Concept & rare

An extravagant autonomous concept with a bendable 65-inch TV, seven projectors and 42 speakers that impressed him with its media quality.

Fun and Lego-like, but modular phones create e-waste and are not a good idea for any company in 2025.

He liked it more than expected, especially the second screen tricks, but big foldables have absorbed its functionality so it is not needed.

A surprisingly nice ultra-tall, one-handed phone with a clever diagonal keyboard, but not a game changer.

The closest an e-ink phone has come to feeling like a normal smartphone, and a game changer for anyone wanting flexible minimalism, despite…

Impressive detail on the back showing the robot's inner parts and a great theme, though the games icon is a gun.

Chaotic, with a clever NFC case that changes the wallpaper and suits the anime style, but not to his taste.

The wackiest of the three, packaged like a treasure chest with lots of accessories and plenty of love in the custom animations and icons.

Absurdly rare, but it is a completely standard black iPhone 16 Pro, so he gives it an F.

He calls it the greatest camera phone in existence, praising the pin-connected magnetic lens and its results.

The most convincing concept phone he has used, with a clever attachable camera, though battery life and lens quality fall short and mainstr…

He kept it in a cabinet until police borrowed it for an investigation and never returned it.

A phone that looked like a scam and turned out to be part of an enormous internet-wide scam.

Well-detailed packaging and back design, but inconsistent icon theming leave it as a quarterfinals-level phone; he gave it 5/10.

A dark, cleverly themed limited edition with a real mirror back and great packaging, held back slightly by an impractical mirror selfie ide…

Great packaging and back design, but the phone itself is a stock experience made only to generate movie hype; he gave it 3/10.

Charming, lavish packaging and themed software, but it feels like a toy and works no better than a phone at half the price; he gave it 6/10.

Light and appealing in theory, but too limited to replace a smartphone, and he scored it 4/10.

The original brick died in water and smashed in the drop, so its legend is overstated compared with the new XR21.

The Caviar phone survived an air rifle pellet completely unmarked with a working screen, though he gives no buying verdict.

A tiny, adorable phone with a 1-inch screen that is hard to actually type on.

A movie-themed phone with an unboxing full of Harry Potter references, which he calls magical.

A BMW-themed phone sold in a car bonnet box with posters, coins and custom software.

A fake folding iPhone that is actually a feature phone, but not terrible value as a novelty with a very bright torch.
