Nokia & LG will beat the market in growth rate. apple will also ship more smartphone based on their new lines of smartphones. I am a expert on market research & my calculation says that.

        Htc phones have realy brilliant Camera & beatifull Displays. But the reason of falling of Htc is Very over Prices you can compare it with samsung,lg etc.. Secondly So poor battery..

        And Nokia was also a good name but window window window window window & same same things repeat?

        2014 will be a bigest year for samsung & apple.. All will be just watch what they gonna do....

                            A non updating company.

                            Rather try its sister company and use Samsung, at least it copies from the Best.

                              Guys don't think of shipping. Think about of selling. Tis are all companies shipping like flop models. Store in stores. Samsung s4 mega. Zoom. Gold like tis they r having dead stock
                              .and iPhone 5C. And Huawei I never seen anyone using in India. LG expect
                              Nexus
                              All LG goods having in stores
                              Before. Talking other brands just think tis brands
                              Oh only shipping not selling, Ok useless fellow's. And brainless fellow's. Use brains .because ofter selling only company will grow. Not in shipping.

                                And i dont care if Sony is on the bottom rock.
                                But the fact is LG sold 70million phones and yet gained 203million for the entire company. And thats lame.

                                      LG is not yet even announce its profits for the 2013.
                                      lol

                                      still its better to gained a small profits than to loose profits.


                                      SORRY SONY IS NOT EVEN ON THE LISTS!
