5 Weird Smartphones You’ve Probably Never Heard Of by Temilayoborbor(m): 10:32pm On Jul 22, 2016
Smartphones are everywhere and almost everyday, new devices keep entering the already saturated market. Popular brands keep releasing phones and obscure ones try to take what they can from the market share, but there’s only one problem — these devices are practically almost the same. The specifications may vary and physically, the designs are different but they do almost the same thing.
Well, there are few of these devices that are just innovative, sometimes is a weird way. These are devices you won’t find on the shelf everywhere.

This isn’t your regular smartphone and you’ve probably never come across it. It isn’t just a phone, you can actually smoke this device like a vapors.
Attaching the liquid cartridge that costs about $15 lets you smoke all you want as you can get up to 800 puffs from just one cartridge. The device has a 5.3-inch screen and costs $299.

2.[b][/b]Yota YotaPhone 2
This phone is actually innovative and I really like it. Have you ever see a phone with two screens? One at the front and the other at the back? At first, this may sound like a bad idea but the company gave a valid reason for coming up with this strange idea.
The front has a Full HD AMOLED screen but the back screen isn’t the regular screen you see on smartphones. The secondary screen is a grayscale e-ink display that doesn’t draw much power. This means if you’re trying to save some battery juice, using the secondary display makes sense for mundane tasks and you won’t need to fire up the AMOLED display all the time.

3.[b][/b]Turing Phone
If you think Blackberry Priv is secure, perhaps it’s because you haven’t heard about this device being touted as the world’s most secure smartphone. This isn’t just about software security, the device is said to be made of some sort of weird metal called Liquidmorphium which is supposedly stronger than steel and titanium.
It runs Sailfish OS 2.0 and comes with 3GB RAM. It comes with a 5.5 inch screen with full HD
display.

4.[b][/b]Vertu Signature Touch
If all you want to do is just show off how rich you are, then this device is specifically made for you. Imagine a phone that costs $13,700! Well, that’s for the pure red gold version. You can get it at a much lesser price of $6500 if you opt for the calf leather version.
You’re probably asking why anyone would spend that much on a smartphone, right? This device is Bentley-branded and its hand-crafted using premium materials like alligator skin and sapphire crystal glass. The body is also made of Grade 5 titanium.

5.[b][/b]NoPhone
This isn’t actually a real phone but a useless piece of brick. It’s a phone that does nothing. No phone calls, no messssges, no camera, no internet, nothing.
If you’re addicted to your smartphone and you’re more than wiling to break this addiction, this useless device is exactly what you need.
