Not every Android skips updates. Google and Samsung update most of their devices.

That's why I'm loving my Nexus 7

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?

I can't believe it's outselling the 8X. What is wrong with HTC though? Their devices are solid, sure they lack support but their devices are an eye catcher. They really don't sell well.

HTC 8X dropped from P24,000 (550 USD) to P11,000 (250 USD) last month
Nokia Lumia 920 dropped from P23,500 (540 USD) to P22,600 (520 USD) last month

The HTC 8X price drop is just too much. and the fact that it was once more expensive than the Lumia 920

Speaking of Huawei, the P6 looks nice.

Speaking of WP -

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.

This really should not be. Although they've had their duds, when HTC makes a great phone, it truly is great. The HTC 8X and One are some of the best phones released on their respective platforms this year, and deserve way more recognition from the general public than they have garnered.
I feel that HTC's marketing department is to blame for this. I cannot remember the last time I have seen an advertisement for ANY HTC device, which is sad. If you're going to release a flagship that's intended to compete with the S4 and the iPhone, then you need to have MASSIVE marketing campaigns. But I've failed to see any promotion for their newest devices.

I've seen plenty One and Lumia ads. They suck though. I don't see anyone wanting to buy one after seeing them.

The FaceTime ad >>> those ones with the big blue font at the end

The switch to windows phone was good and caught people's eye but the one save me Oprah posted was kinda too cookie cutter. Most smartphone ads these days have those same shots with dubstep music behind them too so idk what's so special about them (and they're clearly not working here either so).

I actually overheard people talking about the switch to windows phone ad. It was cute

The Palm Pre ads with the creepy lady that looked like Macaulay Culkin in drag?

[Save-Me-Oprah]

Slay a bit

[RastaMentality]

That one was good. Claps to Microsoft. Idk I'm tired of the dubstep and stuff. Like the surface ads got people talking but they didn't show off anything to make people want to buy. The only (Android/WP) ads that are really working these days are Samsung's tbh.

this one is epic but they never even aired it

The One should have been marketed as a phone for music lovers. The speakers are SO good.

The camera was overhyped tho, mine has the hardest time focusing

[Save-Me-Oprah]

If this song ever takes off it could be a good bit of semi-viral marketing for Nokia

Windows Phone would slay if you could have multiple homepages to swipe through.
