HTC can’t win, replaced by Samsung as No. 2 Windows Phone manufacturer
HTC just can’t get a win lately. The once very successful phone manufacturer finds itself struggling everywhere. Over in Android Land they have amazing devices like the One, but they still can’t seem to compete with Samsung. In fact, the latest numbers put HTC behind even Sony, LG, and Motorola. Unfortunately, it’s not going much better for them with Windows Phone.
Nokia is obviously the big dog in Windows Phone. Last quarter they shipped 7.1 million handsets. Samsung and HTC are battling for second place. Last quarter Samsung shipped 1 million Windows Phone devices, HTC shipped just 400,000. Even when Samsung isn’t trying they still somehow manage to sell a lot of phones.
In an ecosystem with much less competition you would think a quality manufacturer like HTC would have it easy. Nokia is really the only one dedicated to Windows Phone, but at one point last year HTC made a real big play for Microsoft. They actually made phones with “Windows Phone” in the name. Almost a year later and Samsung has effortlessly surpassed HTC.

People actually buy Samsung Windows Phones?
Anyway, it's pretty sad considering the HTC Windows Phones are really cute. But to be honest, it's impossible to beat Nokia and all their exclusive inhouse goodies.
And who are the other WP8 makers right now? It's only HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Huawei right?
