I've used Android phones for 10 years, I hate these the most | Digital Trends

I’ve been using and reviewing Android smartphones for at least a decade, and during that time, I’ve spent time with a massive variety of devices that mostly fall into three distinct categories: good, passable, and bad. But what about the ones that have really stirred my emotions in a negative way? The phones that have elicited a visceral, guttural response? I’m not talking about the ones I love, but the ones I’ve downright hated.

Related This isn’t the reason I hate it, though. I hate the Pixel 4 because of the way it looks. It’s easily one of the dullest, least attractive phones I’ve seen, with almost no creativity in the design at all. Flat on the back, flat on the front, and with massive bezels around the screen. Google even managed to make the glass back feel cheap and unpleasant.

The fact it was too expensive upon release wasn’t the problem. It was the keyboard, and considering the brand we’re talking about, this was a crime. Ergonomics was clearly a banned word when designing this awful phone; it was badly balanced, heavy, and poorly laid out. Combine this with the keyboard’s sticky, tiny keys and high separator bars between them, and the whole thing was awkward and unrewarding to type on. The learning curve was ridiculous for anyone coming from a touchscreen.

I hated the other phones mentioned so far because they could have been so much more, but I hated the Astro Slide because it was genuinely terrible. Planet Computers is a small manufacturer, so it will always get some leeway. And if it was a prototype or a work in progress, I’d have been more forgiving, but it was apparently the phone people who paid for it would receive. I still feel very sorry for all of them.

Nokia G11 Cheap doesn’t have to mean atrocious, but the 2022 Nokia G11 is close to being that bad. It’s another phone on this list that I couldn’t bring myself to fully review. This wasn’t just because of the awful screen, creaky processor, or aging, bug-ridden software, but because it didn’t actually meet its one, big selling point: three-day battery life.

'We carry these phones all day, every day. Making them look decent is as important as having good battery life' Am I missing something or are we not supposed to protect our phones with a case or cover? I never ever take a phone's'look' into consideration bc I add my look after.
