The Nothing Phone 1 is one of the most hyped-up smartphones of the year. But plenty of other devices also deserved this kind of attention -- and failed.
More than almost any other smartphone right now, the Nothing Phone 1 has done an incredible job of making the tech world go head over heels for it. On the one hand, it’s easy to see why. For months, Nothing has been pitching its smartphone as something different in the industry. This is partly thanks to a transparent back, which reveals many of the Phone 1’s internal components that would otherwise be hidden.
That’s exactly what we got with the YotaPhone. Released in 2012, the YotaPhone looked like a standard Android phone from the front. It had a 4.3-inch LCD display, a front-facing camera, and an earpiece for taking phone calls. Nothing out of the ordinary! But when you flipped the YotaPhone over, you were greeted by another 4.3-inch display — this one using E-ink technology.
The main way Nextbit achieved this was with the Robin’s shape. With a completely flat frame and sharp edges, the Nextbit Robin looked unlike anything else on the market, and still does. The back of the phone complemented the aesthetic with a turquoise and white two-tone design, while the front contrasted the Robin’s sharp lines with circular speaker grilles flanking both ends of the display.
Every Asus PadFone also came with a companion tablet. The “tablet” was really just a larger display with a slot on the back for the phone to dock into. When attached, the PadFone powered the tablet display and brought all of your apps, games, and files to a bigger screen. Although the execution was far from perfect, having one device act as the brains for a pocketable phone and a larger tablet remains one of the most unique designs I’ve ever seen.
You could watch a YouTube video while browsing Twitter, look at a digital receipt while also using a calculator, play a game while reading a how-to guide — the possibilities were endless. And when you didn’t want or need the secondary screen, the LG Wing looked and felt like a normal smartphone.
