          And when they finally update something it comes with phone breaking bugs. Cannot call with your Iphone 6 due to a great update.

            At last a competitor to Samsung's overpriced plastic phones & famous bloating batteries. I think there's a conspiracy coz samsung's batteries are all made in China. They might put higher grade battery cell in their own Chinese brand, rather than south korea's samsung. One tactic that they can use. Lol

Without memory card slot, no USB OTG support, requires itunes to copy audio/video content from PC to phone, bending (in 2014)/signal issues (in 2010, to top it - you are holding it wrong). Just some of the issues in ur favourite mobile that comes immediately to my mind. You are allowed to live in your own dream world. Just don't preach that as better life to others who seek far better value for their hard earned money.

                    Why move from one android maker to the next? Its all the same.

                    Every android is build to cheap, why sell cheap you may ask.. because its NOT worth the money.

                    Rather save up and spend 1000$ on a perfect phone then 200$ on a phone that promises specs and no experience.

                    Use any android phones, and you get the following results regardless of specs:
                    1. Lag and Jerky
                    2. Non updated OS and apps
                    3. Lousy quality apps
                    4. Poor camera performance despite MASSIVE mega pixels.

                                    This does not actually prove whether phones are good or bad. Fanboys can argue either side till kingdom come.

                                    However, it does show the weakness of iOS vs Android market share argument.

                                    If you are a Samsung fan, does the fact that Android marketshare is growing, mean that Samsung rejoices? while Android is growing, Samsung market share is shrinking, and this is what real analysts have been saying for a long time.

                                    Comparison should be done using other metrics. Even company to company market share comparisons are still acceptable to me. However, platform marketshare comparison is not so useful, especially since iOS is actually emblematic of only one company.
