Samsung is killing it rite now, what else can u say. I primarily use apple, but gotta give credit where it's due.

Samsung will be number 1 for a long time. Hopefully HTC will be in second place this year. Proud owner of note 2.

Go Sammy, keep giving people, choice, freedom, and GREAT devices at a wide range of prices!

People are still buying low end smartphones on a regular basis. I'm a samsung guy, but i gotta say that if Apple enters the low end device market and opens up a more expansive product line up, Samsung and Apple would be a lot closer. We all understand why Apple is keeping it basic. Maybe we'll see something new; bigger screens, keyboards, less negative space. We sell more GS3s than iphone at all my our sprint locations, because, mainly, for the screen.

Apple has been selling $50 4's and $100 4S' for the past three years. Your argument makes no sense. Oh yea refurbished ones are even cheaper.

...and more expansive line up. Please read my whole post. I also talk about larger screens. Thanks for addressing the one concern but it doesn't make my post make "no sense". Please read each post.

That's very true as well

Like I have always said Samsung owns android period.

Samsung is only 26 percent in the us, but its 100% in my house!! 2 gs3 and 2 gn2!! I think LG numbers will go up this year. Htc has no chance.

Good bye, Apple...

25. darkkjedii posted on 04 Jan 2013, 04:36 1

U can say goodbye apple all u want, but apple is also a juggernaut in the mobile industry and won't b leaving anytime soon. Goodbye jmoita2

How is HTC such a small percent? I see them everywhere.

15. InspectorGadget80 posted on 03 Jan 2013, 19:34 2

We already know that they out sold the iPhone 4 4rd qt. and the #1 Android manufacturer
