I've previously been a loyal fan of Samsung due to its reputation. Good quality products and easy to find accessories and service (phone repairs and parts etc). Last year I smashed the screen on my Samsung. When I was hunting around for a new phone, I didn't have a lot of time to do research as I needed a phone desperately. I impulse bought a Huawei. I'm quite happy with it. It's a brand that's getting quite big in New Zealand, not sure about the rest of the world.
