I read somewhere, that apple is suing Samsung or some phone company that uses android for there operating system. So Samsung might be doing something right.

Apple sued Samsung for the "look and feel" of Android, and won.

Apple is a cancerous company.

No, Apple sued Samsung over stupid stuff and got lucky.

That's why I have to download a third-party keyboard application to have it correct my typos.

That's terrible logic to decide on a phone, anyway.

Ignoring the suing crap Samsung's phones are in an odd place.

One one hand they do the job & they tend to have a decent spec so long as you avoid their cheapo stuff.

On the other there's a lot of little oddities with their 'Droid builds, that in turn causes app incompatibility & other crap that consumers shouldn't have to deal with. OFC if the app maker has a Samsung phone to test with they can cure it, but that's usually not the case. (the same applied to LG's old phones) It's a pretty low % since it's only 4.0+ specific stuff that has issues ATM, but it's still something that shouldn't happen.

From a dev standpoint (due to the above) a Samsung phone is a must.

Personally I find them meh, possibly because I've got used to all the bells & whistles HTC have in their Sense UI, maybe because the Samsung keyboard is fuck awful, I can't really tell. Nothing that can't be cured with a lot of apps, but you shouldn't have to.
