Rise of the mobile phone market, but more than 10 years, in such a short time, this arena scene rise, sink, catch up, silence, the story of the disappearance of each vendor in the fight to write their own destiny. Who will become the next king? Samsung hardware is strong, but the software is considered to be a short board; more attention to profits than market share, Apple; young brand HTC is hot pursuit.

Nokia let out the Throne

Motorola did not continue to write brilliant in the 2G era, Nokia, crashed out of the battle in the 3G era, Apple and Samsung to come from behind.

HTC "transition pains"

Behind Apple and Samsung, the same catch up with the HTC. This young brand has quickly jump red shipments were more than Apple, Samsung has become the United States market shipments in the first place manufacturers. HTC started relying on OEM machine Sea Strategy from HTC OEM cultural mentality of the period.

Motorola is considered to have been the Google "frozen". Google acquisition of Motorola, he caused a lot of conjecture, there is a Google's Andrew system will not continue to be fully free of charge. The old version will continue to provide to other manufacturers, but Google will Andrews into a semi-closed for Motorola to provide some special good version. But the reality is, Google Look on Motorola's lucrative patent accumulation, did not make any "preference" move on Motorola.

Similarly, the Korean companies LG and Samsung mobile phone business can be described as ice and fire. Samsung in 2003, began to enter the smartphone market, LG reaction is too slow until 2010, the product of smartphone. After entering the smartphone market, LG has been stagnant.
