I got iphone, samsung, sony, but currently i want to try a chinese smartphone, any recommendation?
 
I have a Chinese copy of a Samsung Galaxy Ace and it cost me only £109 British. It does everything I need and has all the features except a GPS chip so it can't handle SatNav options. it can work the Maps apps by wireless networks or by a data connection locating where you are at the time. They don't pass it off as a clone or a Samsung. Its' worked well for me for over six months.

It mis-reports the operating system as 4.0.3 but as near as I can tell, it's 2.3.6. My only concern is when the battery gives out, how do I locate a replacement without knowing the manufacturer but I'll worry about that when it starts to show signs of wearing out.

If you search e-Bay Mobile Phone section for an BP-I9300 you should find the people I bought mine from. It has been good value for money and its biggest advantage is its dual SIMS facility - hard to find in the UK but invaluable for me as I can use my EE (Orange) SIM in the UK and my Lebara NL SIM in Holland and both work in any country.
 


Thanks for your recommendation. I was think Inew, here is the features:
Quad core
1.5GHz
Dual SIM Card Dual Network
32GB
2GB
6.5 Inch
1920x1080 screen resolution
13.0MP
But the price is little too expensive for me.
 
That's a lot more money but looks OK. So many of the Chinese phones and tablets say they're running Android 4.*, IceCream Sandwich or whatever but the reality is they run 2.3 or thereabouts so make sure you ask the question - they have to refund you if you buy it and find out later it isn't what they say it is..
