編按：近日，EE Times-China在深圳舉辦了無晶圓廠(fables) CEO論壇暨頒獎活動，EE Times美國版前主編，現(xiàn)任首席國際記者的吉田順子（Junko Yoshida）也參加了活動。會后，像大部分來到深圳的外國人士一樣，她也去逛了一圈華強北，并寫了這么一篇圖文并茂的游記。面對多如牛毛的中國手機品牌，順子姐姐被雷到了……
你可能知道華為、中興、聯(lián)想和酷派這些中國智能手機品牌，但你知道科特、魅族、四季風、ThL和卓普嗎？
中國智能手機市場快速增長，涌現(xiàn)出這么多新手機品牌并不令人意外。畢竟，中國人喜歡追逐熱點市場。
中國仍然存在所謂的白牌(即山寨)廠商。他們利用標準化元件組裝產(chǎn)品，然后向運營商、OEM/ODM甚至灰市銷售。現(xiàn)在，一些非品牌本地手機設(shè)計公司變得更加聰明，紛紛調(diào)整商業(yè)模式并向食物鏈高處前進。
這些新品牌的目標仍然是國內(nèi)市場。但必須注意，廠商不僅是在智能手機上貼上自己的品牌。他們努力按照蘋果專賣店的樣式打造具有獨特品牌的完整店鋪，而不是在擁擠的零售商店出售手機。大多數(shù)智能手機都通過零售商店銷售。
我說的店面，是指深圳華強路的一個小房間，與曼哈頓和帕洛阿爾托的蘋果專賣店根本不是一個概念。而且，中國廠商打出了一個新標語：品牌至上。

科特、魅族、四季風、ThL和卓普，其中許多是最近12個月才出現(xiàn)的品牌，距離IHS iSuppli公司的中國10大品牌排行榜還有很遠的距離。但是，這些后起之秀很有魄力，許多已推出了5英寸屏幕的智能手機。
這是我們最近考察深圳消費電子市場發(fā)現(xiàn)的一些情況。
深圳歡迎你

Slideshow: New (Chinese) handsets you’ve never heard of
Junko Yoshida
Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and Coolpad are the Chinese smartphone brands you probably know. But what about Kente, Meizu, SGiFe, ThL or Zopo?
SHENZHEN, China – Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo and Coolpad are the Chinese smartphone brands you probably know. But what about Kente, Meizu, SGiFe, ThL or Zopo?
As the Chinese smartphone market surges, few should be surprised to see so many new brands popping up. After all, the Chinese like nothing better than a hot market.
So-called white box vendors (or "Shanzai," as they are sometimes called, even though it sounds derogatory) still exist in China. They assemble products from standardized parts and sell them to operators, OEMs/ODMs or even to the gray market. Now, some of the non-branded, local mobile handset design houses are wising up, changing their business model and moving up the food chain.
The target for these new brands remains domestic. But it’s important to note that vendors are not just slapping brand names onto generic smartphones. They’ve made a conscious effort to create a whole storefront with a unique brand, a la, the Apple Store, rather than selling in crowded retail shops where a vast array of smartphones are sold.
When I say storefront, I mean a cubbyhole on Huanqiang Road here, nothing like the sleek Apple stores in Manhattan and Palo Alto. Still, Chinese manufacturers have a new slogan: Branding matters.

New brands like Kente, Meizu, SgiFe, ThL and Zopo – many of which have emerged in the last 12 months – have a ways to go before they can crack IHS iSuppli’s Chinese Top Ten. Nonetheless, these upstarts are thinking big, and many already offer a 5-inch-screen smartphone.
Here's what we found during a recent tour of Shenzhen's consumer electronics outlets.
Welcome to Shenzhen
Where do we start?
The tour starts at Huanqiang North Road in Shenzhen.
Huanqiang
Here’s the world’s famous electronics market on Huanqiang Road, where you can buy anything — cables, components, chips that you need for prototyping or for DIY projects.
Saige
The Saige building located just across the street from Huanqiang, houses vendors selling electronics components, but the emphasis is on systems.
SGiFe?
Walk south down the Huangiang Road and you begin to see more branded smartphone store fronts. SGiFe is one of the new smartphone brands.
5-inch screen
No, this is not Samsung’s Galaxy SIII. SGiFe’s newest N899, based on Android 4.0, comes with a 5-inch screen.
Kente
Kente is another new smartphone brand, now with its own store on Huanqiang Road.
Another 5-inch screen!
Kente’s KT998 also features a 5-inch screen. The smartphone, originally priced at $250, is marked down to $220.
Inside the store
Storefront may be narrow. but they have enough depth to showcase a range of Kente’s smartphones models.
Here come the tablets
Kente also sells a media tablet. This one is priced at $190. Notice that its flyer says it features MediaTek’s apps processor, the MTK6575 (Cortex A9 1.0 GHz).
3-D smartphone
At Zopo’s entrance, most prominently showcased is a 3-D smartphone, the ZP 200. Presumably, you can watch 3-D with the unaided eye.
Zopo's spec
Zopo’s 3-D smartphone specification is shown here. The price quoted here is $250.
ThL
ThL is another new Chinese smartphone brand. The model ThL W1 features dual-core Cortex-A9, running on Android 4.0, a 4.3-inch screen at 960 x 540 (QHD) resolution.
Meizu
The Meizu smartphone is virtually unknown outside Chine. Its MX model (shown on display at its store runs on an OS called Flyme 1.0 (equivalent to Android 4.0) and features Samsung’s Exynos 4212 processor (dual core Cortex-A9 at 1.5 GHz). It has a 4-inch screen with 960 x 640 resolution.
Coolpad
You may have heard of Coolpad, now ranked as the third largest smartphone brand in China, according to IHS iSuppli. This one, a TD-SCDMA/GSM phone, also includes a 5-inch display.
