You and Sheik mentioned before, simply newer hardware, the screen is better as the Galaxy S has the Amoled not the Super Amoled while the IS has the SLCD with buffalo glass. And in the end we are talking HTC

But what is that stat based on?
Sales?
Quality of product?
Price point?
Samsung has been notorious for being a high-volume manufacturer putting out cheap entry-level handsets that depreciate faster than a Juventus attack fizzles out. They mainly offer cheap handsets that people get for free when they sign for a new contract with a carrier. They have been doing this since the symbian days. Motorola does the same thing.
These lower-tier manufacturers aren't offering quality handsets, rather cheap prices, high volume production.

Of course it has newer hardware, it is 6 or 7 monhts newer.
And it does have Super AMOLED, according to GSMArena:
Type Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 480 x 800 pixels, 4.0 inches
- Gorilla Glass display
And what does it really mean "we're talking HTC"?
Anyways, what GSMArena says about the Incredible S:
Based on number of phones sold.
And Samsung is hardly a lower tier manufacturer, it's in fact one of the top manufacturers, regularly on top, and has probably currently the best phone on the market, the SGS II.
It's not as known in the US because it's usually under a carrier name, but calling samsung a low tier manufacturer is just silly.
And actually, I'd say its Nokia that is now famous for lower end phones keeping them in the game, especially in eastern markets and asia, because they dont currently have any smartphones that can compete. Samsung has plenty of phones in all ranges.

Personally, I like Samsung because I have had nice experiences with them with the previous two phones I bought and other electronics from them.
However, I try to be as objective as possible, thats why I mention what professionals say that review these phones regularly. I want to get the most for my money and try not ti be clouded by just personal opinions or preferences. And a lot of sites speak very well of Samsung and they had/have some fantastic phones.
However, even though I prefer Samsung, because I want to get the most for my money objectivly, I am also looking at LG, although I prefer Samsung over them, because objectivly the Optimus 2X is a better phone than the Galaxy, although I have a few concerns.
Thats why I also dislike iPhone, they are overpriced and overhyped. A galaxy S is 2800 while and iPhone 4 is 4800, although they're on the same level (some would even say the Galaxy is a bit better).
My cousin wants the iPhone 5 when it gets out. When I asked why, she said its because it has all the feautres she wants, but when I asked what those features were she didnt really know, just mumbeled something about the touchscreen and working better with ther iPod.
While what you said is true when it came to cheap handsets, the game has changed once Android came into the picture. Apart from the cheap plastic bits, Samsung does make some really good phones. So does Motorola. The only thing HTC has over these manufacturers is HTC Sense which the others have not and probably will not be able to match. Remember HTC used to manufacturer cack windows phones before they started hitting the jackpot with Android
