WP:LISTS[edit]

If this list is being used to generate separate entries, I'm all for it. It places a great deal of information and structure at the fingertips of a contributor, but I'd like to see it disappear when all the entries have been solidified. I would rather not "prod" this entry without a little more guidance.

Entry for Micromax under India seems to link a fictional cartoon character, not Micromax the mobile phone company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.113.135.156 (talk) 15:37, 20 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Turkey[edit]

General Mobile. It is by far more popular than Aselsan. Aselsan is specialized in military equipment; General Mobile is a popular consumer brand. According to this article; http://www.ekonomist.com.tr/teknoloji/akilli-telefonda-yerliler-ataga-gecti.html Vestel has 5% market share in Turkey and General Mobile 11%. So it would be the most popular among the Turkish brands. Also, new products of Casper are very popular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.38.157.211 (talk) 08:53, 30 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Apple Inc. or Foxconn?[edit]

So, let me get this straight. What company should be on this list? Apple Inc. or Foxconn?

Allview[edit]

Allview is a Romanian company, manufacturer and distributor of Dual SIM mobile phones and electronic products. It is recognised as one of the fast-growing brands in Romania due to the free services and features attached to their products

In December 2010, Allview was the first Romanian company to launch on the market a tablet PC named AllDro. Since then the DroSeries category of products that runs the Android operating system has reached four devices: two tablet PCs and two multimedia boxes.

In April 2011 Visual Fan wins an Excellence Award from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Brasov county for the past five years development and research activity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brodster1 (talk • contribs) 08:47, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Quick Note on Wording of Page Title and/Or Table Headings[edit]

Would be best to combine the tables and add a column for status e.g. Defunct, Exited the Industry, etc.
The page is titled "... list of ... Makers ...", yet the table column header is "Brand" - they are not one-in-the-same. Presumably, a "maker" can make multiple "Brands". Lets get the terminology in line with the intent of the page. "Manufacturer" might be the most unambiguous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.136.238 (talk) 12:53, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Motorola Mobility[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be added or removed: Motorola Mobility is currently listed under American brands however, it is arguably a Chinese brand or former American brand smartphone manufacturer. Explanation of issue: Motorola Mobility is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo, China. It is unclear from the current listing. References supporting change: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303973704579352263128996836 Yooodooo (talk) 10:23, 18 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't see how this information is incorrect, if it was a former American brand. The list currently does not delineate (or set aside space for) listing the differences between brand names that have undergone a change of ownership. Spintendo 14:33, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

replace Lenovo with Lenovo Smartphones and move to defunct[edit]

Lenovo smartphones has been subsumed by Motorola Mobility brand, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo_smartphones. I think ZUK also needs to be moved to defunct as it was also subsumed by Motorola Brand when it was purchased by Lenovo. --Yooodooo (talk) 10:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BlackBerry[edit]

Some inaccuracies here:

BlackBerry Limited should be moved to Defunct. The Blackberry partnership with TCL alluded to is known as BlackBerry Mobile.
BlackBerry Mobile (with a Chinese flag as it is TCL) should be added under Defunct. Their partnership ended in 2020.
The upcoming BlackBerry phone is being produced by OnwardMobility (no article yet.) This is the only company actively using the BlackBerry brand on a mobile phone. [2]
