you know, I just had to vent about this today. On Android blogs HTC seems to get way more flack and criticism that other OEMs do not receive. I believe HTC is far more transparent and listens to customer criticism. Let me provide some examples I can think of:
1. A frequent complaint of many Android users is that the speakers didn't sound as good as the iPhone's speakers. HTC provided us with wonderful speakers, yet fanbois (mainly Samsung ones) waived their hands dismissively because ultra small bezels are worth sacrificing great sound quality. People ALWAYS complained saying they had to cup their hand in the back of their phone speaker to hear anything in a loud environment. HTC delivered and people blew them off.
2. People constantly complained that Sense UI was a laggy beast. HTC finally fixed this problem with the original M7 and nobody cared. Previously I switched from an Evo 3D to a Galaxy S2 which is arguably one of my favorite Samsung phones because it had literally zero lag at the time on Gingerbread and that's how I preferred it. Once they went to Ice Cream Sandwich I haven't enjoyed a Samsung phone since due to lag and RAM constraints, as well as storage constraints. Of course since Samsung can do no wrong the lag is a hallucination of the user and their phone is defective, or it just "doesn't matter." Yet when it was HTC it was such a big issue. Why the double standard?
3. Fanbois constantly whined that the M7 didn't have an SD card. In the M8 they put one in, yet people still find ways to dismiss the phone and hate on it.
4. People complained the iPhone took superior night photo's, so HTC provided us with the ultra pixel camera which in my opinion took the best low light photos (you could actually see what you took a picture of, unlike most phones which you could barely make anything out.) It wasn't the best quality but it really did shine for someone like me who enjoys taking photos and videos in the club/bar scene where other phones simply couldn't compete. Daylight photos are another thing. I'll give the competition that one.
5. People complained about ultra pixels not being good enough for them, so it appears that HTC has went back to megapixels for their back camera ( at least in the E8) and has even improved the front facing camera far beyond the competition! The rumored HTC Hima camera specs seem amazing, yet I'm sure the fanboys will find a way to dismiss a great phone again.
6. People also complained about how ugly and unoriginal Android phones are. HTC provides a great phone that looks sleek and sexy and often gets compliments from friends. Other OEM fanboys state that aluminum is a gimmick and that phones should be plastic. The biggest complaint though is that there isnt a removable back for a spare battery. I'd be willing to bet my life there even if this were implemented people would still complain and dismiss this phone.
I really don't get it. HTC listens to the complaints that people present, yet when they fix the issues they award the company by buying Samsung or other OEM phones. What the hell?
