This new trend that we’re seeing, new not-well-known manufacturers coming up with their mobile phones and offering Android have come up with better devices than a veteran like HTC. Google indeed is to be thanked for it. Newer better more manufacturers means more competition.. and that, my friends, makes me feel safe at nights.
