Do you think that would have happened with Nokia? Their hardware designs and cameras alone would have made them a top tier Android vendor. Their distribution channel would have assured that.
HTC, Motorola, Sony and LG essentially make their own beds, and worth noting that pretty much all of them would have been long bankrupt (their phone business, as obviously Sony and LG are much more) sans Android.
- hershel 13y agoI think before the iphone , samsung has started eating nokia's lunch in phones.
- chris_wot 13y agoAgreed. I had an N9, the hardware specs were, quite frankly, amazing. Had Android been the phone's OS, I never would have switched to an iPhone!
- Pxtl 13y agoAnd now Sony is seeing a resurgence because they're recognized the obvious: you can't beat Samsung in the art of putting high-quality equipment in a cheap plastic chassis - they do that incredibly well. You can't beat them in low-quality equipment either, and there's a million no-name Chinese companies that are trying anyways. So Sony is going back to their strong suits - they used to be the company whose design language was copied by Apple. The Xperia line shows they've returned to this form.
- GFischer 13y ago"Their hardware designs and cameras alone would have made them a top tier Android vendor" I believe this to be true: my niece is looking into buying a smartphone with a good camera. The "obvious" choice would be the Nokia 1020... but it's off the table because it runs Windows (she's considering the Xperia Z or the LG Optimus G)
