why do you think Samsung phones oversell other Android phones? - General Questions and Answers

Why do you think Samsung phones oversell other Android phones? What do you think makes Galaxys more "superior" to other Android phones? I can't really find a good reason because all Android phones are really really similar.
I do love Galaxy much because of its practical UI. However, satisfaction with UI depends more on individual's taste and therefore does not make the Galaxys superior.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts.

I'm sure there's a lot more to it, but it helps that they're a really big company. I also wonder what some of the other reasons might be.

Are you basing it on Actual sales or Contract phones included?
There's the user who wants more memory, more apps, fsster data connection and is cheap enough to get hold of....that being said, that doesn't mean they're using it's best or whole potential, not to forget the 'Idiot Factor' ....a lot of them are sat on facebook or candy crush ...BUT they've got a flash, fancy, all singing and dancing phone....
I wouldn't worry about why there's so many out there...it's if we're ALL using the same phone... I'd shoot myself first

Its is horribe marketing move. It just shows they are pulling at strings. Name one usefull app that iOS has that we don't. Regardless of how many apps they have we have the apps. Bottomline its only good advertising to those who don't know any better.
But for people who know the market, know the devices, and know the truth its not that big of a deal.

Best advertising I seen for a phone was from Verizon the Droid and Droid incredible. T-Mobile doesn't even interest me with their comercial.

In all honesty, I cant think of an app IOS has that we dont have on Android
However, the same exact app on IOS is a lot more refined, smoother and just
performs better than on Android.
I can't think of anything off the top of my head but i have read quite a few
android enthusiast actually admit to this.
As far as Marketing goes with this commercial, I think they did great.
With the Droid commercials, Verizon never really showed you what it can do.
It was more for the "WOW factor". Yeah, it will say
Droid Incredible by HTC has a 1ghz snapdragon processor, 8 megapixel camera with flash, HD recording but it didn't show how the phone works
The iphone commercials not only tell you what the phone has, it shows you.
Even the mytouch 4g commercials to me are better than the droid commercial.
I only like the droid commercials because they are creative but overall the iphone has a much better commercial, in my opinion.
I am sick of seeing Carly. Like i really am. I am glad they dont showcase her as much because what used to be cute is annoying.
Sprint's commercials for the Evo have never been that great to me to begin with. Although I did like the best buy evo commercials
At&t's new commercials for Atrix are pretty cool too.
In all honesty, the new iphone commercials are very similar Apple's version of Droids "idont" commercial....the very same commercial android enthusiast were
getting all hot & bothered about lmao.
And this is coming from a Windows Phone 7 fangirl(and i love hate android)...I really have no interest in IOS aside from facetime and their app store

What android phone out there is the best?

In terms of battery life, CPU performance and other functions that make it a good phone...
It depends what you are going to use your phone for and it basically comes down to personal preference. I have a hTC Desire and i think its the best phone i have ever owned. I rooted it and i am running AuraxTSense, a custom ROM, if your new to Android, if you root your phone you void the warranty and in the process you carry what ever risks come with it. Good OEMS to do research on are Samsung, Motorola, hTC & LG. They have handsets catered to every type of user.
Captivate! Hands down.
I'm a fan of the samsung fascinate. Check it out!
Well, I love the spex of my atrix

Like the posts above it depends. Without the devs my Epic is trash. With the devs and custom roms that phone is amazing plus its damn near impossible to brick it and thats a huge plus

I love the Samsung Galaxy S lineup. But without the Devs (and root), these phones just don't reach their true potential.

Samsung Vibrant
I have yet to install other ROMs on it, as i am having trouble, but until then i have the android OS 2.2 Froyo on my vibrant with T-Mobile. The Battery power isn't fantastic, wont last longer than a day, sometimes not a full day, but the music, web, and apps are great! I hear some ROMs are great for battery power so if they really do help, the vibrant is a great phone.
Galaxy s.

Samsung Galaxy is nice. You can go for HTC models also.
oh come on guys its the {Samsung Nexus S}
I can suggest you motorola or acer (Better in my region but assistance will be little bad)
htc desire,highly recommended!samsung builds quality phones as well but they are the worst when it comes to longtime support of their hardware (not that it matters when you are on xda already ;-) )
Nexus S .
I vote Nexus S. I've owned a lot of android phones and this thing is hands down the absolute best. Lack of SD card annoys a lot of people though.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I think I would go with Galaxy S
I would wait for the EVO 3d
if the thunderbolt had at least a 1600mah battery it would win for sure even now its a beast. but when the evo 3d comes out it will be the **** (specs wise +1730mah batt)

I'm using an x10. Wouldn't advise this, tbh, but thanks to XDA I've had 2.2 and 2.3 roms, and it's a beautifully built phone. Basically, you need to find out what you need from your phone. If it's only calls/txts you need, get a Nokia 3310: it does the job admirably(still). But if you want to browse, check emails, play games, personalize, experiment, annoy your wife/girlfriend/kids, get any android phone that is gonna be supported beyond 2.1 Or if the latter parts don't apply, get an iOS or symbian phone...

Old processor is the same as galaxy s first gen.

Hi, the processor on this phone is crap compairing to Tegra 2. I run Asphalt 6 on the infuse and G2X the infuse is crap skipping frames even the nexus s is skipping frames. But the tegra 2 on G2x is extreamly smooth. So why have the infuse last Gen phone?
Useless post is useless post. Derp derp.
I wanted a bigger screen..dualcore?? Im waiting on the quad core
Why is it useless don't people come here to know what's better and what's not on the phones? Or u just bought it and u think its the best phone? ATT is bullshitting people and selling old Gen as new instead of getting the gs2 they want to sell this for 4-5 months and make money then bring the gs2 when it's going to be 6 months old we America is way behind rest of the world with technology
What u going to do with bigger screen if it's going to lag on new app's? U gonna look at the laggy screen
And the flash video is very had on the infuse try to watch and u'll see,
On dual core is smooth.
When it reaches that point i will upgrade..until then im loving my new phone..vids play fine
Good job, you've managed to be a an asshole on the internet. What an accomplishment. Congratulations
Why because u don't like what's true? Or u want to read only good stuff about your phone? ****
Never seem to have lag on my phone. Please point me to a laggg app

It will be the best phone in the states, till T-Mobile releases the Sensation 4G on June 8th.
Already have my money waiting for a off-contract buy. :3
There is no lag whatsoever on my infuse....its not an old Gen phone...captivate does not have super amoled plus...it does not have 4.5"...it doesn't have flash...it doesn't have 8 MP camera...it is not as thin as infuse...I know infuse has single overclocked core....they overclocked because now the chip/ hardware supports the power and 1.2ghz

Jump on down from your high horse bro. When I come to XDA I come to read USEFUL posts. Yours is NOT USEFUL. Deal with it.
Its about user experience.
I am an engineer for a very large Telecom vendor. Trust me, we all are sold the firt level software on a long term expandable hardware.
ALL hardware is capable of some evolution. Are you mad that fiber optics can carry 100gig per second when ten years ago it was only 20gig?
Does that mean new fiber is no better than old fiber?
Technology truly is software based. You don't always need to double the hardware to achieve the same user experience. Sometimes simply better crafting software can make all the difference.

[Q] What is your favorite phone and why?

Android, Windows or Symbian.. No matter what.
Tell it right here to other people and give us some info what phone, what software you are using. (other threat is deleted because it was in the wrong section)
Cheers
Android of course everything else IMO is inferior.
Samsung Galaxy SII remains the best phone out there despite the release of the Nexus
Indeed, Android the fact that it is open-source based makes it very tweakable which we nerds of course adore. One good example is the creation of android ics for the galaxy s i9000.
Bump.........
Android, no question.

Android reigns supreme IMO. Windows Mobile is ok but is very limited and somewhat boring. I have never liked Symbian much and iOS? It's an app draw...great -.-
My XL is my favourite device. There are better out there but I haven't really experienced them enough to comment.

Is windows phone worth buying ???

Hi ppl i have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7inch p3100 as i can't carry this to all the place, iM planning buy a another phone as I'm in android 4.0.4 ice cream s i looking forward to buy a windows phone in Samsung or HTC is it worth buying a windows phone or shall i go for android itself ????

Stick w/ droid.
i have a windows phone and i'm loving it the same way as android,
its better than iphone and its super sleek and fast,
but android is better than WP in some ways but based on the devices that i have the WP is faster
I can't get over the fact that Windows Phone is based on those fairly large boxes, so I'd stick with Android.
Have to say for using as a stock device WP7 is much sleeker and smoother.
But for lack of applications and mods in WPA7, I would pick my HTC Incredible S over my Nokia Lumia 800 any day of the of the week

If you go for a windows phone get wp8 as wp7 phones can't be upgraded to wp8 and so you won't be able to use certain features and apps on the wp7 models.

Wait for wp8 and then you can decide about to buy one of this.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.
Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
dude... windows sucks.
their pc sucks, their phones suck, everything about windows screams "we only care about money!!!" and they dont even give u good stuff for it.
but if u even need to ask this question, then either u dont own an android, or u do, and u simply have no idea of the incredible peice of technology you have in your hands and the unlimited possibilities that are at ur finger tips...
but hey, thats just my two cents..
Android and Linux to the end!!
No , just no . Android phones are simply better stick with it
I will stick to android itself thank you ppl

Hi,
I have to say that I love android for so many reasons such as the freedom it gives you in terms of customization... Nevertheless I had a chance to try a Lumia 710 and I was impressed by the responsiveness of the phone. In my opinion it depends a lot on what kind of user you are...whether you like to mod your phone or simply use it.....
