The 7 worst Android smartphone names in history

Truth be told: it's no secret that we love smartphones, but, let's be honest, there are several of these devices with, shall we say, strange names. From incomprehensible acronyms to unfortunate puns, some choices made us re-evaluate some points and suggest the obvious: why not select a top 10 with the worst names ever released?

It is important to remember that what is at stake is nothing more than a simple nomenclature. At no time do we question the technology and functionality of each of these devices.

Royole FlexPai

Being the great pioneer of the smartphone market Android collapsible, the Royole had an infinite range of options at hand, but apparently they were content with FlexPai, a pun for being flexible, most likely.

Right or wrong, only time will tell. For now, the smartphone itself has been gaining a good amount of attention for its functionality. The big negative point is exactly because of its name, which, among all the competition, is the least flashy.

palm palm

O palm palm could be an adorable name for a smartphone. But it is not. Small and functional, this device Android also falls into the trap of making a good-natured pun. The honoree of the time are the cheerleaders and their pom poms. Which does not minimize their achievements. Its name may sound strange, but it suits its purpose: to be minimalist.

He might not be the role model Android most effective on the list, but it's your audacity to do more for less that secures your spot here. Be that good or bad.

ZTE Iconic Phablet

ZTE is a pioneer, after all, it was one of the Chinese brands banned from the North American market long before the Huawei to stamp the newspapers as one of the big names behind the trade war between China and the USA. And, around 2014, the brand was still facing the commercial embroilers with a certain optimism when launching the charming phablet.

Until then, its modern design and its large wide screen worked in its favor, except for its name, which doesn't do it justice. Today, the model can already be surpassed and its functions are replaced by the new Samsung Galaxy Note. But let's be honest, phablet is one of the worst most iconic names.

HTC ChaCha/Salsa

This one is for the nostalgic., after all, there's nothing better than this 2011 release than a reference to Latin dances. It is worth remembering that the model came with the operating system Android Gingerbread, which, on the whole, looks even more of a mess. But we cannot fail to give credit to the HTC for its originality.

The great thing about this model so far was its easy connection to Facebook, at the touch of a button, which is an effective reminder of how fast technology has evolved in this decade. The big plus of all is that his update on his favorite social network was accompanied by the following message: “Posted from my HTC Cha Cha”. Fun, no?

Wickedleak Wammy Passion

Wickedleak is a name capable of escaping the commonplace and still flirting with references such as the infamous information folder released by Julian Assange. But it is nothing more than the name of a small Indian company that is not afraid of flashy names.

This 2014 release has as its main attribute, in addition to the flashy and bold name, its hydrophobic layer, which repels any type of liquid, something that, until then, was seen as a pioneer.

Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch

Another model for the nostalgic, this 2011 smartphone from Samsung is marked, in addition to the extravagant name, the title of being one of the most impressive Android available on the market. With a large screen by the standards of the time and a 1.2Gz dual-core processor, it looks like this Samsung Galaxy it had everything but a catchy name.

As the name suggests, the Epic 4G Touch, still made use of the old interface feature TouchWiz, something that, for 2011 anything but epic.

Acer Liquid Plus Zest

O Acer Liquid Plus Zest perhaps it is the example that, at most, what we can say about him is exactly what brings him to this list: his name. Its settings were interesting for the time, including a giant 5.000mAh battery.

However, no detail about this smartphone stands out in any way, except for the name – and not in a good way.

Casio G'zOne Commando

What does this smartphone Android a big favorite is exactly the difficulty of saying exactly how to pronounce your name. Another great example that confirms that 2011 was the year of smartphone launches with the boldest names in the industry, this is a model that a name of questionable quality can be exciting, for all the right reasons.

Whether for its innovative design or its cutting-edge features, the partnership between Casio and Japan's NEC Mobile Communications is a robust cell phone, which, in its time, was a consumer object and was known for its high price. Whether it was worth the investment, only time can confirm.
