HTC had a clear advantage 2-3 years ago but misplayed their leap by their model naming confusion. After "Desire HD", (which I still own) I could not recommend anything to my friends due to model naming confusion. Samsung was clearer and you knew Galaxy S,2,3 was the flagship. HTC One series tries to solve it but simply added more options and it seems to be too late. Even Sony has a better chance moving forward, I bet.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoThis is one of the biggest issues in Android phones to date, there are several names for every model phone based on market, carrier, and included feature set. This confuses the hell out of consumers. Compared to the iOS phones which go by a single name iPhone and a single capability moniker (3, 3G, 4, 4S, 5) with an intuitive versioning scheme (bigger numbers are better, number + letter is "better" than just "number") I noticed Google trying to do this with the Nexus brand (although they have Nexus + size rather than version/generation)
- jsight 14y agoTo be fair, the Nexus 4 is based on the size and the release number (it's the fourth Nexus phone).
- nvmc 14y agoConsidering Sony has never (as far as I can remember) had a competing Android flagship, not to mention the financial state of Sony in general; I somewhat doubt Sony will pose any threat to HTC.
