Not at all surprised seeing Motorola topping the list.
 
LG doing best? Lame.
 
I think that is because no one buys a second hand LG phone 😛
Actually just realizing. The report is probably US based and Google Nexus 4 is probably the most popular LG smartphone in the market right now. So that explains it.
But then they have a separate entry for Google so never mind.
 
Maybe in LG's case the value is already so low, that there is pretty much nothing to loose really
 
hehe. LG is a very small player in the US market i think... so your point probably is true.
 

i remember how only left handers in my college used motorola back in the days 🙂
yes moto is a brand to reckon with in US markets but LG is pushed down the throat in contracts.AT&T gives killer offers with LG and Huawei phones..but still i am not sure that people would buy it,that too second hand...maybe LG did well in this result thanks to NEXUS 4,since lot of people sold it withing a day of buying for a better price when it was newly launched.
