Top 10 Worst Smartphone Disasters - 91Tech

[@91Tech]

Any of you ever have any of these smartphones? Any more phones I should've included on this list? Make sure you go follow me over on Instagram & Twitter or my puppy will be very sad @91_Tech

[@davehugstrees]

Good list, I might have also included the Sony Xperia Play. They never released sales numbers but it definitely flopped compared with the hype. Also they stopped updating it within a year and barely sold any games, so probably a big loss for company.

Yeah, tying WP directly to universal apps just failed when universal apps died out. If they had instead built it around android dev compatibility, it might have had a chance, but frankly it's damn hard to break into a 2 party monopoly weirdly late.

[@ZethM182]

The 5c was especially a big hit for kids and younger teens

[@reaperreaper5098]

Because overall sales for the 5C were not that good. Compared to figures for other iPhones, it's abysmal. And it wasn't long before carriers started slashing prices on them, and practically (or in the case of a few carriers, literally) giving them away by the time the 6 rolled around.

[@ThoJoWe]

The problem was that it was only 100$ cheaper than the much better regular iPhone. Had it been like 250$ less it would've been a big hit.

[@shulter21]

At the time the newer, best iPhone model (5s at the time) will cost $649 and the 5C was $549 the price. The iPhone 5 was discontinued by Apple but it was still being sell by every network company like Verizon, att, spring etc. At the same price as the 5C. So the price of the iPhone 5c was to expensive for a plastic phone at the time. So people would either choose to buy the iPhone 5s for $100 more or buy the iPhone 5 for the same price of the 5C with better quality. If the phone would’ve cost $449 that would’ve been a hit.

If windows phone had the same app support as iPhone and Android it would have easily taken off. Especially because of the camera.

The biggest issue with them, that he covered in this video, was app support. That's at least 50% of the reason that your average consumer buys a certain brand of phone, the other being price.

I loved my Nokia Lumia 620 with Windows Phone back in the day. And my mum had a Lumia 520 which was only got rid of a couple of months ago. It was a fantastic operating system, clean, fresh and easy to use. Just a shame it was so late and lacking in apps.

A well balanced review of some of the worst failures

4:37 I still own and use to this day an iPhone 5c, so not a flop for me 😂

I was a diehard win phone guy since the Lumia 920, loved the OS and it was wildly ahead of it's time. The snappy, super responsive, motion focused design and lovely usability... But because of the failure of the whole win 8 universal app platform in general there was no chance for any serious development and it just became a pain in the ass, constantly. Still, I have a lot of good memories of those phones.

How I regret getting the HTC Evo 3d. SMH. Thanks for the video.

My mom had the HTC evo 3D. It ran okay (I used it for a few days too) but the 3D effect was really gimmicky and just looked blurry to me lol.

Great video, I didn't release there was so many other bad phones out there because its been ages. Good job Josh!

You should have put the Essential Phone on the list!

I remember the original Note 7 explosions.

I loved the two Windows Phones I had. Still nothing quite like them. It's a shame that there were so few apps and upgrade options.
