No reason to stick to one single brand, I just buy whatever fits my needs the best. iOS I do not like, so iPhones aren't really my thing. I do give them a chance in the store too, but I never ever walked out of the store with a new iPhone.

    I am a Sony user not a fans but most of the people know that my comments and reply just like a Sony fans, this same as Shui8 but he is Huawei fans.

      Note 8, there's no alternative for good stylus, but I'm also an illustrator, so it's handy for quick edit. Other than than I prefer Huawei for their quality build and amazing cameras. I'd never go for other Samsung than Note series. In other words, 2 specific user cases.

        I was a huge fan of Nokia back in it’s windows time, had Nokia 930.. now dead.. as of now I’m using iihone 5s.. started hating ios after couple of months.. my priorities are good camera, good build quality, good AMOLED screen, better battery life.. UI that keeps phone smooth even after two years.. You probably have guessed I’m talking about Huawei.. This company has a huge potential in delivering what majority users wants in their phone..

          I'm an LG fan, and would stick with them. Not saying everyone should, but when using they're phones I just don't feel the need to upgrade constantly. Other phones I want a new one within 3/6 months so I guess LG is a better investment for me

            Fan of Nokia.. mid-range phones user. but would switch to pixel, LG, Sony, Samsung anyday provided they offer 2-3 years OS upgrade and features that i want.. for me phone costing more than 35000INR is kinda waste of money. And phone lifetime is 3 years..

              I'm loyal to microsoft phones, shame there are no new. I was also to sony ericsson, no hope there for coming back though. As camera phone, sony is the best for me, some may like resolved detail and extra functions, but I like the tech used in their cameras, as they won't share their best hw with other brands, leave me no choice.

                used to be samsung loyalist until a changed of heart when my colleagues at work convinced me to try a huawei flagship. its been been over half a year now since that day, i must say i never regretted anything. still using my s9 tho. anyhow, for now, if I really have to choose, id happily go with a huawei device. it really suits my lifestyle and preferences. i think i'll stick with this brand for quite sometime.

                  used 4 Xiaomi devices till now and never willing to switch to other brands.

                    My preferences are outlook, camera, sound, display and UI. Whichever brand gives me the best of these features, I go for it. Also, I have a tendency to test new and less known brands.

                      These faux surveys are so inaccurate and mostly just used to rig a fake impression of one brand being popular.
                      The reality is, that one brand has lost more returning and new users than any other mobile brand the last year. More than any other brand, by a whopping margin. Yet, they seem to be doing awesomely in a scripted survey.

                        The only reason why Apple has such a high brand loyalty is probably because Apple tends to lock consumers into their "ecosystem" with other products/services like iPad, Apple watch, Apple Music, ect. And a few other reasons I guess, but that's the only one that comes to mind.

                          Things that make me not choose a device:

                          - mono audio : I use speakers a lot
                          - no IP rating : I like to make photos and videos near pool and during the rain
                          - notch or hole : I like watching videos
                          - iphone design : because it is ugly
                          - warm tones of photos
                          - UI that has iOS style: better using real iOS
                          - metal back : prefer glass, plastic or carbon fyber
                          - stock amdroid : lack of many stuff
                          - rear fingerprint scanner
                          - high SAR ( should not be above 0.7)

                            Anonymous, 14 Jul 2019I always pick Apple on gaming and stuff, but the only reaso... morethis is correct and a very accurate fact, in IOS there is only 3 devices but all from apple so you have a choice between screen sizes and premium or mid range but everything else is identical, android has thousands of devices to choose from worldwide, you dont like one brand you simply swap it for something else that fits your demands better

                              Anonymous, 14 Jul 2019Typical crappy options to vote on. The answer is no. I do ... moreFinally some with brains 👌

                                I choose to use the same brand because overall package is good and cheaper.
                                I badly want mate 20 pro last year but with expensive 6 GB ram version and no available 8 and 256 GB in my country I choose the same brand.
                                I still dream for a Ara phone,

                                    Not to mention every phone has just become a boring over priced fragile slab.
                                    Phones used to be way more adorable while also pushing boundaries. Offering unique designs and features.
                                    Now I have to pay car prices for them... WHILE STILL COMPROMISING ON WHAT I GET. That's insane.
                                    1000-1500 with a boring used fragile design. Losing the jack. Just adding some ram and storage. Same old camera.
                                    My 808 destroys any other phone in detail and image quality. Granted it falls short in other aspects like ois and HDR or dual pixel focus. But it's a 2012 device.
                                    How it so hard to make something similar or better. In q smaller sensor that fit in a slim phone with a large battery huaweii still got 40 1.4um pixels in there. So come on.
                                    No more projectors, remotes, headphone jacks, 3d, removable battery, cool looking devices, and on and on.
                                    Except for in rare specialty devices that compromise every where else.

                                      The answer is no. I do like my zte axon m, Sony Xperia z ultra, Nokia 808, and note 9....
                                      And the others being older you can't judge there. And while the note 9 is great....
                                      ....
                                      ...
                                      It's like all companies are going to crap. And I want to get the note 10... But barely upgrading the camera, battery, or anything else. And possibly losing headphone jack and not even getting that updated SoC....
                                      I will never be happy about losing the jack. But Samsung could have at least waited a little longer. They will be bringing 7nm euv chips soon with new much more efficient and powerful CPU and GPU cores that will rock us.
                                      They will have graphene batteries soon with much faster charging and higher capacities.
                                      And finally upgrade the camera to something besides another 12mp.
                                      And you can't at least wait until after giving us the most complete package we are going to get before you take away the jack?

                                        There's like one brand who offers iOS. There's several who offer Android. Many Android users can jump from one OEM to another. That's pretty good for Huawei at 54%.

                                        As for the question, hell yeah I'm satisfied! I'm sticking to the Pixel line for life. I don't see another brand of phones I want. I just don't like Google's design team and also don't know Pixels will last being they don't sell very well at all.

                                        I'm 95% satisfied with Apple of the Android world. Just not crazy about the battery life.
