killamch89 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I'd say the Samsung Galaxy s4 Zoom camera/phone hybrid's camera. I'm glad it didn't catch on but it was definitely the most unique feature that I've ever seen on a smartphone to date. Do you agree or do you have something else in mind? Please share down below.

Empire Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 For me it was the People Hub on Windows Phone. Facebook, Twitter, I think even whatsapp all in one place, no advertisements, you could instantly see what all your contacts were sharing. But like all great things, it was very quickly broken Shortie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows phone OS is a primary example - sometimes the device won't get updated for close to a year and major issues reported were often addressed months after and sometimes the fix was useless.

Glad that they stopped doing phones then, XD and stick to what they do best. I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone was great, don't get me wrong and I still have it stored somewhere in the house and I know it still works but as you say it very soon ended up broken and no longer worked as it should. It was nice to have everything in one place when it did work though, it's a shame Microsoft has a track record of breaking good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it had lots of potential but they never maintained it properly. On 3/13/2023 at 1:17 PM, Shortie said: I always remember this myself back when I had a Windows phone.

I ended up getting rid of it. Edited March 14, 2023 by killamch89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I'd say on the phone device itself, was a fan that would keep it cool built into the actual phone. I believe that I saw it on one of those ROG phones which are really just made for gaming on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROG phones have had that feature for the past 2/3 generations of their gaming phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The most unusual feature I have seen on a smartphone is a built-in projector that can display images and videos on a wall or flat surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
