The most unusual phones in the world (22 photos). The most unusual smartphones The coolest and most unusual phones

Motorola V70 (2002). This phone was released 15 years ago and cost about $ 400. Despite such fashionable features as GPRS support, a 360-degree rotating top panel of the phone (that is, by analogy with a "clamshell", access to the keypad appeared if you moved the top of the phone to the side), a round display. Convenient and even attractive in theory, the device did not take root among consumers and was reputed to be one of the strangest in terms of appearance.

Nokia 7600 (2003), apparently, he hoped to conquer the buyer with his unusual "drop" shape. On this, in general, its advantages ended - the attractive design significantly complicated many functions, in particular, it was impossible to write an SMS message with one hand. In addition, it was inferior in functionality to many "colleagues" of its generation.

Nokia N-Gage (2003), unlike the previous model, it was created specifically with an eye on gamers: in fact, it is a console phone. The unusual design was supposed to be convenient for video games, while the main advantage was the ability to play together at a distance - for this, the Bloototh network or mobile network was used. As is often the case, combining different functions leads to a loss in the quality of both. The phone was not comfortable enough for calls and sms, and its gaming component could not be compared to a traditional home console.

Samsung Serene (2005)- a product of joint creativity of Samsung and a company that produces expensive luxury equipment. The lid opens and closes automatically, the image rotates 180 degrees (depending on the mode), unique sound signals, a control wheel and an unusual keyboard. What is really there - everything is unusual. The functions of this model are completely subordinated to the design and aesthetic concept. The Samsung Serene, however, stuck with the phrase "too weird to be a phone." Considering the $ 1275 price tag, you might add: too expensive to be just a weird phone.

Nokia 7280 (2004). The model made a lot of noise among fans of fashionable phones. A tri-band mobile phone without a keyboard (the first model in the world with such an innovation) - the text is entered using the scroll wheel and the selection button. Various materials were used in the finishing of the case: not only metal, but also suede, fabric, and rubber. The turned off screen turns into a mirror - very convenient to apply lipstick. The design itself makes the phone look more like a woman's cosmetic bag than a serious device. Probably, all this external frivolity made the model uncompetitive.

BlackBerry Passport (2014) Is an attempt to sell new wine in an old bottle. BlackBerry phones have a whole army of fans: BlackBerry models are valued for their functionality, reliability and the fact that the manufacturer does not follow the lead of those for whom the phone is a “toy”. The BlackBerry Passport has tried to combine its classic design with the latest technology, and even succeeded in doing so. The phone has been awarded various design awards (Red Dot: Best of the Best 2015 and Design Award 2015). However, the big, boxy BlackBerry Passport is still one of the weirdest mobile phones around.

Samsung Juke (2007)- a phone for music lovers supporting a wide range of music formats with 2GB memory specifically for music storage. But he was remembered, nevertheless, for the design: small, quite comparable to the player in size, with a keyboard that is hidden behind the display. It seems that with this model, the engineers were a little too clever.

Monohm Runcible (2015) nicknamed "anti-smartphone". Someone compares it with a compass, someone with an old pocket watch, the fact remains: the phone looks like anything but a phone. A round wooden case (and everyone today loves hints of "eco") on the one hand, on the other - a round, like a lady's mirror, display. Despite its antique look, the gadget is equipped with the latest technology and runs on the operating system Firefox OS. It's hard to judge how convenient it is, but it's even harder to find a weirder smartphone.

Haier P7 Pen Phone (2004). The idea of ​​combining different objects in one led the creators of the Haier P7 Pen Phone to their masterpiece: the “pen phone”. Want to talk, you want, write sms, or you can sign them autographs. The elongated 15-centimeter narrow apparatus resembling a thermometer rather than a writing pen, the phone turned out to be not very convenient in both of its main functions. Still, writing on paper with a phone is not very comfortable, as well as talking on a mobile "pen" or sending messages from it.

The Golden Buddha Phone (2009) Is one of the most expensive phones designed in China. The body of the device is made of jade, coated with pearl lacquer and gilded. The shape of the box makes the phone look like a jewel. Thanks to this set, "Golden Buddha" can deservedly lead the ranking of the strangest mobile phones in the world.

Today they are one of the fastest growing branches of mobile electronics, and new models appear on the market almost every day. With such high competition, manufacturers have to constantly upgrade their products, offering customers new, more interesting features. Some are building up computing power, others are multimedia, and still others are experimenting with design. Among them there are also truly unique devices that are completely different from others. We propose to get acquainted with them today.

Vaporcade Jupiter Io4

Surely every tobacco lover at least once in his life dreamed of a telephone that can be smoked. The Vaporcade company decided to provide such an opportunity for everyone, having crossed a smartphone and an electronic cigarette in one device. The Jupiter Io4 is the first so-called Vaping Phone, complete with a removable nicotine liquid reservoir, a vaporizer and a convenient retractable mouthpiece.

In short, the two strongest addictions are cigarettes and the Internet in one bottle. The novelty just recently went on sale worldwide at a price of $ 399. For this money, you will receive a MediaTek SoC with eight Cortex-A53 cores and a Mali-T860 MP2 accelerator, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, 13 and 5 megapixel cameras, a 3200 mAh battery and a 5-inch Full HD display.

Fairphone 2

Google Project Ara, which appeared in 2011, predicted a great future, but, unfortunately, the project has not yet been published. The resulting gap was decided to fill the Fairphone company, which presented at MWC 2016 the first mass-produced modular smartphone Fairphone 2, which is already available for purchase on the official website. As conceived by the developers, now everyone can easily repair or upgrade the device by simply installing the desired module. For example, it takes only 23 seconds to replace the display.

Unfortunately, compared to the first version, the manufacturer has significantly reduced the number of parts, reducing them to a module that carries the main filling (a Qualcomm quad-core chip, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM), a 5-inch HD display module, a camera module and two additional blocks: upper (transceiver, front selfie module and 3.5 mm headphone jack) and lower (speaker with microphone, vibration motor, USB port). The battery is also removable. The rear panel color can also be selected. Such a device costs 523 €.

Thomson ALO

A very extravagant concept of the smartphone of the future was demonstrated at the end of January by French designers Jerome Olivet and Philippe Starck, the latter of whom managed to light up the development of the appearance of the Xiaomi Mi Mix. Both in form and in capabilities, their apparatus is very far from modern ones. The smartphone has a narrow elongated body, reminiscent of an animal's claw, inside there is an aluminum capsule with electronics, and outside the device is made of transparent elastic material, which is pleasant to hold in your hands. The design does not provide any screen or physical buttons.

To communicate with the owner, it is proposed to use a voice assistant and a multifunctional projector camera, which will be able to identify people nearby, as well as demonstrate various content in the form of a hologram. Adds flair and a claimed tactile response through heat and vibration. Unfortunately, the designers do not yet have a working prototype, but they are trying in every possible way to interest the domestic brand Thomson, which, according to the latest data, also reciprocates.

Monohm runcible

The list of unusual smartphones would definitely be incomplete without Runcible, presented by Monohm at the MWC 2015. Initially, the device was supposed to work on the Firefox OS operating system, but due to the termination of Mozilla support for it, developers urgently had to look for another option and adapt. A year later, a new product on BuniOS, based on the Android Open Source Project, appeared on Indiegogo, raising the required amount for development. The anti-smartphone, as its manufacturer is positioning, cannot boast of top-end technical stuffing or a first-class camera, but it impresses with its appearance.

At least it is absolutely round, and this is already worth a lot. One side of the device is almost entirely occupied by a 2.5-inch screen with a resolution of 640 x 640 pixels, while the other is made of precious wood, which makes it look like a mirror. There is also a 7-megapixel camera, wireless modules, and other attributes of a classic smartphone. The Runcible was pre-ordered in $ 499 Lovelace and $ 599 Faraday (with wood back), and $ 249 with a panel made from recycled plastic collected from the ocean.

LG G Flex 2

When it comes to custom shape, LG's brainchild, first introduced in 2013, immediately comes to mind. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary smartphone, but this is only at first. Looking at the device in profile, you immediately notice one interesting feature. The thing is that the body of the device has a rather significant bend in the middle, which strikingly distinguishes it from its competitors.

The first version, due to its weak technical filling, is no longer relevant in modern realities, the declared appearance of the third generation with the current top-level hardware is expected now this year, there remains only a modification of 2015 - G Flex 2, offered today in Russia for 19,000 rubles. For the money, you get an eight-core Snapdragon 810, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, a 5.5-inch Full HD display, and a 13MP main camera.

Blackphone2

Moving away from design to features, it is worth noting a very curious child of paranoia called Blackphone2. The key difference between an unremarkable-looking smartphone is the high degree of protection of stored and transmitted data, in which Silent Circle has surpassed even the Blackberry, which is very fond of this. The second version of the device, presented at MWC 2015, received a more powerful hardware platform and uses a proprietary encrypted PrivatOS shell, created on the Android OS.

To feel completely protected, you will have to use special applications available with a paid subscription: Silent Phone, which makes it impossible to listen to calls using peer-to-peer VoIP, Silent Text for encrypted communication with a test, and Silent Contacts, which blocks free access to contacts. The connection to the Internet is made through a VPN, and to turn on the device you will need to enter a password and pin code. In general, with such a phone, you are not afraid of special services or spies. True, £ 467 for a kit with an annual subscription for a device with an eight-core Snapdragon, 3 and 32 GB of memory, a 13-megapixel camera and a 5.5-inch Full HD display is too much.

Sunpartner Technologies

The once extremely expensive solution of Sunpartner Technologies found its serial application only in the $ 5000 Tag Heuer Meridiist Infinite phone, which, of course, is not worth its money with the 2014 stuffing. The Japanese manufacturer of secure smartphones, Kyocera, has been struggling for years over the possibility of reducing the cost of technology called WYSIPS. He regularly brings his prototypes to MWC, but it never came to mass production.

It is a dedicated display panel with an integrated solar panel. The idea of ​​recharging mobile gadgets from the sun is not new for a long time, and even at the end of the 2000s, Samsung successfully released similar products. But in them, the panel was located on the back side and was no different from the usual one. The advantage of WYSIPS is obvious. The smartphone will be charged directly during operation, and even natural and artificial lighting can be used as a source of energy.

Lumigon T3

The Danish company Lumigon specializes in the manufacture of exquisite devices from premium materials, but as practice shows, technical innovations are also not alien to it. One of the latest developments from the manufacturer, first presented in June last year, was a very curious smartphone T3, the first in the world to receive one unusual function.

Along with the 13-megapixel main camera, there is an additional infrared module with an infrared flash on the rear panel, which allows you to shoot in the dark. Unfortunately, the maximum resolution of the IR sensor is only 4 megapixels, and the filling of Helio x10, 3 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM plus a 4.8-inch HD-display refers the product to the mainstream segment, which cannot be said about the price declared by Lumigon. ... This pleasure will cost the owner 60,000 rubles.

ChangHong H1 and H2

The Chinese home appliance and electronics manufacturer Sichuan Changhong Electric Co., founded in 1958 by the state, is known in its homeland primarily as a leading supplier of televisions. Meanwhile, the company's assortment also includes much more exotic devices, for example, smartphones with unusual functionality.

Introduced in 2015, ChangHong H1 has only a quad-core MediaTek MT6732, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, as well as a 5-inch HD display, but it is equipped with a unique system for analyzing blood biochemical parameters (glucose, cholesterol, lipids). certified, equating the device to a diagnostic medical instrument. In order to pass the test, it is necessary to insert a small plate with a drop of blood into a special slot, after which the corresponding chip will perform an analysis.

ChangHong H2 appeared much later - at the January CES 2017 and it is interesting with no less interesting function than that of H1. The device has a full-fledged molecular scanner SCiO on board, developed by the Israeli company Consumer Physics and the American Analog Devices. With its help, you can accurately determine the composition of food, medicine or household chemicals. In short, armed with such a scanner, you will always know what is inside, and not what is written on the package. The rest of the characteristics of the smartphone are not flagship, but not basic either: an eight-core MediaTek processor paired with 4 GB of RAM, a 6-inch Full HD display, 64 GB storage, a 16-megapixel camera and a 3000 mAh battery. H2 will cost about $ 500.

Lenovo Smart Cast

The Galaxy Beam smartphone, presented by Samsung in 2010, had its own pico-projector on board, capable of displaying images with a diagonal of up to 50 inches, which earned the honorary title of one of the most unusual devices of its time. Its reincarnation Galaxy Beam 2, which appeared in 2015 as a smartphone, is already morally outdated today, but Lenovo's rethinking idea embodied in the Smart Cast prototype is likely to find active use in the future.

The Chinese developers installed a swivel module at the top of the device, equipped with a laser projector and an infrared motion sensor. This combination allows the gadget not only to project an image onto walls or a table, but also to turn various surfaces into touch surfaces. Smart Cast has not yet been officially presented and its further fate is unknown, but given the promising nature of the technology, it will not be long to wait for its competent technical implementation.

CAT S60

The last in our review is a rugged smartphone made by Caterpillar. CAT S60, presented at IFA 2016, boasts not only good performance for its class and the highest reliability under any operating conditions, but also the presence of an integrated thermal imager developed by FLIR. The device has no analogues yet, but it also costs about 42,000 rubles.

Thus, the manufacturer managed not only to create the most compact thermal imaging camera in the world, which you can always take with you, but also to provide the most convenient tool for working with the collected data. The device is aimed at professionals involved in the repair and maintenance of various objects. On board you'll find an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, a 13MP camera, a 4.7-inch HD display, and a 3800mAh battery.

Smartphones have become our greatest friends in everyday life. We probably spend more time with a smartphone than with any other device in the day. But the hardest part today is finding a phone that stands out in the crowd. But that's not the case with these 10 smartphones on this list. These are some of the most unique smartphones nowadays. If you are looking for a unique smartphone, I hope you find one of your choice.

10. Nanex


As you might have guessed from the name, this is a mini smartphone for the enthusiast. The 2.45-inch display is not only the smallest smartphone in the world, but also water and dust resistant. It has IP53 water resistance certification, 1GHz processor and runs on Android 4.0 ICS. It may not be the most modern smartphone today, but it certainly is one of the most unique.


When everyone thought Samsung would never make a properly designed smartphone, they shocked the world by showcasing their innovative series. They primarily incorporated display bending at one edge in their series, before launching the Galaxy S6 Edge, where both display edges are curved.

While their next generation, the S7 Edge, is more or less similar to the S6 Edge except for some improvements, it is still one of the most unique smartphones in the world.


What if you are one of those people who want to stay up to date with technology but still love these old BlackBerry phones a lot. The Blackberry Passport is not only the company's most unusual smartphone, but also one of the most powerful. The smartphone has a 4.5-inch (1440 x 1440) display with a beautifully designed QWERTY keyboard.

Other specs include a Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a 13MP camera, and a massive 3450mAh battery.


At first glance, this phone looks rather strange, but once you discover that it has a massive 6800mAh battery and is IP68 certified against water, dust and shock, the design immediately becomes clear.

This phone is one of the loudest phones in the world. For those looking for a rugged smartphone with a massive battery, this is a dream come true.


You might think this phone doesn't look unique from every angle, in fact, it looks just like the other Z-series smartphones from Sony. But what makes it unique is the 4K display. It is a high-end smartphone with a 5.5-inch display (2160 x 3840 pixels) that delivers up to 800 ppi.

4K displays will inevitably become the norm in high-end phones. But right now, if you're looking for a phone that's perfect for VR, this is the one to go for. The Google headset spot with the Xperia Z5 Premium will easily surpass the experience of the HTC Hive and other expensive virtual reality headsets ..


The most unique feature of this smartphone is the thermal imaging camera. But apart from that, this is probably the most durable smartphone in the world.

Features drop resistance up to 1.8m, MIL-STD-810G certification - salt, dust, moisture, rain, vibration, solar radiation, trans, heat resistance and IP68 waterproof certification. It's also loaded with a decently powerful Snapdragon 617 processor as well as 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a whopping 3,800mAh battery.


The LG G flex is the world's first smartphone with a curved display. While it hasn't turned out to be as revolutionary as the company might have expected, it really is one of the unique smartphones out there. Except for the curved display, it has a self-healing back panel (heals itself from scratches).

The recently launched LG G flex 2 is loaded with snapdragon 810 processor making it one of the most powerful smartphones around.


The uniqueness of the Yotaphone lies in the dual display. It has a 5 "display on the front and a 4.7" secondary display on the back. Yotaphone 2 is also a real powerhouse with snapdragon 801 processor.


The Dior Reverie is a luxury phone priced at $ 116,000 and is arguably the most expensive smartphone in the world. The device is equipped with a full LCD touch screen, which is adorned with 1539 diamonds and 46 parts of natural mother-of-pearl and 18K white gold. The Dior Reverie is one of the most unique smartphones out there, although few are willing to spend that amount on a phone.


Xiaomi Mi Mix is ​​a complete surprise from the Chinese giant. While popular for copying designs by other companies, even MIUI seems to be heavily inspired by IOS. But this phone is undeniably groundbreaking. Xiaomi Mi Mix with 91% screen-to-body ratio. The 6.4-inch giant display is stunning, but the phone feels smaller due to the borderless design.

Although it looks more like a concept phone, the fact is that you can buy this phone for literally $ 500. He looks beautiful on the outside, but on the inside is an absolute beast. The Mi MiX is powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor, along with 6GB of RAM and an amazing 256GB of internal storage.

Apple iPhone 4

Perhaps one of the most beautiful smartphones of its time. A gorgeous combination of glass and metal in a familiar, recognizable design. I still see iPhone 4 / 4S owners in the subway, and I do not get the feeling that they are using something outdated.

Apple iPhone 5s

In the original "five" they switched from glass to aluminum, but the black version did not work well enough, so it peeled off terribly after some time. The 5s solved this problem by changing the black model to Space Gray. In addition, there is also a gold version of the iPhone. By the way, the 5s looks just as beautiful in gold, but many are embarrassed to purchase a device in this case because of the many prejudices about this color.


Apple iPhone 6/6 Plus

The design of the new iPhones has caused a lot of controversy on the web. Someone did not like the protruding peephole of the camera, someone was dissatisfied with the antenna strips in the housing, etc. I have been using the iPhone 6 for about six months, and during this time I can say that I like its design. But the body of the model is really slippery, so you have to carry the device in a case.


Nokia Lumia 920

You can treat the Nokia brand differently, but the Finns have always been able to make beautiful and unusual devices. The 920 has invariably attracted the attention of others, and even in the lemon-colored case, you can't take your eyes off it at all. This smartphone became the ancestor of the entire Lumia line, and even now Microsoft continues to use it.


HTC Windows Phone 8x

Microsoft significantly limited the ability to customize the standard interface, as a result, manufacturers were forced to focus on the appearance and materials of the case. And it was, in general, great. The same 8x looked just amazing, I used it with pleasure during our special project with Microsoft. At the same time, Artem Lutfullin and I spoke with regret that HTC did not have a similar model on Android.

HTC One M8

To be honest, I didn't really like the design of the One M7 (but I know that many of you, on the contrary, liked the M7!), But the M8 just sunk into the soul. A beautiful aluminum body, while completely non-slippery, a high-quality display and cool stereo speakers. I have happily used this device for three months and could return to it without any problems.


LG Nexus 4

From the point of view of practicality, the glass case was just a nightmare - it easily got dirty and quickly lost its "presentation", but after cleaning it, the device could be admired for quite a long time.


LG Nexus 5

Wait with indignation on the topic: "There is nothing interesting here!" Of course, at first glance, the design of the Nexus 5 is not striking. But exactly until you take a red apparatus in your hand. It is in this version that the model evokes a storm of positive emotions. I myself used this model and often took it in my hand, just to see how beautifully the case plays in the light. Now Roman Belykh has the same model, and I think he will confirm my words.


Lg g4

As with the iPhone 6, users have reacted differently to the replacement genuine leather back covers. However, in my opinion, such a solution looks at least original. As a result, together with the curved screen, we get an unusual, interesting model.

Samsung Wave

This device can certainly be called a pearl of Samsung design. Slim, lightweight, aluminum housing, no slicked edges. The most luxurious model that was sacrificed to the Bada platform. I still remember the indignation of Galaxy S owners who wanted to buy a version of Wave on Android.


Samsung Galaxy Note 3

This device has finally abandoned the glossy back cover, which has significantly increased the practicality of the body and the smartphone as a whole. Of course, in terms of comparison with other manufacturers, the Note 3 did not look so good anymore, but for Samsung the decision to use such a back cover was a definite progress.



Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE

On the example of this model, we can clearly see that curved displays are needed not for practicality, but for the "wow effect". And for this purpose, they cope 100%. I saw the S6 EDGE live literally last week and I can safely say that the device looks simply gorgeous.


Lenovo K900

I was able to get acquainted with the model live for the first time already at MWC 2012, and then the device impressed me very much. Slim and light, with sharp edges and an aluminum body, it looked austere and really cool.


Lenovo Vibe X2

In my opinion, Vibe X2 turned out to be a very youthful device, at least judging by its appearance. The beautiful three-layer body and striking back covers definitely set the model apart from the competition.


Huawei Ascend P6

I never perceived Huawei as a manufacturer of smartphones with a cool design until I saw their Huawei Ascend P6 live. Yes, it had a lot of borrowing from other companies' designs, and nevertheless, it looked just gorgeous.

Huawei Ascend P7

In P7, the aluminum case was changed to glass, only the frame was not touched. In the end, the P7 looked like a mixture of Sony Xperia Z and Apple iPhone 4s designs. And again, despite borrowing the design, the model, like the P6, looked very cool. By the way, I don't include P8 in this selection, because in my opinion, it came out completely ugly.



Motorola Moto X2

The popularity of this device has brought two features. Firstly, the ability to assemble your own model to order, with a choice of body color and materials, and secondly, one of the most unusual materials for the back cover.


Sony Xperia Ray

The beautiful and compact Xperia Ray once sunk into the souls of many reviewers, and I am no exception. Even now, Ray's design looks quite original.


Sony Xperia Z

As in the case of the Nokia Lumia 920, the Xperia Z pioneered the design of the entire Z line. Glass body, aluminum frame, round button, calm shell and, of course, waterproof!

Asus PadFone Infinity

In general, 2012 was rich in announcements of beautiful smartphones. In PadFone Infinity, Asus decided for the first time to change the plastic to aluminum and increase the display diagonal. As well as Lenovo K900, this device looked great.


Acer liquid jade

If you've read my Liquid Jade review, remember that it was negative rather than positive. However, in terms of design, I really like Jade. Thin display bezels, light-colored back cover and unusual appearance of the main speaker.



Sharp aquos crystal

I will conclude our selection with a bezel-less smartphone from Sharp. This model certainly did not leave anyone indifferent. Still, the Japanese know how to surprise.


Conclusion

I repeat the words said in the introduction: I in no way claim to fully cover all, all, all beautiful devices of the last five years and the ultimate truth. This is my author's selection, of course, you may not agree with my choice, for this we have a commenting system. So speak up, what has hooked you the most over the past five years?

You know the major players in the smartphone market: the best phones in the world today are made by Apple, HTC, Samsung, LG, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei and others.

But what about those smartphones that are not popular with us? Just because a phone isn't popular anywhere doesn't mean it's not one of the best.

Some smartphones are also just a little misunderstood. So we'll break down a list of smartphones that we think you should take a look at, especially if you're ripe for an “alternative” phone. So let's get started.

Fairphone 2

Fairphone has one key goal - to create a smartphone made with "ethical sources and materials". The company strives to create a smartphone using only conflict-free resources (the name Fairphone translates as "honest phone"), as well as reasonable wages for employees throughout the entire production process. The smartphone will not bring mental anguish to those who care about the low-wage labor of workers in China, where the iPhone is assembled.

You must admire the intention of the company. The company has now made its second phone, and this time it's modular so you can swap out the elements without having to worry about disposing of your entire smartphone after a few years.

The device runs Android 5.1 and has a 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM. It also supports 4G LTE and offers 32GB of internal storage.
The smartphone may not be in the company's warehouses at the present time, since Fairphone 2 is released in limited quantities.

Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus

You may have already heard of Wileyfox. But if not, then we will tell you.
A lot of the Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus hints at a premium smartphone, but the price is actually surprising (at least in Western Europe).
Wileyfox is a new startup that has paired a smartphone with a large 5-inch 720p display, 32GB of storage, a 16MP camera and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, and is asking for around $ 290 for the whole thing.

For a phone with such characteristics and premium design (in the opinion of English users) the price is very impressive. This way, you can get an unusual piece of England for a modest fee.

Yotaphone 2

If you have not heard about the aforementioned smartphones, then you have definitely heard about this. Yotaphone 2 has attracted a lot of attention (by the way, not only in Russia) with its unique dual display design. One is a traditional 5-inch Full HD display and the other is an e-ink screen on the back. The latter is for some applications and battery saving.

The e-ink display works with some applications such as Facebook, Twitter, RSS feeds, messages, and e-books, and offers much longer battery life than the average full-size display.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.2GHz, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Lumigon T2 HD

Lumigon aims to appeal to the stylish consumer by using the words “elegant” and “exclusive looks.” There is some truth to that, and we must admit that the Lumigon T2 HD has a pleasing design coupled with water and dust impermeability built into the system without sacrificing stylish It has a 4.3-inch 720p display, 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM.

The main camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels, and the built-in memory can go up to 128 GB. The Lumigon T2 HD runs on Android 4.4 KitKat. The price is expressed in Danish kroner - 4449, which is about 39,500 rubles.

Price: $665
Peculiarity: stylish design from a Danish manufacturer
Detailed

Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus

After several years of focusing on low-cost phones, Karbonn has tried to break into a higher class of smartphones and the company has succeeded in its latest offering.

Even though its name sounds like some element of the hadron collider, this low-cost phone managed to achieve excellent sales figures in 2016.

The Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus smartphone runs on Android 4.4.2, has an eight-core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of RAM and a 16MP main camera. Built-in memory is 16 GB expandable with microSD cards up to 32 GB.

Ulefone power

Ulefone offers a smartphone that will often delight you with an endless battery charge. The phone is equipped with a 5.5-inch HD display, fingerprint sensor, Android 5.1 OS, 3GB of RAM and a 64-bit octa-core processor. But its real highlight is the huge 6050mAh battery.


Despite such a battery, Ulefone managed to create a pretty pretty smartphone.

Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition

What you see in front of you is not the iPhone, but the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition. A smartphone with a 5.4-inch display and an eight-core MediaTek processor is certainly not a flagship phone.

It has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and comes in a variety of color options. The front selfie camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels, while the main one is a whole 21 megapixels. But this is not a feature of the smartphone.


The smartphone runs the Ubuntu operating system, the porting effort of which began in 2013 and ended with success in 2015.
