These smartphones disappointed in 2016


Every often analyzes it at the end of the year. What happened and what not. The 2016 was a mixed year for the smartphone. But some phones and developments disappointed us. Let’s take a look on those smartphones that could not meet expectation.

Freedom 251

Freedom

There is no harm in dreaming, but look that can be fulfilled. This thing fits perfectly on the Ringing Bells Freedom 251 smartphone. By now you must have remembered the full story of a smartphone of Rs 251. The handset for just Rs 251 was nothing bigger than this. But the atmosphere of curiosity cooled down. The situation started becoming clear. A phone of Rs 251 was also launched in the market, many also booked for this, but how many got it? Will keep looking for the answer to this question. Now the situation is that there have also been reports of CEO resignation from the company.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7
The situation for Samsung suddenly deteriorated after the start of the year with the Galaxy S7 Edge. And this time the reason was … Samsung Galaxy Note 7. When the phone was launched, it was highly appreciated. But suddenly there were reports of phone blast during charging. And gradually it took the form of infectious disease. The situation deteriorated so much that the company finally stopped making this phone. And called the phones that were sold back.

Moto G series
There is nothing wrong in capitalizing on the hit formula. Motorola has also been doing this with the Moto G series. But in 2016, the company in a way spread this formula to raita. In the Moto G series, not one or two, the entire three phones were launched- Moto G4, Moto G4 Play and Moto G4 Plus. There is a difference of about Rs 2,000-3,000 in all three variants. Even though the company’s strategy must have been to give a choice for customers at all costs. But he worked in a way to put his customers into confusion. A few months later, the company launched Moto E3 Power for Rs 7,999, ie another option. Now see how much confusion it is going to be from the customer’s perspective. The most funny thing is that the owner of Motorola is the company Lenovo. And in the Indian market, Lenovo is continuously introducing smartphones in this price range. Sometimes it seems that the company is rioting more than others.

LG G5
LG cannot be accused of not using smartphone technology. But often there is some lack, due to which the phones are not able to become popular. The LG G5 is the company’s first modular phone. After the disappointment of LG G4, many LG fans were eagerly waiting for it. But the same old shortage surprised everyone. We are talking about the price. It was launched for Rs 52,990. Today, you will get around Rs 36,000. At the time of launch, when we reviewed the phone, he said, ‘The build quality could have been better. Metal body is given but it does not give many other flagship smartphones to feel. “It was also an average phone in terms of design. Apart from this, you will have to loose your pocket to take full advantage of the modular function.

Google Pixel

Google-Pixel-XL

The year 2016 will also be remembered as the entry of Google brand in the smartphone market-Pixel and Pixel XL. It was claimed that these smartphones have the best camera ever. And Google Assistant was made public for special pixel phones. But by the end of the year, this phone started becoming part of the headlines every other day due to the wrong reason. When you buy a handset by spending more than 50 thousand money, then there is only one thing in your mind that it just keeps going. But in the last one or two months, a lot of pixels have been exposed, such as LTE connectivity, many times camera freeze, double tap gesture not working properly and for some people, this phone came to a complete standstill. To be honest, it will not be easy for this handset to make a dent in the popularity of the iPhone for this handset.

Personally, disappointment is also the closure of the Nexus brand. Because in the mid range it was a premium -like brand for common users. But now Google’s eye directly on the flagship segment. In such a situation, now we have to think about the second option.
