Here, Those were thinking Sony can sell close to Samsung because of Xperia series are disappointed and some full of jealousy. Samsung is doing a better job even if the build quality still bad but for the rest the are the best in almost everything unless the Ghost...

    Anonymous, 23 Apr 2013people are buying samsung because others are to? how old ar... moreI talk about majority and what I observe. Me sounds like a 10 years.. right? If this makes you happy then sure I am ;)

    YOU are a different case. It's ALMOST. The word, "People" contains all kind of mentalities combined in a group form. It has those who follow others, individuals who follow logics and choose wisely. It depends win which category you count yourself in. This IS a fact. If in the world, there would be every one deciding what is best for one logically then there wouldn't be any individual brand carrying the title of "most sales". There would be 'thousands' of others brands who gets to be in this pie chart and would share just equal balance with other brands.

    Mostly people are followers. They follow their friends, relatives, environments. This is called "reference" and "recommendation". Sure, if you see someone(not you) carrying something you found out quiet alluring for you, you will create a desire to buy it. This is how people(mostly) are now thinking. Every one is not a professor, right? Therefore, followers are 90% of total population.

    Sure other brands have all range of phones in the same category but they don't flood it every week with some new "same-range" device with almost same feature. It's only Samsung you will found having more than two smartphones in every range which are generally the same with the exception of some new features. Get it?

    "Almost all professional review websites and blogs praise the galaxy series especially the high end ones, as great phones"
    Do they worship Galaxy series? I didn't even write anything "owhhh! the galaxy high end devices sucks", Did I? I said, they have FLOODED mobile markets with THE SAME SMARTPHONES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JUST ONE OR TWO FEATURES, don't understand proper English? Not my problem...

    "Correct me if im wrong, but i dont see many negatives about samsungs high end phones besides maybe the design and build quality, but thats about it"
    That's my point. I am not correcting you, nor do I have the rights to and neither I have said anything about their "high end" phones.

    You totally misunderstood my post or you have just did a quick skimming and posted that comment. Defines your way of thinking truly.

          AnonD-81051, 23 Apr 2013thank you , you said it better than me grow up EYE CONTROL WAS ORIGINALY FOR LG AND COPIED BY SAMSUNG S3!

          READ THIS
          LG is accusing Samsung of infringing a patent relating to eye-tracking technology. A patent for the Smart Video feature of the LG Optimus G Pro, which automatically pauses a video when the user looks away from the device, may have been infringed by a similar feature called Smart Pause in the Samsung Galaxy S4.

          It is claimed by LG that it applied for this specific patent in 2009, according to the Yonhap News Agency, as well as a number of other similar eye-tracking patents as early as 2005. While it cannot directly confirm, the company will be inspecting the Galaxy S4 when it is released next month. Samsung denies infringement, claiming to use its own methodology.

          The two companies have fiercely fought each other over the years, at varying levels of intensity. LG attempted to ambush the Galaxy S4 launch in Times Square, New York, by placing a billboard above Samsungs's own, mimicking the visual style and layout but advertising the Optimus G instead. In September, Samsung sued LG over allegations that LG had stolen technology relating to OLED production, seeking compensation of $880,514 for each instance where LG used a Samsung-originated technology or made confidential details behind them public.

                          That was a smart strategy, making all of their Android phones into Galaxy. It did kind of cheapen the brand though.

                          That, and a hell of a lot of money spent on advertising and recent R&D and there's a good reason why they are so successful.

                          It won't last though. The others are so close to them in innovations with Android this year, I can see them being toppled soon.

                                    Another victory for Apple.

                                    "Apple iTunes claimed 66 percent of all TV shows sold and 65 percent of all movies sold in online sales.

                                    Google Play didn't even register.

I certainly would not buy anything just for that exact reason.

                                      Sony, HTC, nokia ect. all have low, mid and high end devices just like samsung, now what makes samsung any different to those other brands? And so what if samsung floods the market with more phones? nobody is forced to buy it? and i can guarantee samsung does not make any impact on your life.

                                      Almost all professional review websites and blogs praise the galaxy series especially the high end ones, as great phones... are you saying these professionals are wrong and apparently your right?

                                      Correct me if im wrong, but i dont see many negatives about samsungs high end phones besides maybe the design and build quality, but thats about it.
