We often look at the design and appearance of a mobile phone before planning to buy it. Mobile manufacturing companies often try to deliver innovative and unique phone designs to customers, but sometimes the dice get rolled in the wrong direction and what comes out is a weird-looking and awkward design.
Let’s take a look at some of the weirdest and craziest phone designs ever made:
Although Nokia ventured into the dedicated gaming phone market via the Nokia N-Gage, it became an instant failure because of the buttons used in it. They were neither well-suited for gaming nor had a proper design to be used as a phone. Released in Q4 of 2003, the Nokia N-Gage featured a 2.1-inch display with a resolution of 176 x 208 (130 ppi). Other than gaming, the mobile also had an MP3 player.
A part of Nokia’s stylish L’Amour Collection, the Nokia 7380 also added itself to the list of weirdest-looking phones when it was released in 2005. It’s the successor to the Nokia 7280 “lipstick” phone. It featured a very small and reflective screen that doubled as a mirror, a sensory navigation key, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The Motorola V70 had a swiveling circular monochrome panel with a neon backlight pad. It was launched around 20 years ago for about $400 with facilities such as GPRS support, a WAP browser, a vibrating mode, and voice dialing too. But the weird design of the phone didn’t last long.
