Most Cheap Tablets Are Made In China

Did you know that most cheap tablets are made in China? No matter where in the world you buy them from, or regardless of how they are marketed. Such as "British Brand" or "An American Company". Trace them back to their roots and nine times out of ten they are actually manufactured in China or a country close by. OK, so what.. Well, nothing really, I just thought you should know.

People (Buyers) seem to be confused by this. Before buying their tablet they didn't realise and thought they were buying something that was either made in the USA or UK. However, the truth is, tablets which are made in China and then sold in Westernised countries like the UK, USA and Canada aren't actually the issue. The problem is with the company who has paid for the tablets to be built (manufactured) by the electronic companies located in China. What was their budget and intentions.

You see, most of these Western based fly-by-night "companies" look for the cheapest components to use, and the manufacturing sweat-shop that will put it all together for peanuts in order to build tablets that carry the maximum profit that can be squeezed out of each unit. Issues, such as low quality plastics, minimal RAM that's slow, cheap, low resolution screens, terrible batteries, dangerously cheap internal wiring, useless chargers, etc, are all present when going for the cheapest possible build price per unit. For a lot of these chancer companies it's all about the least expensive path to market. That's why there is an enormous amount of cheap tablets on the market that have so many negative reviews. Sad isn't it.

Every man and his dog has had a go at getting tablets built, shipping them to their country, and then slapping their own brand on the box. Most don't care about the quality, the customer, or how long it lasts. As long as it survives long enough to be out of warranty (if they offer one), job done. Money made. Once the customer complaints start to pour in, none of these company's last very long. They cease trading and move on to something else. But it's worth noting, they're not all bad.

The exception, or difference, is that some company's actually care about what they sell and some don't. The quick fixers want the most profit over the shortest time period, and the real brand builders are willing to outlay more money in order to bring good, reliable products to market.

You can tell the difference from two things. What do the reviews look like (are buyers happy, does it seem to be a reliable product?), and how long has the company / brand been in business. Also, look out for "Verified Purchases" on websites such as Amazon to be sure of a genuine purchase. But in all honesty, verified purchases aren't entirely safe either. So that's not really a good measuring stick anymore. Looking at one and two star reviews is better.

The good tablet brands will source their components from good quality suppliers. And use a reputable company to build them with care and precision. These two processes can be combined to one entity. Yes, using longer lasting internal / external components will cost more, but it will be worth it in the long run. You build a good reputation and a solid customer base in the process.

Needless to say, as a result the money will start to roll in and you have built a solid, trustworthy business in the process. So yeah, most of the cheap tablets were / are built in China, but it's down to the company / brand who has paid for them to be manufactured as to how much quality, and money, goes into each unit. Don't get me wrong, there is a fine line between profit and loss, and it can be tempting to cut corners. But it's not a good idea to compromise on quality for a little extra profit. It will come back and bite you eventually.
