impractical novelties
Smartphones that shouldn't exist are tested, from modular phones with swappable parts to a phone that doubles as a purse and a wrist-worn device. Most are impractical novelties, but a few offer unique utility.
- 🧰 The "Side Phone" featured swappable modules for a number pad or iPod-like scroll wheel, but the scroll wheel was just buttons.
- 👜 The "Honor Magic Purse" phone integrated into a purse, featuring a virtual purse display that reacted to motion sensors.
- 🧘 The "Balance Phone" used a sealed Samsung S25 with custom software to block distracting apps and adult content, making it a digital detox device.
- 🔦 The "Ulefone Power Armor 13" (mistakenly called WP100 Titan) boasted a massive 33,000 mAh battery, a built-in projector, a powerful camping light, and night vision.
- ⌚ The "Nubia Alpha" was a wrist-worn smartphone with a flexible OLED display, but its practicality was limited by its aspect ratio and gesture controls.
