The emphasis of almost everyone has been on the best Android phones which truth be told, you cannot come to a conclusion on that because we are seeing greater phones released every single day. What no one seems to be talking about, however, are the worst Android phones that have been made.
With the first release of some of these phones, it was obvious that they were going to end up on every list of phones you will describe as losers. For others, you would never have guessed that they would end up being a flop because they met the recent technology of their time and even surpassed it. By the way, this list has nothing to do with fake Android phones, as they are real ones that just lost their ways.
Here are the worst Andriod phones ever made
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 7
This was supposed to be one of the best Andriod phone based on how much it was loved, but we all know how the hot phone burnt itself out. The Galaxy Note 7 came with many great features including a premium water resistance body, big battery, wireless charging, beautiful curved display, and a fancy little stylus you could use to jot down notes directly onto the device.
After enjoying a massive sale, the phone turned out to cost Samsung billions of dollars following a recall that saw Samsung either offering a refund or giving newer phones in its place. What makes the phone to top the list of the worst Android phones is that apart from the defect which is something any phone can suffer, Samsung released what it described as the safe model, only for it to burn itself up again. This led to a second recall and subsequently, it gave up on the Note 7, leading to its total untimely demise.
2. Kyocera Echo
If you have not heard of Kyocera, you are not alone. It has not produced anything exactly massive, even though it has made some very adventurous runs. When the talk of Kyocera Echo came up, hopes were indeed high that that could just be the game changer because it was a phone that was going to offer dual screen. Well, it didn’t turn out to be a game changer of any sort.
The first thing about the phone is that it doesn’t seem to be for anyone in particular, neither does it seem like a piece to serve any market. But then, that is not why it is one of the worst- the apps that don’t function well, a battery that does not last, and much more, should be blamed,
Even with its two screens, it didn’t do well as most apps were completely broken when running in “full-screen” mode on both displays. Another drawback is the fact that the device was not powerful enough to run two apps at the same time.

From battery life to friendliness of use and response of apps, almost everything is botched with this phone.
3. Asus Garminfone
Truth be told, ASUS has been quite ok (Not necessarily good) with some of its products, and very excellent when it comes to products for gaming. However, with its collaboration with Germin to make the Germinfone, however, it has taken a rather bad tumble.
First of all, the phone was as ugly as you don’t want a phone to be. Second, it seemed as though it was a rushed product or an experiment. Its navigation is definitely what you won’t need
There was the problem with its OS of customization which was done so much until so much was lost. Inasmuch as we still consider it to be one of the worst Android phones, it still does well when you are looking for a navigation phone.
4. HTC First
You are shocked that HTC is on the list? That is probably because you have not hit by the HTC First. And to think there was much anticipation for the Facebook phone which we have been hearing! When it was released in 2013, the phone came with a 1.6 MP front camera, 5 MP rear camera, while running on Android 4.1.2.
When it came, it had some Facebook built-in capabilities, but that was all. It had no beauty and no grace in functionality. It came with a loud noise but left quietly.
5. Motorola CLIQ
The Moto CLIQ is definitely one of the worst Android phones ever made. This phone is small, built in an odd manner, and ugly. But that out of the way, the phone has a very bad custom overlays we have yet seen on Android phones. More so, it is slow and it just generally doesn’t work as good as one may want.
