This year we´ll see incredible smartphones that are going to be extremely difficult to choose from, given the fact that there´s a lot of interesting brands and devices that offer the most stunning specs and features. In every single year, there´s the best, the worse, the overrated and the snubbed product, being this last one of the worst categories a mobile device could end. Unfortunately, here are 3 smartphones that will suffer this injustice.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX Evo
The problem of being the second-best company in any country is that the one that is in the first place is gonna get the flashes almost every single day, to the point in which even when it managed to offer a better product, it is quite possible that this second-best company ends up being less famous and less popular. Of course, this is exactly what happens to Xiaomi, doomed to be the one behind Huawei in China, which in addition is the most important smartphone company in Asia and is also the third-largest smartphone maker in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple.
Naturally, this makes that almost every year, if we hear about any Chinese smartphone, Huawei is going to sound great all the time. Although Xiaomi is going to release the Mi MIX Evo, which promises to be an outstanding mobile device that even when it managed to excel expectations, no one is going to pay attention considering that Chinese smartphones are going to get to the U.S. market this year, and everyone will only care about the most popular.
LG G6: Samsung´s Main Competitor in South Korea
This is another example of the way in which the main consequence of being the second-best company is getting underrated, given the fact that when the competition is in a global market, it's really difficult that fame and popularity are not achieved by the number-one company. In this case, the country is South Korea, and the players are Samsung and LG, two companies that are characterized for releasing great products and outstanding mobile devices.
Nevertheless, smartphones business is the field in which LG is just the second-best company in the Asian nation, while Samsung is not only the first but also the biggest smartphone maker in the world. If you think that this is the only reason why nobody will care about the upcoming LG G6 you´re totally wrong, given the fact that Samsung is going to release one of the most anticipated flagships in the history, and what happened with the Galaxy Note 7 will only boost expectations and the notoriousness of this mobile device.
The BlackBerry Mercury: Doomed By The QWERTY Keyboard
BlackBerry Mercury´s case is not exactly the same as the previous smartphones, but considering that is an old famous brand that is trying to recover its old importance, Nokia will be way more famous and popular than this mobile device. Also, the big issue that customers will see about this BlackBerry´s flagship is its QWERTY keyboard, given the fact that this is not exactly a synonym of modernity and innovation, and is quite likely to be the phone´s doom rather than its salvation, considering that only the brand´s fans will see it as something outstanding instead of something cheesy, which it seems the way in which the rest of the people will see it.
Does this make the mobile device something worth to be snubbed? Definitely not, since the BlackBerry Mercury is actually a phone that wears such spectaculars specs and features that it should compete against the greatest brands. However, it will definitely be underrated and won't gain the popularity that it deserves.
