There were 500 smartphone brand to begin with?
Probably small brands. There are lots of them. They mostly import from China with just their company name printed on them.
I would have never guessed it was that high. I would have said maybe 50-100 brands.
I miss HTC
They still exist…?
Just went to their website and it’s looks very very cheesy. It does not look like a major company or even a serious one tbh. Sad because the One M8 was probably the best phone I’d ever owned.

Google didn’t buy HTC. They bought the parts of the company responsible for making the first Pixel phone.
HTC is still a separate entity. They just don’t release 25 phones/year now, and all of their stuff is mid-range garbage.
Thank you. I stand corrected.

Did it grow after you bought it?
Because they all follow Apple / Samsung shittery, while being shitter versions of said shittines.
I dislike that such an enclosed and anti consumer company like apple has completely taken over the cell phone market in the US, and I also hate that it’s left me with almost no viable high end android devices besides Samsung. Can’t even have a damned micro sd card slot anymore and curves glass edges on phones are stupid and pointless. I’ve heard they’re at least getting rid of that, finally.
