5 smartphones that didn't make it - From the phone that could only read tweets to the Nokia with Sonic and Tomb Raider

If today the world of smartphones seems a market divided equally between Apple and Samsung, the last twenty years have seen the succession of more or less unsuccessful experiments and hybrids. Since the announcement of the first iPhone in 2007, companies around the world have tried to respond to Cupertino's hegemony by offering often imaginative options, including respect for tradition and attempts to stand out that ended very badly. Despite some laudable attempts, it is not difficult to understand how we arrived at a situation of almost clear duality in which, after a process of natural selection, only the strongest survived.

nss magazine has collected for you the definitive list of all the smartphones that have not made it, to remember the mistakes of the past so as not to repeat them.

When we talk about the N-Gage we are perhaps talking about the history of the technological world, but above all about one of the first demonstrations of Nintendo's total hegemony in the world of portable consoles. Designed to rival the Game Boy Advance, the Nokia N-Gage wanted to combine the gaming experience with that of a smartphone in a strange hybrid that expressed all the security of Nokia, at the time the undisputed leader of the mobile world. With an ugly and not very functional design, the N-Gage presented itself to the public with only six titles, very few compared to those available at the time for the Nintendo competition. And if those buttons seem awkward to play, you should have tried making a phone call.
