They aren’t necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.
Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I’d love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.
There’s several companies that make phones with built in thermal cameras.
I might have to look those up before the next phone change
They should all have two, one for battery and one for the CPU.
There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.
The pixels is external which is unique I guess.
But that won’t tell you how hot your water is
Your phone is waterproof, isn’t it?
Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.
Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.
Samsung is really good at shipping software garbage software. Also known as bloatware.

Finally someone agrees with me. I swear it felt like I was the only sane person around. The curved edges made no sense design, use, or otherwise.
I managed to mostly skip that BS by going with phones that didn’t use it, but I still had the occasional misstep whenever using someone else’s phone to check out their photo or whatever.
Frankly, I’m happy to see it become less mainstream.
This is very subjective and almost no research low effort article, I think.
I have an LG wing somewhere. Cool phone, but really heavy and the second screen is not useful
I bought an LG Wing on eBay for cheap after LG left the phone business. The intent was to upgrade from my previous phone. I managed to tolerate it for only a week before crawling back to my old phone.
There is no real silly, just how limited our imagination is.
I honestly thought cameras on phones were silly and I think the first gen camera phones were rubbish. Never did I know and maybe nobody knew that mobile web/web 2/social media would be as popular as it is and would probably suffer without them.
