Probably small brands. There are lots of them. They mostly import from China with just their company name printed on them.
I would have never guessed it was that high. I would have said maybe 50-100 brands.
I miss HTC
They still exist...?
Just went to their website and it's looks very very cheesy. It does not look like a major company or even a serious one tbh. Sad because the One M8 was probably the best phone I'd ever owned.
Because they all follow Apple / Samsung shittery, while being shitter versions of said shittines.
I wish LG was still on the market. I would have loved to buy the LG Velvet plus the second screen case. However no carrier offered the phone with a contract.
The LG V20 was the last great flagship phone that had a removable battery. I miss those.
Mine was a piece of junk. It would crash whenever I tried to open snapchat. Super slow in general. Completely stopped working after like a year and had to be replaced.
All the v line phones were at least still pretty easy to replace the battery on with minimal effort, even if they weren't quick access. The problem became finding new oem batteries.
I have the LG wing and it's great. I am going to really miss it when I have to do the inevitable change....
I had the LG G3, which was the first phone with a 2K display. It was also my first android phone that had a lot of power.
I dislike that such an enclosed and anti consumer company like apple has completely taken over the cell phone market in the US, and I also hate that it's left me with almost no viable high end android devices besides Samsung. Can't even have a damned micro sd card slot anymore and curves glass edges on phones are stupid and pointless. I've heard they're at least getting rid of that, finally.
