AnonD-1825, 31 Aug 2011The answer what i expected!, this leaps to another guestion... moreI can't say for sure without any recent surveys. I've tried older Android devices and I would say I wouldn't buy another Android. I own the SGSII now, I would buy it over iPhone4 million times. In the past year, the mobile technology was huge, and Apple doesn't have the "smoothness" as the main advantage anymore. All devices today are just about as smooth. Better question to ask is, how do those people feel about the new Androids as their next phone especially when the higher end devices are becoming the standards?

Not how android users say that android is best and people want android and that's why it beats iOS market share etc. Most of users only buy android phone because you can get it with very small amount of money. That's why zte and huaweii for example gaining sells.
So where we are now? And why those almost half android users doesn't want hi-end android phone why iphone or something else? still i'm sure many of those already has them :)
Also samsung phones are two star rating in customer satisfaction rating. Has been many years.

When the SGSII generation of Androids become the standards, the increase of satisfaction level would leap. And that's already happening.

you are underestimating normal... more"iPhone 5 do when its released of course it will raise apple market share but will it beat Nexus prime ???"
Beat for what? sells? easily for sure. Isn't nexus prime rumoured to have 4,5" screen? Most of users doesn't want that huge screen or phone. It has much smaller potential to sell.
i would say iPhone 5 is going to be most selled smartphone ever and it's going to sell HUGE numbers still this year. iPhone is whole family phone nowdays, it's actually incredible with that hi-price phone.
Have you read the research where 53% android users are going to chance for another platform and 42% of those users are going to buy next iPhone.
More than half changing away from android, that has to tell something? right? of course thats only giving direction research and don't tell the truth, but you have to admit numbers are big!
"The numbers show that less than half of Android users surveyed (47%) say they plan to buy another Android phone. That means user dissatisfaction with the platform is so high that the majority of people currently using an Android have already given up the on the platform. Aside from the kind of tech geeks who desire an overly complicated Linux-based phone, most current Android users are explainable either by the fact that the iPhone wasn’t on their preferred carrier at the time or an instance of a salesgeek promising them that Android would be “just like iPhone but better.”
Same research iPhone users: "This compares to 94 percent of iPhone owners who said they will buy a new Apple smartphone."
Clearly there's something wrong with android? if more than half of people want to change for different platform.
And i'm sure that these weekly android malware and virus news doesn't help android :) These kind of things average people see!

Comparing smartphones is not like benchmarking video cards or CPU where you can just compare the numbers.
When iPhone5 comes out, it will be compared to the SGSII. This will be a special case because SGSII is currently the best rated phone and it's quite popular.

AnonD-1825, 31 Aug 2011"customer wants to buy a smartphone he tries everythin... moreNo i don't agree with you
you are underestimating normal customers maybe some of them don't know what flash is but i am sure that they know what Bluetooth is i mean maybe tech guys like us know everything about Bluetooth but normal customers know at least it can transfer files between phone and SGS2 isn't the only android phone which is smooth Nexus S is smooth if you use it as a normal user not an android geek and so is lg optimus 2x and HTC Sensation and even Galaxy Ace and a lot more maybe android is laggy on cheaper androids like galaxy mini or lg optimus one but again its laggy if you try to change its custom ROM if you use android like iOs it will be great
With great possibilities comes bigger problems because some guys mess up with their ROMs then complain that android is laggy or some other try to get android games or apps from illegal ways i am not saying iPhone is bad but it just don't give what android devices with the same price or even lower can give anyway let's wait and see what will iPhone 5 do when its released of course it will raise apple market share but will it beat Nexus prime ??? let's just see and leave the decision for normal customer not tech people like us

They do indeed choose iPhones through words of mouth, peer pressure, etc they don't choose an iPhone by thorough comparison. I'm not saying iPhone is all that bad, but if average consumers can compare the values phones critically, then iPhone sales will see sharp decline. Unfortunately, I must agree with you, people aren't very well informed hence the iPhone boom.

And if you say iPhones are mediocre phones you ares so totally wrong... Take Galaxy S2 for example.. As soon as it launched people and many tech-savy people too started comparing the Galaxy S 2 with the iPhone 4 which was the 'BEST PHONE OF 2010'.. Can anyone dare to compare the soon to be released iPhone 5 or 4gs(as rumours have claimed) with the Galaxy S???? Thats what an iPhone is... And always will be...

Wrong again, you clearly overestimate average people. They don't try everything :D Most of people even don't know what bluetooth means or what flash player is. If customer test iPhone browser, it's perfectly smooth, if he test some android phone (not galaxy s2) and the browser is laggy, he don't know why it's laggy and don't know that flash is heavy, he just pick the not laggy one and that's iPhone.
I would say most buyers even don't know that iOS don't have flash.
And most of the people don't care about restrictions or even know how it shows on phone.
Again, we are not typical smartphone customers anymore.

[deleted post]The never make the best phones in the market. They make mediocre phones that that does the basics pretty well. The main reason it sells is because most people don't care to purchase the best phone in the market. Bestselling doesn't mean it's the best at everything.
