      They all became a hit with the public when they launched bang for buck devices.

      LG, Sony, HTC all are losing marketshare and interest levels since they aren't providing bang for buck devices in entry level and mid range. Even Samsung revamped its entry level and mid range lineup this year.

            Loser was Sony's lack of availability/marketing and high price.
            The price that they were asking, most users prefereed the popular brands like Samsung, Huawei and Apple.

Is that still the case? 60 Hz is just awful.
