It is a fact that today’s smartphone models are starting to look the same to the eye. To roughly generalize, we see a drop notch on entry-level devices, and embedded or point-shaped cameras on mid- and high-end devices. Apart from such design differences, the devices are the same for users who are not very close to the industry today.
But before companies adopted this formula, they were constantly coming up with phones with strange features and designs. We also encountered a lot of unusual phone models during this ‘authenticity’ race of the brands. Now, let’s take a look at the devices, some of which do not work, and some that have exceeded a certain sales level.
We didn’t know we needed this: Samsung Galaxy Beam with Projector
Announced in 2012, Galaxy Beam attracted attention with its built-in projector . This projector, which does its job very well, unfortunately couldn’t cover the features of the device compared to its competitors, considering its price.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
S4 Zoom, which aims to meet your needs for both a smartphone and a camera at the same time, is a good Although it was remembered as a telephone, it could not create the desired effect. Low battery life, thickness and image quality were some of the reasons why users did not like it. However, it is a fact that it offers a nice smartphone and camera experience.
Samsung Galaxy Round:
Round’s 2013, which could not show the desired effect but still appreciated We can say that it is a very original smartphone. Having a curved screen, the device came with a few small features that would make it functional, but these alone were not enough to make Round’s name well-known. The main reason for this was the hardware features.
LG Wing, one of the most unusual models on the list, could have profoundly affected the smartphone experience:
Of course, for this, the rotating screen of the phone technology should have been supported by enough applications. This device, which appeared in 2020, came with camera features that would facilitate the work of content producers. But its price, which is equivalent to the iPhone 12 Pro, caused confusion with questions such as whether the second screen is useful.
Not exactly modular modular phone: LG G5
LG’s other different phone design comes with the G5 model appeared before us. This was a very brave move because the LG design that users have been accustomed to for a long time has been completely renewed. G5, which is now modular, could not win the appreciation of users both with hardware problems and with question marks about the usefulness of its modularity. That’s why this design was dropped on the G6.
Self-healing phone: LG G Flex
LG G Flex, which was released after Galaxy Round, It was notable for its ability to erase scratches on its own. In addition, the model, which has a curved screen as standard, lagged behind the Galaxy Round. The reason for this was that while the Round’s screen was not revolutionary, it saved the day with its hardware features, while the G Flex failed to do so. So it’s lagging behind the competition.
LG Optimus 3D:
LG’s model, which follows televisions that offer 3D images, is actually quite good for its period. was innovative. Because in these periods, televisions that offered a 3D viewing experience were not popular. But we have all seen that 3D televisions are not so revolutionary. LG Optimus 3D shared the same fate with these televisions.
HTC U11:
This phone was actually not bad. In other words, the reason why it did not hold was not due to the tightening feature. Although it was insufficient on its own, its camera, speaker power and other hardware features were quite advanced, but the price, which was well above its competitors, caused users to turn to these competitors.
Nokia Lumia models whose interface we have drawn a lot:
Microsoft, which was not very successful in adapting the Windows 8 interface to mobile, insufficient application It had to unplug Windows Phone, with its diversity and self-defeating flaws. to the sinking story
