that it was created for some of the simplest practical solutions. Despite this, the phone has 3G support, interacts with two SIM cards and costs, at the same time, 2990 rubles. It's no surprise that customer reviews call it a great model that fully "repays" its price.
The model has a small 3.5-inch screen with a resolution of 480p320 points; 256 MB RAM, 0.3 MP camera. Among other things, the device was equipped with a Wi-Fi module, as well as a Bluetooth transmitter.

Heier W757
Another interesting smartphone is the W757, equipped with a colorful IPS display. The gadget will cost the buyer 5490 rubles, while it has more functions and is presented in a more “fresh” design: outwardly, it looks like a typical middle-class representative of Android devices.
One of the main advantages of the model, declared by the manufacturer, is a matrix installed with a 5-inch display device. It allows you to use your phone as a multimedia player for movies, series and colorful games.
As for the technical parameters, the phone operates on the same processor: MT6572, the core frequency of which reaches 1.3 GHz.

Reviews characterizing this Haier phone show it on the positive side, noting the excellent value for money.
Powerful W818
There are gadgets in the manufacturer's lineup, in which the emphasis is on performance, despite the low cost and "budget" in the assembly of the device. At a price of 4990, the Haier w818 was equipped with a processor from Qualcomm - Snapdragon MSM8212, operating on 4 cores with a frequency of 1.2 GHz. The RAM here, however, was not increased, leaving it at the level of 512 MB.
The screen resolution is 540 by 480 pixels, while the density of their placement on the Haier w818 is 220 dpi. This testifies to the clarity of the picture and the high quality of the device's display as a whole. We also managed to find very positive reviews about the model, noting the speed of the device. This Haier phone can really give odds to its “colleagues” in the line.
Tech W852
With a cost of 5990 rubles, the W852 model may seem interesting enough for users of budget smartphones. It combines a colorful display (having a resolution of 960 by 540 pixels), whose size is 4.5 inches. Its matrix is based on IPS technology, which makes the phone an excellent device for watching movies and other entertainment. The camera has a matrix with a resolution of 8 megapixels, which allows us to talk about acceptable photos.
Additional modules like Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth on the Haier w852 device are also available.
As for the hardware platform, as noted above, the phone has a very strong 4-core MediaTek MT6582 processor. Its core frequency reaches 1.3 GHz; while the volumeRAM is 1 GB.
Haier w852 we can call a very popular device, because it really perfectly combines price with technical characteristics and wide functionality provided by the Android operating system.
“Flagship” W970
Like any other manufacturer, the phone company Haier has its own "flagship" - a model that is positioned as the "best" (in all respects, including the highest cost) in the entire line. This is the device W970. Priced at Rs.
This Haier phone can be safely called the most high-tech of all other models promoted by the brand. At the same time, as we can see, even if we compare it with other Chinese devices, it has certain advantages. In particular, reviews are very positive about its assembly and quality of materials, as well as the whole appearance.
Conclusions
In fact, we have already seen hundreds of similar phones: presented in the budget segment, they have an unremarkable design, developed by a manufacturer little known in our market. However, there is something special about these smartphones.
As the reviews show, freezes and software crashes do not happen every 10 minutes here, unlike many other similar phones. This means that even though the phones are “Chinese”, you can count on their long-term service. ExceptThis, as shown by the instructions provided by the manufacturer, Haier gives a guarantee for its equipment. And customer reviews confirm this: if you have a problem with the phone, they will change it. And this is good, because such a service is not expected from sellers of Chinese online stores, where the price of the device can be the same, and sometimes even higher.
Therefore, in general, we can recommend phones of this brand for purchase.
