Top 25 Weirdest Smartphones Ever Made

Watching this on my lg wing

I had the BlackBerry Priv back in 2016 and to this day it's still in my top 3 phones of all time, the keyboard swipe to choose auto correct was fantastic and the camera was god tier for the time

Ok I'm gonna have to stop the video mid modular Motorola to point out the weird way you pronounce "MagSafe" as "Mayg-Safe".

Sooo... Pop-Up selfie camera. Is it a feature or a gimmick? Asking for friend... 😉

I miss the "wierdness." Having something a little different from everybody else felt nice even if it wasn't necessarily top of the line or the absolute best device. Had the LG Tritan, Moto Rokr z6, and LG Rythm as my weird devices. T9 texting is a lost art imo 😆

I appreciate most of this attempt compared to what we get now.
But I would defend the padphone.
Sometime I wish my phone be a tablet then just buy another tablet.

That why foldable phone are popular. Problem was it connection was bit slow and price hurt it alot

Lol honor purse dont sound that weird to me. My wife currently using a flip phone as a crossbag, but she does carry her card in it.

Wow love lg wing. But my broke because there no case to protect the screen. It have it flaw but was sp great as multi tasking. I still consider buying one now . Since today marketplace lacking creativity

Will I wouldn't say that mike your using is a bit on the chunky side..

I loved my Samsung Galaxy Camera, I wish they made more iterations of it

the motorola mods and the asus pad were great i would buy 5hem today

if they did that eink phone that would work today

I had the G Flex 2, most comfortable phone in the pocket ever cause the curve

Blackberry passport is by far the best phone I’ve ever owned. Call quality and reception was better than any 2024 phone. By far

Some of the phones I used in the past and really enjoyed were other LG and Motorola's not mentioned such Motorola Milestone, Motorola Milestone 2 and Motorola Droid Razr, LG Prada and LG Chocolate.


The Milestone was their flip to full size keyboard, Droid Razr was light and super thin and LG phones with some of the first capacitive touchscreens.

Persona 5 OST going hard

ALWAYS LOVE NOKIA DESIGN

A weird phone I remember fondly is the Pepsi phone, it wasn’t a huge bold departure from the usual phone experience, but it was a pretty decent mid range phone that somehow got branded completely by Pepsi, sadly I never got to see one irl

Loved the 7600, had three of them in the end. Really comfortable to use once you got used to it.

No lies, I really really miss slide out keyboards....weird today but back then androids were useless without them.

A phone that relies entirely on the cloud for storage is going to be murder on your phone's bandwidth plan, and could be vicious if you happen to wander into a roaming zone.

i had the lg env 3 that phone was a nightmare i liked but had to keep recharging it over and over again

I loved my Motorola Atrix, and i had the Lapdock too.

God. I remember wanting the original Asus Padfone bad. Phone, tablet, laptop, it blew my mind. It should be brought back.

I sell phones and was at a major carrier when that small palm phone thing came out. Instantly knew it was a terrible idea. All the training we got for it made it seem like it was a cutting edge game changer. It's so dumb.

I had the ASUS PadFone Infinity. It was great! This was in 2013, before synching between devices was as seamless as it is now. I didn't take the tablet attachment everywhere, and it was quite thin by then, in any case (unlike the one shown in the video). With a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it made a perfect little computer for writing or easy tasks. The phone itself packed awesome specs and took excellent photos, too. It was expensive, though.

I had a roommate in college that found the perfect niche for the palm phone, kids whose parents made them install Life360 or some similar tracking software. When he would go out for the night he would disable Life360 on his phone and then turn on Life360 on the Palm phone and leave it in the dorm room.

I love the LG Wing. I think it would be brilliant for multi tasking and gaming too.

Yes that energizer phone is one phone you couldn't fall asleep while watching if it fell on your face you would never get up

I see a lot of people in my city with their phones on straps to carry it on their arm, wrist or neck so... that purse idea is not really THAT out there 😅 It just made it prettier

Curved screen was always an utterly stupid idea, it was never neat.

Thank God the woke phone didn't take off..!

VIDEO IDEA- all carrier exclusive phones from back when that was a thing lol. Essential phone and HTC Evo 3D & 4G were Sprint exclusives, T-Mobile sidekick, HTC droid incredible from Verizon, ETC. Compare all the carrier exclusive phones that they were using to convince people to switch

A person I know asked me why they don't just put a sim card in a 65" TV then you could use that as your phone. I asked him would it come with a cart to wheel it around on when you're not at hoe?

The purse phone might be more relevant today with electronic rfid keys and electronic wallets like Apple Pay and so on, kind of ahead of its time

The Motorola Atrix was NOT the first smartphone with a finger print reader. There might be earlier phones but I remeber the LG Expo running windows mobile 6.5 had one on the front below the screen. This phone came out in 2009.

I seriously want the Lg g wing in 2024 but can't find/afford it

i loved my 3650, nobody dared to borrow it since the keypad was weirdly placed 🤣 it was so hard for other people to type, so they usually gave up 😋 the only downside is that if you get so used to the keypad, you'll have trouble typing on a normal keypad 😅🤣

My biggest problems with smartphones these days are app creep, basically apps becoming bigger a bloated too tons of pointless updates and not being able to remove stock apps. It's 2024, sure the company gets money for having these apps preinstalled on phones from the app dev. But you shouldn't have to be forced to root your phone to remove them. Just let us uninstall them, they can still be in the phone ROM and be reinstalled if the phone is factory reset, but enough is enough.
As for physical keyboards? Sure, the demand flagged for a bit. But given how bad touch screen keyboards still are (you're lying to yourself if you say they're good), if a phone company were to introduce another physical keyboard phone and not charge the down payment on a car for it, you'd see a resurgence in interest.

LG The King of weirdness

You forgot Nokia N-Gage.

No Mi MIX Alpha...!?

really if you want status you don't buy en apple, you buy a vertu!

you say that on the 25th phone, yet new flagships are more powerful than a lot of full on budget laptops you can get nowadays 🤔🤔

I love my LG wing! I carry it in my backpack for whenever I need to Remote Desktop

The lenovo a588t should've been mentioned.

It's a touch and keyboard flip phone that runs android and has a 360° hinge mechanism like a lenovo yoga laptop.
