Because they all follow Apple / Samsung shittery, while being shitter versions of said shittines.

There were 500 smartphone brand to begin with?

Probably small brands. There are lots of them. They mostly import from China with just their company name printed on them.

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.

The LG V20 was the last great flagship phone that had a removable battery. I miss those.

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.
