I expect there won't be many other than the top Chinese brands left in a few years. Price/spec ratio is unbeatable

  At one point in time people said this about Japanese electronic vendors. Most of those companies are now dead. You can point at the Japanese automakers as a counter-point. However, I caution that comparison because they rallied around quality. In the early-70s the major American automobile makers were both terrible quality and expensive. The Japanese were able to create the holy union of both a more reliable and cheaper automobile. Could a Chinese market sprout up to make quality and cheap phone? Probably, but there's no real issue of all the phones are expensive, but terrible devices.

    In the long run, yes, when 3D printing and robotics makes manufacturing viable anywhere again. In the short term, iPhone and chinese android brands will rule

    It's not a question of "could" - they already make quality cheap phones - Xiaomi, Oneplus, Meizu for instance

  Price/spec ratio is unbeatable While true, I've found that the price/quality ratio leaves something to be desired.

    ZTE phones have really good build quality for the price.

    I'd say that was true until recently - latest chinese brand phones are getting really good, and improving all the time
