There were 500 smartphone brand to begin with?
Probably small brands. There are lots of them. They mostly import from China with just their company name printed on them.
I would have never guessed it was that high. I would have said maybe 50-100 brands.
I miss HTC
They still exist…?
Just went to their website and it’s looks very very cheesy. It does not look like a major company or even a serious one tbh. Sad because the One M8 was probably the best phone I’d ever owned.

Google didn’t buy HTC. They bought the parts of the company responsible for making the first Pixel phone.
HTC is still a separate entity. They just don’t release 25 phones/year now, and all of their stuff is mid-range garbage.
Thank you. I stand corrected.

Did it grow after you bought it?
Because they all follow Apple / Samsung shittery, while being shitter versions of said shittines.
I wish LG was still on the market. I would have loved to buy the LG Velvet plus the second screen case. However no carrier offered the phone with a contract.
The LG V20 was the last great flagship phone that had a removable battery. I miss those.
Mine was a piece of junk. It would crash whenever I tried to open snapchat. Super slow in general. Completely stopped working after like a year and had to be replaced.
I have the LG wing and it’s great. I am going to really miss it when I have to do the inevitable change…
I had the LG G3, which was the first phone with a 2K display. It was also my first android phone that had a lot of power.
