Wow, your response makes me so sad.
I was quoting profit share, not market share. Apple owns 73% of smartphone profits, yet you somehow bring up sales numbers for the entire mobile phone business? Say what?
Samsung's screens are about terrible colour reproduction, there used to be much more better colours in OLED screens (see: Zune HD). Mind posting a reputable source to back up your claims of Apple considering AMOLED, and Samsung inventing AMOLED? If not, I'll take it that this site sees it fine to have a moderator spread baseless rumours as fact.
Thanks for providing zero rationale for your avoidance of HTC. If I was told I could get any device on the market right now, it would be the One X. The hardware places it in a better position than Windows Phone devices. It has a better screen and better looks than the Galaxy S III.
Why are you sad?? And why are you pushing the One X on a Windows Phone forum? For that matter, why is everyone willing to settle for a GS3 skinned with WP? I want a WP offerings that are designed with WP in mind, unique from each manufacturer.
I also don't get your Apple argument, the whole market share VS. Profits is a silly comparison. Samsung is after market share, as is HTC, LG, ZTE, and every other device maker who has a different name than "Apple". Apple is playing a different game than anyone else is. They are a "profit per handset" driven company. They use as much of the same materials as they could from the iPhone 3/3G, and then with the 4/4S. Why? Because it increased the profits by not reinventing their wheel. They do not make low end smartphones. They use the older models on AT&T to take some of the buisness, but it is not like they are designing lower end models. Apple doesn't make feature phones or basic flip phones either. Why? Because that production would take away from the bottom line. They are playing a different game then anyone else. Samsung is winning the game they are playing- profit through market share. Apple is doing fine with their plan. (How is THAT for an understatment?)
By the way, HTC has been really bad about dealing with problems in their WP offerings. All the call issues, freezing issues with my wifes Titan have been ignored. Samsung, on the other hand, put out a great set of devices with the Focus Flash and the Focus S that just work. They are seamless, and a joy to use.
Screen reproduction? That is your preference. I love the colors and how they explode off my "S" screen. I will give Sammy every chance to earn my hard earned cash with their WP8 offerings, over both Nokia and HTC.
I am also easily amused.
