HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
When I was in Gummersbach last month, we had a round-table discussion on tech and mobile phones were among the topics we discussed. I did a quick survey from the 23 country reps and asked which is the most popular phone model in their country.
Surprisingly, our quick poll actually guessed the most popular phone of all time. Here’s the run down from what I got from a quick search:
Blackberry by Research in Motion (RIM)
Total Units Sold: 12 Million
Life span: 1999 – present
LG Chocolate by LG Electronics
Total Units Sold: 15 Million
Life span: 2006 – present
Motorola Razr
Total Units Sold: 50 Million (between 2004 – 2006 only)
Life span: 2004 – present
Nokia 3310 (also called 3330 in other regions)
Total Units Sold: 126 Million
Life Span: 2000 – 2005
Nokia 1100
Total Units Sold: 200 Million
Life span: 2003 – present
In comparison, Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently announced that they’ve already sold 2 Million iPhones in the last 6 months. At that rate, Apple’s looking to hit their 10 Million mark in 2 more years.
Apple, Asus, Cherry Mobile, Huawei, LG, Nokia, Oppo, Samsung, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Infinix Mobile, Pocophone, Honor, iPhone, OnePlus, Tecno, Realme, HTC, Gionee, Kata, IQ00, Redmi, Razer, CloudFone, Motorola, Panasonic, TCL, Wiko

LG and Moto RAZR are the two phones iPhone wishes to emulate. Same price range when they first came out (RAZR and Chocolate were actually more expensive).
But, Abe, those were naive times when there were too few models to choose from.

Admob’s top handset in the US and the world is also from Motorola — KRZR K1c– according to its latest Mobile Metrics.

I like most phones from LG. I now own a LG Shine which is somewhat a big brother of LG Chocolate but just made of metal

I dig the WIKI doodle bug dual SIM cell phone. New on the block but demonstrates performance and value…

I miss my 3310!!! hinabol ko pa yung jeep na napagiwanan ko nun.
It was a truly sturdy phone.
Curse the guy who got it and called me, but never brought it back.

I still own n3310, n3210, n5110 and n5210, all operational and 5210 is still in use today by my sister.
I love my n5210 because it’s very durable. I threw it 15meters long and my cousin didn’t even caught it. yet its still operational as of today.
Although I smash my n5110 on the cement wall, It survived but requires change of casing and resolder some of its components, yet its still operational as of now.
