I'm not disputing the fan fare for any OEM, but it's rare that you see HTC fans posting in every single Nexus or Sammy forum post. Only Sammy fans post in every forum post whether it's about Sammy or not. And, when I say ”post,” it's almost always to say how Sammy is better than all of the others in some form or fashion. And, here we are with the most current version of the Sammy being the s7 and you can't actually defend the lagginess reputation for one single model prior to the newest one. IMHO that's not much to brag about, considering how smooth HTC, Nexus, and iPhones have been for several years. And, I'd say, give that S7 a couple more months before you really start backing up how lag free it is. Just sayin! The fact that Sammy has that ongoing reputation is the exact reason why I would never buy one for myself. And, I generally hate that when iPhone users decide to switch to Android, that most of them choose Sammy. They almost always go back after the lag fest, which is particularly unbearable if you're coming from an iPhone. I have not met a single Sammy owner outside of the Note series owners who wasn't turned off by Samsung lag. Admittedly, I haven't spoken to many with the S7.

That is just due to sheer numbers. HTC is way less popular than a Nexus or a Samsung phone so naturally .. you will see more of them. I am not particular to one brand but I also don't dismiss people who like a certain brand (like Samsung) since it IS a popular choice (even if you disagree with their choice). Just like I could say your hate for Samsung leads you to believe it is a fact the newer Samsung phones will be like the old. If people did that to HTC or something like that I could see you disagreeing... See how easy that is to flip? .
I finally sold my S7 Edge in anticipation for the Note 7 but I am using an AT&T Note 5 on T-Mobile and it still feels snappy. I haven't run into a huge "lag" issue with it. If anything I ran more into AT&T's stupid bloat ware than anything.
I post around everywhere -- Liking a brand / not liking a brand does not limit me within the forums.
