Since the original Motorola Dynatac days, cellphones have taken many forms with various combinations of styles and functions. Some new ideas that are included in the handset design have changed the way we interact with technology, while others are fundamentally changing our behavior in everyday life. Along the way we have seen several great works, some Duds, and a number of oddities including. Today we see 10 of the most strange Android phones of all time.
After some of the earliest cellphones introduce us to communication with text (SMS, namely), the most biggest game-changer in mobile technology comes with a touch screen. Introduction to the touch screen-based operating system, like Android, put the idea that the phone is only a device used to make phone calls. It opened the entire new region. However, there is truth on the saying just because you can do something that doesn’t mean you have to do it. During a relatively short time mankind has made a cellphone, some pocket-sized miracle makers have missed the mark.
Sometimes phone makers who usually stellar drop the giant smell on our lap and have their homework department trying to play Dud to be the top of the Christmas wish list. While we might want to think of some bad efforts to fill the niche that doesn’t exist to be something from the past, some of these are still sold today. Apart from the origin or success of their market, here we have a collection of the weirdest Android phones that have ever been made.
LG Wing
Many innovations in technology come in response to consumer needs, often developed as a result of customer feedback. And then there is a LG wing. In response to anyone, the strength in LG decided to add a strange rotation screen to one of its flagship phones. While many companies over the past few years it shines to make a screen with more real estate while perfecting a folding screen to offer a tablet-sized display that is right in the pocket, LG decides to make a completely new form factor.
Functionally, this is an impressive smartphone, according to slashgear reviews, and it offers the latest technology and specifications that are congruent with the mainstay model. However, the second screen that rotates from LG Wing is released more like a gimmick than a top-tier smartphone that is useful for everyday use. Will definitely raise eyebrows during the morning trip.
Samsung Galaxy Beam
Samsung arguably ruled perched in a smartphone manufacturing business, at least so far is innovation. Many products set the bar for all industries, and this new innovation can be the usual thing from upscale cellphones down to budget options. In 2012, the basic functionality of smartphones was established strongly, and manufacturers played new features to add and expand their device capabilities. With DLP projector technology also advances and becomes more compact, Samsung decided it would be the next big thing for the Galaxy smartphone line. Even though there seems to be many practical applications of this feature, it has a trap too.
The projector uses a lot of power and battery life that is significantly shortened, and the image quality is rather lacking. While it seems to be a fun and useful way to use your cellphone, users find, as a record review of Galaxy Beam Slashgear, the actual scenario where it is the ideal technology to be much less in reality. Because it is a Samsung product, the quality and design is never questioned, but its actual usability is not clear enough to meet costs, and which is likely that the reason failed to continue for more than a few years.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
With sustainable mobile evolution, every year newer and better features come. We are blessed with snakes, Nokia’s original killers from workplace productivity, and predictive T9 text, the most frustrating way and time consuming to send messages that can be easily delivered in a short call. With an abundance of idle processing power held in our pocket, it’s just a matter of time before the actual digital camera can be used added to the package. In the desire to move forward from a tiny portrait, rude, pixelated from the initial phone camera, Samsung was wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom by trying to do two things well and failed in both.
With the Galaxy Phone Series launched, Samsung has a good footing in the technology arena. Being a diverse electronic manufacturer of Digital Gizmos, Samsung has certain skills in both smartphones and a special mobile digital camera and decides they can combine both on the Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom. As often happens when combining two technologies into one, zoom is a proper cellphone with an OK camera. It’s not a good cellphone and a good camera. It fails to be a telephone, becoming a camera, and as recorded in the GSM arena, this failure prevents it from being a sales success.
Sidenote: Samsung Galaxy Camera, released half a year before the zoom of the Galaxy S4, actually seemed to hit a nail a little more precisely on the head with a combination of high-quality cameras and far less focused on the smartphone part of the equation. . Galaxy Camera can be seen on the photo above the wood surface while the Galaxy S4 zoom is in action and in hand.
YotaPhone
When most people think of high technology, Russia is not the first to cross mind. However, the Soviet sent the first person to space, and they continued to build some of the most sophisticated fighter jets on earth. However, the Russian Federation is not famous for electronics. Enter Yotaphone in 2012, cellphones designed by Russia and not-so-Russian-built with most of the standard features and functions found on any mobile phone, and couples who don’t. Yotaphone claims for fame are double screen settings. It cannot be folded, and does not have a sliding or strange move like LG wings.
Yotaphone has two screens: one in advance, the other is behind (through the GSM Arena). Even better, the front is a typical LCD screen, and the back is a monochrome e-ink screen like the Kindle. As a representative of Yotafone suggested during our direct experience, the back screen function (e-ink panel), intended to be used almost the same as the one with the Kindle – mostly to read.
