Why does everyone act like Nokia and HTC are the only alternatives to Applesung? LG and Sony are the most likely to be real competitors. Just because they don't use aluminum doesn't mean they have nothing to offer.
I find LG and Sony untrustworthy. I still have hate for sony because they wanted to screw their customers with special memory cards, cables and formats. Also destroying the meaning of walkman.
I had a HTC Desire and loved it until HTC gave me the middle finger by not updating it. My friend has it now and it runs Android 4.2.2 so screw you HTC! That is why I absolutely did not want another HTC and went for Galaxy Nexus. I think that that was a huge reason why they are losing marketshare.
Mind-share and marketing. How many HTC commercials do you see? How many people in the real world do you hear talking about HTC? As good of a reputation as HTC has among the technically savvy, the average Joe knows little to nothing about them. Samsung has been around and many people have a Samsung TV or washer/drier.
LG and Sony may have it a bit better in that respect but their Android strategies were very muddled until recently. They have too many phones with confusing names, and can't get momentum.
