They aren’t necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.

Finally someone agrees with me. I swear it felt like I was the only sane person around. The curved edges made no sense design, use, or otherwise.
I managed to mostly skip that BS by going with phones that didn’t use it, but I still had the occasional misstep whenever using someone else’s phone to check out their photo or whatever.
Frankly, I’m happy to see it become less mainstream.
They were annoying from a reparability perspective but they did look good. I suspect many of the people who had problems with accidental touches didn’t understand how to hold a smartphone (using pinky as support at the bottom). I actually saw a reviewer complaining about this on a new phone recently, and the way they were holding it made absolutely no sense.
Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I’d love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.
There’s several companies that make phones with built in thermal cameras.
Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.
Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.
Samsung is really good at shipping software garbage software. Also known as bloatware.
There is no real silly, just how limited our imagination is.
I honestly thought cameras on phones were silly and I think the first gen camera phones were rubbish. Never did I know and maybe nobody knew that mobile web/web 2/social media would be as popular as it is and would probably suffer without them.
This is very subjective and almost no research low effort article, I think.
