I bought the strangest smartphones ever.

A ridiculous soap-washable phone that surprisingly keeps working even when covered in shaving cream.

An odd relic with a built-in projector that works impressively well with no lag.

Probably not a good phone, but the thermal camera is a seriously cool feature.

A very cool collectable Star Wars phone with metal build and detailed themed software.

The dark side version of the Star Wars phone is equally cool, with red and black themed software.

The best phone of the haul, with a great camera and 120W charging, good enough for his best of 2020 list if it were global.

A knockoff that nails the look but fakes a camera and has dead pixels.

A $70 copy of a $50,000 phone with fake buttons and an awful camera, only good for showing off.

A Wish.com fake iPhone that looks nothing like the real thing.

A $20 Devialet Phantom lookalike that sounds better than expected despite one-sided sound.

A cheap $34 writing tablet that he enjoyed trying.

Surprisingly not horrendous, though he should have picked a colour that matched his phone.

Unique, sturdy and well built, but ergonomically it breaks nearly every rule, so it's clear why it didn't take off.

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

A chunky feature phone with 6,000mAh battery and built-in earphones that is fun even if the sound is bassy.
