Appears on the current form, the price is still to a large extent affect the sales of smart machines, smart phones currently on the market prices are generally higher than the traditional phone.
Despite the big names such as the iPhone, smart phones have entered the Chinese market, major carriers have considerable promotional efforts, but the smart phone and not by the Chinese consumers.
