The problem is, each variant differs in lots of different areas, not just the one you highlight. For instance, the S4 mini is almost certain to have a lot less power under the hood and a much lower PPI screen, which means someone who wants a smaller screen also has to compromise in a lot of other areas too. But this is Samsung’s intention as it drives customers to their higher priced, higher margin flagship.

Just a small correction, the Asha series of phones are not Symbian. The Asha series all run Nokia OS.

In my opinion, there aren’t other products that match the quality and value of Apple’s, hence I buy Apple.

Cost probably plays a big part in these decisions too; widescreen is now the mainstream standard so I’d expect it costs more to manufacturer 4:3 panels these days. And when you’re not Apple or Samsung (with huge margins that allow you to afford these luxuries), you don’t do it.

TOO MUCH LIKE A LEGACY PC SYSTEM, NOT ENOUGH LIKE A CONSUMER SMARTPHONE PRODUCT.

I wonder if Samsung’s inevitable far from grace will be as spectacular as Nokia’s?

It’s a vicious circle. Customers can’t make a choice to use a different service because it doesn’t feature at the top of search results, and the different service doesn’t appear at the top of search results because customers don’t know it’s there.
