Cos people in USA are crazy about specs, price and stock Android. To them, buying a s6 off contract is almost usd800 and it seems they have no more subsidies from their local telcos to sign 2 year contract for a usd200 phones, so suddenly, companies like Motorola, oneplus become very famous as they sell flagship phones at less than half of Samsung or apple phones.
But here in Asia, we all have 2yr contract phones and buying phones off contract is also at least 10-20% less than in usa. Seriously a OPT at $600 compared to a s6 now selling for maybe $80 more is hard to justify since branding is unknown to most consumers....some more g4 is now $50 more only.
Only phone craze like us will buy from OP....
Even so, they have a hard time this year as there are more alternatives like nexus 5x, g4 price also low to compete with.
Last year, nexus 6 was too ex and big and other flagships are also not that capable or similarly capable, so OPO could sell very well.
