We love when smartphone manufacturers please us. Alas, this does not always happen. Everyone can make a mistake, and sometimes smartphone manufacturers in the heat of the experiment come to very controversial decisions. Our colleagues from Android Authority remembered several such solutions, which are still capable of indignant fans of Android-smartphones. Let's remember once again all that we did not like.

The disappearance of microSD support.

Support for memory cards for a long time was one of the distinctive features of Android-smartphones. In the iPhone, there was nothing like this, and Android users were given some freedom until the manufacturers decided to take it back. The arguments were different. Excessive connectors and holes prevent manufacturers from protecting the smartphone from moisture. In addition, a memory card with a low read and write speed can negatively affect the performance of devices. However, today manufacturers are able to make combined slots for SIM-cards and microSD. In addition, there is a classification that allows you to easily select the best memory card for your smartphone. Nevertheless, many manufacturers continue to ignore the existence of memory cards.

Modularity from LG.

We will long remember the company LG its failure with the smartphone G5. South Korean company went on a bold experiment, releasing a smartphone with plug-ins. Each module made the device a little better and much more expensive. Alas, there were smartphones that were better without any modules. It's good that LG decided not to continue its experiment.

Pen in Galaxy Note 5.

The bold line of smartphones Samsung Galaxy Note pleased users until the moment it became self-destroying. Galaxy Note 7 did it openly and enchantingly, but Galaxy Note 5 provoked users, coming in a malfunction from their own stylus. It was enough just to insert the pen with the wrong end, and now Galaxy Note 5 is already broken. Annoying miscalculation.

Disappearing NFC in OnePlus 2.

Today, no one doubts that smartphones are useful to equip NFC. This technology is actively used for contactless payments, and paying smartphone is very convenient. Nevertheless, for some reason in the company OnePlus decided that the smartphone OnePlus 2 equip the NFC-module does not necessarily. Representatives of the company said that the owners of the previous flagship used NFC very rarely, which means that this technology is not so important. It seems that the conclusion was not entirely correct. It should be noted that the NFC-module is a very accessible component.

Ultrapixel from HTC.

Smartphone HTC One equipped with a 4-megapixel camera with Ultrapixel technology.

The bottom line was that you can take not by quantity but by size, and pixels of a larger size will give an advantage when shooting under low light. In words, everything sounded logical and attractive, but in fact, the worse the lighting, the lilac picture was given by the camera of the smartphone. Moreover, you could get a completely lilac image if you just close the sensor. It seems that this is not quite the effect that the authors of the unusual term "Ultrapixel".
