The 30 Worst-Named Phones Of All Time (Part 2)

16. HTC Windows Phone 8X

Remember when HTC decided to name its phone after the Windows Phone 8X operating system? If Samsung dis the same thing, we would probably have the “Samsung Galaxy Android”.

17. Panasonic Eluga

The Panasonic Eluga was first introduced in 2012, which was a mid-range Android device sold abroad. But to give it a meaningless name was such a terrible idea. What does eluga even mean?

18. HP Pre 3

The tongue-twister name isn’t why the HP Pre 3 never joined the US market. Rather, it was mismanagement and bad sales that costed WebOS’ opportunites in the mobile platform competition.

19. HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa

It still remains a history as to what encouraged HTC to name its devices after famous Latin dances. Luckily, AT&T decided to change the ChaCha to the HTC Status when it hit the US market. However, its performance on the market was not that great.

20. LG Optimus Vu

If you want your audience to pronounce your product’s name as “view” instead “voo”, go ahead and name your product like the LG Optimus Vu. Verizon decided to cut off all lingustic problems by changing the product’s name to LG Intuition, which is still a vague name, to be honest.

21. Casio G’zOne… anything

Everything about this name was awful, from the random capitaliation to the apostrophe. Oh, and in case you are curious how it’s supposted to be pronounced. It’s “jeez-WUN”.

22. Samsung :)

Yes, this is not a joke. The Korean tech giant actually decided to name its phone after an emoji.

23. Samsung Messager

Another Samsung product with a disastrous name which can make grammarians horrified.

24. Cricket MSGGM8 and TXTM8

MSGGM8 which stood for message mate and TXTM8 for text mate. Two phone names that sounded like some kind of coding, which none of us could even remember.

25. LG Optimus Black

We were wondering if the marketing team of LG was lacking idea for its phone name and was desperate enough to put the phone color in the name. In the US, Boost Mobile and Sprint named it the LG Marquee, which at least sounded much better.

26. HTC One

HTC One, what? It is a good phone, but with a name trailing off like that, it can leave consumers feeling a bit confused.

27. LG Chocolate

There is nothing about the LG Chocolate that can be associated with a chocolate. Is it the shape of a candy bar and the liquid music features the company want to promote? They should have tried “LG Musiq”.

28. Motorola Citrus

Another food-themed name that made consumer wondered what happened when the company was coming up with name ideas.

29. LG Fusic

We have never been able to figure out whether the name “Fusic” was a combination of “music” and “fun”. Or it might be something else that is totally different from what we guessed.

30. Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch

Officially known as the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, which is also one long name for a phone. By the time it enter the market, Sprint had decided to cut off some words, which made it more manageable, the Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
