Sure, there are those niche phones like Pixels and Fairphones used mostly by nerds, but they are a tiny market.

I feel attacked. Lol

Pixels are definitely a small slice of the market, but by golly, it's still my favorite line.

But I am a nerd, so. No argument there.

I feel like you have Apple, Samsung, Pixel as the big 3 (in the western world)

Then it's Xiaomi, OPPO (and it's subbrands), Motorola and maybe Nokia which are all just "cheaper alternatives" or as I think people think of them "android"

Then you have your niche phones like fairphone etc.

I see more tv ads for pixels than I do for galaxy phones.
