Worst 3 Android Smartphones for 2012

The Android OS has come so far and is expected to stay for a few more years. However, with the large collection of successful Android phones we have in the market today, there were a few major fails as well.
We collected some of the worst Android phones for 2012 and here are the top 3.

Top 1: Samsung Dart
One of the most embarrassing releases goes to Samsung. The Samsung Dart runs Android but besides that fact, there are really no other positive things that you can say about it. It is made of plastic, looks cheap, touchscreen is way too bad, and the worst part? It is too sluggish you can’t even enjoy the fact that it is an Android device.

Top 2: Samsung Replenish
Most of you would have already expected this phone to be in this list. Samsung Replenish is another ugly looking phone from Samsung that runs Android 2.2. The look alone of this phone is enough reason for it to be in this list. It looks like an old Blackberry model running Android OS. No need to say more.

Top 3: Motorola Flip
Another major fail in the Android family is Motorola’s Flip out. It is a square form phone that is so thick that you wouldn’t want to put it in your pocket; it is also way heavy for its specs. The square form might be cute for some but it just can’t do the job. The flip out key pad makes it worst. The microphone pin hole is also hidden in the keypad so you need to flip it out during calls. To top all of that is a very bad touch display.

This is by far the worst Android smartphones for 2012.

For the year 2012, the trend for Android smartphones has definitely gotten on its peak. Since there were a lot of Android phones released this year, here is a list of the top 3 most loved Android phones for 2012.

Windows Joins in Smart-Phone Wagon

Apparently Android smart-phones have been immensely invading the market, and even outmatching the iPhone and the Blackberry in some aspects. And with all these brouhaha among the smart-phones, it is only a matter of time before the ever-ubiquitous Windows joins in the fray. Now, HTC rolls out the new HD7, loaded with the fresh Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system. Will it run sweet in the smart-phone market? The following is a quick overview of the HTC HD7.

Surely, it promises a different kind of smart-phone experience. The Windows 7.5 Mango features a clean and clear tiles interface, which is the same signature look of the erstwhile Windows Phone OS, the Xbox 360 and the Windows 8. The Mango only does it better. This tiles interface looks antiseptic and uncluttered, and those with slight obsessive compulsion may find it visually appealing.

The HTC HD7 runs on a 1 gigahertz Qualcomm Scorpion processor combined with an Adreno 200 GPU, and packs an 8 or 16 gigabyte internal memory and 576 MB of RAM. However, it does not have an expandable card slot. Those who love to fit in their whole media library into smart-phone may not be quite happy about this.

Also, the HTC HD7 carries a single 5-megapixel camera at the back, equipped with a dual-LED flash.
