U keep screaming secure OS,is it only security we want in a smartphone,the us president and dod staff use it because its secure (or so they taught),hackers don't waste their presious time hacking an OS whose market shares is not up to 10%,they go for bigger cut cause that's where pple,bloggers computer geek pay attention to,bb has been and is still secured but where are they today?,ios & android is not as secured as bb but they are still ahead of Bb.IF BB should regain its market share (Which i doubt) then it won't be up to a month b4 hackers hack the platform especially now that android malwares & virus apps can now fully run on it.The koko of the matter is that if bb thinks the word secure os still trills us then they are on a long tin,cause it obvious that those who are interested in security has already followed them (bb) since the launch of q10 and passport.
You talk as if the BlackBerry was not once a smartphone leader.. At the time BlackBerry dominated the world, did you hear any stories of security breach?

I told you earlier you should quit talking tech cos you know nothing, or should i just say you hate Samsung and other OEMs.
Here is a link regarding the slow sales of the recent iPhones 6s

http://uk.businessinsider.com/iphone-6s-sales-disappointing-pacific-crest-2015-10

The recent iPhones didn't sell those units in a day but 3 days. Samsung sales has gone down so it is for other OEMs. The market is saturated, some OEMs even sell at a loss or actual price and gain from services they offer (LeTV and Xiaomi). You should be the one to take a seat
Now, here is what Wall Street is saying and lets see how it's contradicts what's in your link.

Apple announces fourth-quarter results Tuesday, and with the stats, the company will say how many iPhones sold in the quarter. Wall Street expects sales of 48 million to 49 million, which would greatly top last year’s shipment of 39 million iPhone 6 models in its first quarter. It's expected to make $1.88 a share on sales of $51.1 billion, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/10/26/how-many-iphones-did-apple-sell/74633802/

However, let it be clear, that I was reacting to a claim that Apple's sales are down like that of Samsung, which of course is a fallacy.

This is a more recent report from 5-hrs ago.. from the BBC...

Samsung fell? Are u this deluded or you are simply living in a cave or both?
Take a chill pill man. Stop quoting me out of context.

Yes, Samsung hasn't fallen, but it has reached its saturation point.

That's why I pointed out that if it can't find a way to go mainstream with its Tizen OS or do something different, very soon it won't have any bragging right since it doesn't control the OS. Google calls the shot. Unlike Apple and iOS.

Needles to say Samsung makes more revenue but Apple makes more profits?

Bro, quit writing your rubbish articles. You claim samsung sales have dropped, yes it has dropped so it is for all Android OEMs but despite that Samsung still sells more than all major android OEMs combined, do you know what that means?

Apple is encountering the same thing at the moment, sales of iPhone 6s and 6s plus have dropped and not selling like its predessesor, does that mean Apple is also doomed. iPad pro ins't even selling cos it makes no sense buying a super sized iPad at that rate when you can easily get a full fledged OS hybrid in the name of Surface. The market is saturated and thats the fact

But you should cover your face in shame listing Samsung in the same line with these OEMs. Only if you know how big Samsung is then you would know you know nothing about technology. Regarding priv, John Chen said they made their phone to be as secured as devices running "KNOX" . What you seem not to know is that, priv would be hacked. This is Android, its open source and it has market share unlike BB.
I don't know where you got your data from that Apple sales are down. Stop writing to suit your emotions buddy. smiley

The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are the fastest selling Apple products to date. The iPhone 5S & 5C sold 9-million units on day one. The iPhone 6 & 6 Plus sold 10-million on day one. The 6S and 6S Plus sold 13-million units on day one.

When I said Samung sales were plummeting, I didn't say that on my opinion. It's a fact and Samsung has had to lower their sales forecast in the last two fiscal year. Please take a seat!

Unfair how? Weren't you the one that created a 'Versus ' thread, then deliberately went on to make Samsung the Antagonist. You even started the thread by deriding their 2014 flagship, the S5. It's not like Samsung's the only Android OS flagbearer. There are others, you know? Whatever happened to other premium brands like Sony (currently has the best android device in the market in the mold of Z5), LG and HTC?

Then, you later went on and make this comment, and I quote "From Alcatel, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. These brands dominated the world in their prime and when they fell, it was a heavy fall."

Notice the bold? Mehn... it's almost like you just couldn't help yourself. I mean, last time I checked, Samsung is still a global force to be reckoned with, no be so?
I certainly have no bias against any brand. Like I always say, I don't write based on emotions and assumptions, I write purely on facts.

Our articles are designed to be objective at best. I can't see where there is a "lie" in what you said above. It's no longer news that Samsung ship is sinking, losing 20% of sales forecast with the S5 is definitely a bad signal.

With more manufacturers making Android devices, there is more trouble ahead if Samsung can't get its Tizen OS to hit the mainstream.

I have written more articles against BlackBerry than Samsung and I have equally written to favor both brands. Why you are seeing this is simply because BlackBerry Priv is on the way and it would be the most secure mainstream smartphone ever to hit the planet. And of course, Samsung tried to steal the show by releasing a back-case cover that has a physical qwerty keyboard for its S6 Edge plus and Note 5. So far, that idea has been an embarrassing flop.

Ask Nokia really? Bro d deal Microsoft n Nokia signed was that after buying their phone department, they will cease to produce fones till d end of 2015....n now Bro Nokia just made new devices to be launched next year...go figure!
The deal actually ends in 2016 and Nokia isn't making the phones. It's been contracted to another company, who will use the brand.

Microsoft acquired Nokia's devices and service plants (including staff) globally, so it's difficult for Nokia to just start manufacturing phones in full capacity.

However, I don't see Nokia making a decent "come back"..

What kind of gimmick can they pull off that we have not seen?

From Alcatel, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung. These brands dominated the world in their prime and when they fell, it was a heavy fall. So don't put too much hopes on Nokia buddy smiley

The best bet for blackberry is to ditch their OS and go fully for Android. I'm sure this BB Priv will be a major determinant on how BB as a company will fare in the nearest future.
I think what BlackBerry should have done with the BB10 0S, instead of side-loading Android apps is what Microsoft has done with Windows 10 Mobile.

Project Astoria and Windows Bridge for iOS (previously known as Project Islandwood) will easily port Android and iOS apps respectively to Windows Store, where users can download and install without stress.

BlackBerry's approach was rather archaic and it cost them a lot.
PhonesThis Is How Blackberry Is Going To Dislodge Samsung Once And For All by TechRez(op):
The failure of Samsung to meet sales expectation with the Galaxy S5 sent a negative signal, forcing Samsung to re-invent itself with the S6 Edge, an innovative device having two curved edge at both sides of the display. Although, this didn’t prevent Xiaomi from trouncing Samsung in China.

Samsung has already surrendered to OEM’s offering smartphones made from cheap internal components targeted at emerging markets. Now, BlackBerry looks like it’s going to give Samsung the final blow that will force it to drop a large chunk of its global dominance.

Xiaomi offers cheap smartphones as an alternative to Samsung phones, Apple matches Samsung with its highly specced iPhones while BlackBerry is set to “snatch” users who care so much about their privacy.

Fortunately, there are tens of millions of users who now consider privacy a big issue when it comes to interaction with mobile phones. This is where BlackBerry will lead a mobile onslaught on Samsung, and try to reclaim its lost glory.

Security
BlackBerry Priv will do everything that Samsung flagships does including the introduction of a new design element, an external qwerty keyboard and access to millions of apps on Google Play which plagued the fantastic BlackBerry OS 10.

The biggest talking point is that BlackBerry is going to offer its secure and manageable Priv on Android using its new BES12 device management system. This is simply a union between the most flexible OS and the most secure OS. Android is robust and flexible while BlackBerry OS 10 is the most secured OS to date.

BlackBerry’s success has been tied to a solid encryption. It is also said that its failure has been based on “too much” encryption. In 2014, former NSA lawyer Stewart Baker maintained that BlackBerry killed its self because of its rigid encryption policy. Baker also warned that Apple and Google could end up like BlackBerry if they continued their privacy encryption.

However, users have become more aware of how important it is to keep a tab on their privacy following a leaked document by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, which exposed details of NSA surveillance programs to the press in 2013.

More Security

BlackBerry Priv will be totally different from Samsung flagships. If you are thinking you are going to flash the Priv by simply rooting the device, that’s going to be an exercise in futility. That will never happen! There won’t be easy access like every other droid device out there in the wild. The Priv comes with a verified Boot and Secure Bootchain ensuring that its dedicated embedded keys distinctively verifies every layer of the smartphone; hardware and OS to ensure they have not been compromised.

Literally, your data on the BlackBerry Priv is secure and locked down in a fortified defensive structure, a fortress!


Even More Security
BlackBerry Prvi also comes with FIPS 140-2 compliant full disk encryption and DTEK, raising its security to levels of previously unseen height.

DTEK is an in-Built BlackBerry app that helps you see which personal data is accessed by apps, how secure it is based on password strength, encryption settings and more.

BlackBerry has large following; fans who dumped the brand for droid devices might finally have a reason to switch camps. Clearly, BlackBerry’s first attempt with Android is a big deal.

However, this doesn’t mean BlackBerry has pulled the plug on its BB10 OS, but it does sends a strong message to every smartphone manufacturer, especially Samsung who recently “stole” the Priv’s physical keyboard idea on its S6 Edge Plus, that it’s not going to be business as usual. It is certainly going to be a bumpy ride.

God bless you for this bro!!.. Till today, I don't know why other companies don't market their products like samsung..
Samsung has this agressive marketing strategy.
Sony spends all their money doing a great product, but don't want to spend extra telling people how great their products are. For me, that's pretty Lame.

If the Xperia mobile division survives for another 2-years. I will put-off my hats for them. In May, Sony reported a $1.4 billion loss from its Xperia division.

Sony is just sinking and its a shame. Earlier, they sold-off their PC and TV business. They are only standing on their profitable gaming division which almost went extinct with the PS3 which had initial poor sales ontop of a development fee of $3billion.

Listen, bro, not here to argue. Just to let you know how wrong you were. The S5 as of today is still outselling it's counterparts in the mold of LG G3, Sony Xperia Z2, HTC M8 and so on, and yet, in your infinite wisdom, you dared to claim it was a flop.

So Samsung is no longer the number one brand in China? Big deal. There is a pattern to this, y'know? Just like Apple owns The United States, RIM in Canada, Sony in Japan, Xiaomi eventually unseating Samsung in Mainland China was foretold, and it came to pass. Believe me, the S5 plastic finish had nothing to do with it whatsoever. Every major market needs an indigenous brand setting the pace. These phenomena can mainly be attributed to patriotism, more than it can be attributed to quality.

And btw, I'm not sure Apple even made the top 4 list in the chinese mainland. The top 4, I reckon, should be Xiaomi, Samsung, Lenovo, and Huawei. I could be wrong though.
Each fiscal year, companies set sales forecast. That the plastic S5 manages to sell small amount doesn't means it met the Company's sale expectations.

I am not talking based on assumption. Everything I say here is verified. The S5 was a disaster, quote me anywhere.

I would not want to argue with you. Apple is currently the 2nd-biggest mobile vendor in China, right ahead of Samsung. I have given you data from IDC, you are telling me stories based on your assumptions.

C'mon buddy, there is no point dragging this. The S5 was a colossal flop, and thank God it was, otherwise, Samsung would have given us the same sholve-ware in S6. But, they went to the drawing board and came up with something better.

When Samsung Galaxy S5 came out in cheap plastic casing, that was the year Xiaomi displaced Samsung in China.

Today, Samsung is 3rd in China.. behind Xiaomi and Apple.

This is an article I wrote a year ago.. And cited by other big guns..http://www.techrez.com/samsung-scared-mobile-future/

"Samsung has announced its profits for the third-quarter would decrease by about 60% and sales equally falling by 20% in comparison to the same period last year" - TechRez, 2014
In the second quarter of 2013, Samsung accounted for 32% of global smartphone sales [IDC] and by the same time this year [2014], that figure fell by 25%.

This isn't about ego bro. You wanted to learn how to use manual and there you are , pretty better in it. How many smartphone users are interested in manual modes? Most people only takes shots for social media and future reference.

Sometimes u wanna take a quick shot of something, i to gonna be auto. Nobody is denying the fact that manual isn't better than auto but most people don't care about manual. I use an S6 Edge, LG G4 has a better manual shots than it but the reverse is the case in auto thereby S6 ranking higher than G4 in that department.
My only problem with you is you keep "assuming" that "most people" are not interested in manual mode.. That's purely based on assumption..

If the manual camera mode was on the S6, everyone would have been interested in it right?

Though, you have a point.

Watch Samsung and Apple and copy LG's approach with S7 and iPhone 7.

The point is this, yes the Edge, edges the G4 a little on auto mode, but generally the G4 makes fun of whatever Samsung has in showing..

What most people use is automatic mode and if the automatic mode ain't superb , your camera would be rated inferior.

Sony has always had the best manual modes in camera but lags behind in automatic modes which displaces it away from the best smartphone camera. LG G4 is suffering the same fate but it's case is different cos it's got a very good automatic mode but ain't just better than Z5, S6 EDGE, Nexus 6P
Funny man.. You have a big ego.. deal with it.

I never knew how to use a camera, the G4 made me a better photographer. I learned the manual mode, loved it and still love it. Right now I can never use any smartphone without full camera manual mode.
