Gimmick

Had some good ideas, but the dual screen solved no real problem and the phone was too expensive.

A phone with a built-in projector whose other specs were sacrificed, so nobody bought it (5/10 fail).

A quirky, gimmick-heavy Note 4 with a curved edge screen that was historically important for Samsung's later curved designs.

A 128MB USB stick sold as a 5G force field, which he calls a deliberate scam and a total waste of money.

The 3D effect works better than expected, though the resolution is lacking and it's a bit gimmicky.

A party trick that pauses games and videos when you look away; he would not use it himself.

A cheap-looking case that redirects the flash as a notification light; he found it interesting but wouldn't recommend buying it.

Shows apps as words sized by usage; a novelty but an interesting one.

Solidly specced, but its headline features are gimmicky and you can do better for the money.

Similar to the Oppo Find X but with an in-display fingerprint scanner, headphone jack and lower price, making it better value.

Cool to see but not something he'd recommend, and electromagnets are bad for phones.

A hat with built-in wireless drivers that he found embarrassing to show off.

Cheaper than expected and a fun novelty with built-in games, but not polished or deep.

Found it laughably impractical, folding into a triangular prism that cannot be pocketed.

Convincing curved-screen effect that is interesting to see but not something he would personally use.

A great concept, but the flying part often lands too close to be useful and the controls feel cheap.
