This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
But I loved my HTC 10. And let's not forget about LG. Also, Sony, Motorola, Nokia are just a shadow of their former selves.
Today your main choices are Apple, Samsung or a Chinese brand (Oppo, Xiaomi etc). 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.
HTCs were glorious!
