Of course, in terms of profits the roles are reversed.

No they definately won't, but Huawei is slowly eating Samsung profits, it's getting worse and worse every q for sammy.

I hope the Nokia 8/p1 will be great. The sony compact looks nice,but i prefer a gorilla Glass screen over plastic screen. p10 plus looked nice, but the water-resistant technology is crap.

                    Who had most phones send back last year? Would be fun to see who's on top there.

                                  consumersmartphone, 09 Mar 2017Where is Sony and LG? Q4 Sony is the best they have said.well what i can say is blame gimmicks like the g5 and its friends that had successfully done in lg and sony just doesnt seem like they are focused on making thier phones visible on the market and thier design looks dated. seriously how does anyone take an lg g5 like a serious phone that can offer long-term usage, then when u compare it to a Huawei p8 or a sony x performance or a galaxy s7/edge any one who is sensible will definitely not buy an lg g5 over the other brands same goes for Lenovo/motorola and thier moto mods people use and prefer main stream items like projectors i see they have a mod for projecting the screen and i was thinking why not just buy a real projector that offers a wider range of uses and input sources(hdmi input,dvi, rca, mirror cast, etc)than buy a proprietary mod that cant work beyond a phone. same goes for the battery mods there are power banks and chargers that work on a wider spectrum beyond a specific phone lenovo open up your usage spectrum on this things just use usb otg and ur good to go and quit all these junky mods and friends whats next buddies and entourages. :)
