    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.

        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.
