Because they are stupid people love a brand and not the technology, that's the point!
Samsung is a couple of years ago came out in the first place, that they should not go in your favor, because they realized that they were robbed of their favorite company for years.
Proof of this is Samsung, which has advanced and inexpensive, unlike the competition!

I don't know why people mad at Samsung so much. No doubt that they made galaxy S series which is highly impressive and no better competition to that but other than that series it is total crap. No good phone at mid range at good price with specifications. And low end android are crap and hangs too much...

And piracy rates have nothing to do with buying phones. Nearly all of apples overpriced apps are readily available online anyway....

This is a unfair comparisson as Android is on everything other than apple, blackberry or nokia. so android is cleary going to be more popular as it covers loads of brands it's just common sense !!!!!!!

Companies like Micromax just rebrands Chinese phones and sells them in India with an affordable price tag which gives an alternative to Samsung phones here in India but they lack quality, yet they are second in the Indian market, after Samsung. Quite surprising. They are selling well here just because they have Android phones. Some times ago, Nokia was the king of Indian market and everybody hated Samsung at the time but the scenario has changed, Samsung is in the top right now whereas Nokia is just in the lowest area. Nokia must do something about it and firstly Nokia should fire its CEO....
