Chinese Web giant SINA has a report out regarding a survey of Chinese smartphone consumers. The survey, which had 670,000 respondents, showed that consumers are highly concentrated in mid-range price points. Close to 90% of this population will pay $165-$330 for a smartphone.

In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses the latest developments in the Chinese smartphone market with Evan Niu, CFA, our tech and telecom bureau chief.
