      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 wish LG was still on the market. I would have loved to buy the LG Velvet plus the second screen case. However no carrier offered the phone with a contract.

        Mine was a piece of junk. It would crash whenever I tried to open snapchat. Super slow in general. Completely stopped working after like a year and had to be replaced.

        All the v line phones were at least still pretty easy to replace the battery on with minimal effort, even if they weren’t quick access. The problem became finding new oem batteries.

        I had the LG G3, which was the first phone with a 2K display. It was also my first android phone that had a lot of power.

    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.
