1.Nokia N-Gage
Company announced it's launch in 2002when Nokia was one of the best cellphone company in the world.It was going to be launched in October 2003.It was basically a smartphone and a handheld gaming console.Due to it's design it was known as Taco phone.It was having a 2.1 inch of screen and no camera module was there. It's design and speakers quality along with the promises that company failed to deliver led it to failure.Here is some more snaps of this model
another reason of failure may the awkward style of holding the phone during calls😂
2.Amazon Fire Phone
Amazon's CEO introducing amazon fire phone in june 2014 |
Amazon fire phone was the phone that led company to $170 million loss.There was the handful of reasons the fire phone flopped but the main reasons were the price and it's concept. Price of this model was around $200.Apart from these factors the main concept that was presented in front of the people was that they can direct buy the amzon website's product but why someone will buy this phone only for this feature.It had good features though but that was not sufficient to make the price reasonable for this phone like 13 MP rear camera and 2.2 GHZ Quad core processor .
3.HTC First
Facebook is one of the most popular app in any phone,looking at success of facebook the social media giant decided to launch their own phone in order to cut out the middle man.Partnering with HTC they introduced their first mobile phone HTC First.The OS of this phone was basically the hacked version of android with facebook skin.The idea was that the home screen will be filled with facebook gadegts like any new message and notification.That's all about this phone was.Later it earned a name 'Facebook phone😅😆'
4.Palm Pre.
This is the only phone in the list of failure models but it was loved among people.This was operating on WebOS a LINUX based mobile operating system. It was launched in 2009.It had a number of features like card based multitasking .It was loved because of software not because of the design.It was build with plastic body frame that was considered as cheap body structure and later on some more problems were reported like issue about headphone jack and people thought that sliding design may become loose and wiggly even after gentle use.The second main issue was it was not having a proper and separate app store like Apple and Google.
5.Red Hydrogen One
This was the model with pushing the limits of smartphones if it got launched.It was having a great cinematic display ,A Holographic Display but the price was too high 92000 indian rupees. It was too much for this model. Even it would reasonable but it was not launched in the market. Later after a period CEO of this company Jannard announced that it will not launch and blamed Chinese manufacturare for not making this model as desired.
