We’ve seen lots of smartphones launched this year, some good and some bad but today, I’ll briefly highlight my worst phones of 2017.
iPhone 8: It failed completely. It failed to light up the industry. The device overshadowed by not just one, but two superior Apple-branded smartphones ended up becoming the victim of its own hype.
iPhone 8 failed to get any love from its fans and even from the company. It is one of the worst phone of 2017.
Nokia 2: Even though the year 2017 has been great for Nokia under HMD Global leadership, seeing Nokia 8 as the company absolute winner for the year; Nokia 2 was a disappointment comparing it with the likes of other budget smartphones like Redmi 5A, it fails in spec and price tag.
Nokia 2 comes with a boring spec, 1GB Ram + 8GB onboard memory with high price tag. It shouldn’t have existed.
Pixel 2 XL: Pixel 2 XL exposed the frailties of Google's Pixel program in its current state. Though the device absolutely shines on the spec sheet and boasts of Qualcomm's top-of-the-line 835 SoC, 4GB RAM, 64GB or 128GB internal storage, sadly its beautiful 6-inch 2880 x 1440 (QHD) pOLED display has been found to be ridden with issues that quite frankly prove to be a deal breaker.
Shortly after its launch, reports emerged that the phone's display was riddled with bugs and issues were not just posing as slight inconveniences, but likely problems that could doom its future. Reviewers found the display on the Pixel 2 XL to be muted, washed out, and have a weird blue/green tint to it, while some users even reported serious screen burn-in issues with the new device.
HTC U Ultra:
I love HTC phones but this totally is a disappointment. The U Ultra also falls in the same bracket. The device came with emotion demoralizing spec sheet for a phone of its price, but what crippled it the most was the loss of essentials such as water resistance, a bulky form factor, a fragile glass body and the lack of a headphone jack.
For me, these are the worst phone of 2018… You can lists yours using the comment.
