1.Samsung Galaxy Book

The Samsung Galaxy book is a Windows machine using Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processor. Although the device packs a massive battery capacity, price and performance ruined everything. For a pretty high price tag, the Samsung Galaxy book 2 delivers a fairly average performance. While the device has a lot of strong points such as impressive battery life and good design with a beautiful touch display, the performance makes it not worth the money.

2.Red Hydrogen One

The Red Hydrogen One powers a quite old processor, Snapdragon 835 SoC which was released in 2017. Not only that the phone also runs on an obsolete version of Android and nonexistent mods. Because Red Digital Cinema is famous for making the high-end 4K cameras, Red Hydrogen One is expected to give an amazing camera experience. However, against all expectations, the quality of the phone's camera is rather worse than its advertisement. For roughly Rs 91,682 ($1,300), Red Hydrogen One certainly doesn't worth it.

3.Microsoft Surface Headphones

Cortana devices are often designed for more convenient and easier access when using. However, the Microsoft Surface Headphones has failed to make it convenient for people to use. Specifically, if you want to access Cortana quickly by saying "Hey Cortana", you need to install an app first. Moreover, all the services of Cortana will be deployed through the voice assistant of Microsoft, which is pretty annoying. Additionally, there are also a number of problems with the headphone's sound, typically subpar noise-canceling and muddy sound. Another glaring disadvantage is the earbuds. It makes most people feel uncomfortable when using. Although it has both weak and strong points, the weakness seems to gain the upper hand.

4. Google Chromecast

Another name in the list of 11 worst gadgets is Chromecast from Google. The device made its debut in 2010 and had very good development for several years. For those who don't already know, Chromecast basically allows you to stream content from your laptop or your phone to a TV via HDMI port. Although everyone had high expectations for the 3rd version of Chromecast, there was no noticeable change in this 2018 edition. The Chromecast is reportedly slightly faster and slightly different interior to the device, but overall it's still very similar to the previous version.

5. Apple HomePod

While the HomePod features amazingly robust audio, it's still considered as one of the worst gadgets in 2018 due to its high price. Compared to its competitors Sonos One, HomePod is sold at twice the price.

6. Coral One

Coral One

Coral One is the 2-in-1 robot vacuum which can easily transform into a convenient handhold. The device is designed for cleaning every nook and cranny of the house. Specifically, the robot mode can clean up everyday messes while the hand-held mode can reach each every corner of the house like the spots or a tiny rolling, things Robot can't normally able to do. However, the worst is that it delivered a weak ability for cleaning power when you are in hand-held mode. Moreover, Coral One also has trouble in navigating when the obstacles presented.

7.HTC U12+

Htc U12 Plus 3 Source Htc

So far, HTC has marked several milestones in the smartphone world. Back in 2008, HTC Dream was rolled out and became the first made-by-HTC smartphone model to run Android. Then, the brand released the HTC Evo 3D which was among the first smartphones to feature dual cameras. Additionally, HTC also paved the way for aluminum body smartphones with the HTC One M7.
However, the HTC U12+ was a big disappointment. The phone has a humble battery life, thick-bezel design, and a touch-sensitive button that received a lot of criticism. Plus, the phone is quite expensive compared to what it can offer.

8.Every head-mounted display

Companies like Oculus, Google and Magic Leap are all supposed to bring the head-mounted display into their spotlight this year. However, the HMD has poor picture quality, no killer app, and lackluster performance. That's why we are seeing this device in the list of worst gadgets in 2018.

9.PowerWatch X

Powerwatch X

A distinguishing feature of this digital watch is the fact that it doesn't require charge like other standard smartwatches instead, it's powered by the heat generated from the human body. Although it features only basic functions such as fitness tracking or timekeeping, the watch is still considered as one of the best gadgets at that time due to its unique charging process. Besides, there is a more expensive model of the PowerWatch called the Power Watch X with super limited notification support. However, for $280, this 2018 version doesn't seem to worth the money.

10.Hyperkin Duke

The Hyperkin Duke doesn't offer much in term of modern-day innovations. Moreover, this wired gamepad also has a big and beefy design. For a little pricey $70, it is not worth the money.

11.Sony WF-SP700N

The last name in the list of worst gadgets 2018 belongs to Sony WF-SP700N. Its bulky-designed makes the wireless earbud difficult to wear for extended periods of time. Additionally, the earbud also packs a humble battery life which can last for only three hours.
