None of them. They're all crap. Get a decent one from Lenovo/Huawei/Oppo/Acer if you're looking for something on the cheaper side but not crap.

Take a look here https://www.china-phone.net/ and yes, I agree with chanchan05. Support can be pretty poor

Agree with both previous posters, especially when you consider the prospect of China-sponsored spying as was reported being on the Blu devices..

Backdoor in some cheap Android phones sent personal data to China | Android Central

The old adage, you get what you pay for comes into play here.

Sure, except the AC editorial team themselves have written articles discouraging buying cheap no-name Android tablets that are sold during the holiday season. You get what you pay for and the experience is often poor.

Here are those articles from the last 3 years:
2013 - Beware the super-cheap Android tablets on Black Friday | Android Central
2014 - Please don't buy a cheap tablet on Black Friday | Android Central
2015 - Please don't buy a crappy cheap tablet on Black Friday | Android Central

The same thoughts can be applied to the cheap Chinese phones.
