You think Samsung outsells Nexus 100 to 1 because of the great UI? It's all about storage.

WHAT? Seriously, Nexus are not even marketed or sold retail or with contracts in most countries, and the list of countries in where they can even be bought online is a very small list of countries. Samsung outsells Nexus 100 to 1 because they phones actually exist as a product someone looking for a phone can choose. Motorola offers more storage than Samsung and almost all of their phones come with SD slots and is also outsold by Samsung 5 to 1.

  Wut? Neither the Moto G nor Moto X has an SD card slot.

Samsung outsells nexus because the highest selling samsungs are dirt cheap.

  Nope, their flagships sell the best. The S3 and S4 absolutely clean up. I would hesitate to call them good, but they sell.

    Apparently only a third of their phone sales are high end s3/4 stuff. Wonder where it leaves the crappy s3/4 mini? http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/11/12/idc-data-shows-66-of-androids-81-smartphone-share-are-junk-phones-selling-for-215 http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/11/12/idc-data-shows-66-...

I would love to see hard numbers on that, because it sounds like bullshit. Most non-tech people I know have no idea what a Nexus phone is because there is no promotion for it. Those that have a Samsung phone got one because they knew it was popular, thought it took great pictures, and loved the screen.

Yeah, has nothing to do with Google barely advertising their phone and selling them so cheap they probably only break even.

That seems completely unreasonable, but in fact, one reason I like my Galaxy Note II is that it supports a 64Gb card. (It sure ain't TouchWiz!) It is mainly the large screen though for me, but the 64Gb card holds my music collection and some videos and a lot of reference books when I am in no position to stream anything.
