Special Feature: A Look at Unique Smartphones of 2014 [PHOTOS]

It is true that the sales of Apple iPhone 6 has been phenomenal since the device made its debut in September, and it will continue to sell well. Even so, despite being a huge hit, the iPhone 6, has failed to attract the same kind of attention from critics, as the BlackBerry Passport.

Like the BlackBerry Passport, we've handpicked 10 smartphones with a difference. All selected smartphones are unique in their own style.

Here's a complete list in no particular order. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!

HTC Desire Eye

HTC Desire Eye

Well, we've had seen a number of selfie-centric smartphones over the past year. No one comes so close to perfection, as the HTC Desite Eye. The phone comes with a 13MP camera on the rear and a 13MP camera on the front. Other than having dual-cameras, the phone sports a 5.2-inch FHD display, a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM and LTE connectivity.

Asking price - Rs 35,000

 

BlackBerry Passport

BlackBerry Passport

The BlackBerry Passport looks different from the rest. It comes with a square screen with an odd resolution. The Passport has a physical keyboard that'll surely appeal to loyal BlackBerry phone fans. Plus, the new BlackBerry 10.3 mobile OS includes support for Android apps via the Amazon Appstore.

Asking price - Rs 45,000

 

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
 

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge

The Galaxy Note Edge is a unique combination of high-end specs and futuristic design. The QHD "Curved" edge screen is truly dazzling, and the quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor can do so much more. Also, there's a 16MP rear-facing camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) can go head-to-head with the iPhone 6 Plus.

Asking price - Rs 64,990

 

Lenovo Vibe X2

Lenovo Vibe X2

Lenovo has done a brilliant job with the Vibe X2. The layered look might not appeal to a large section, but there is no denying its premium-looking handset. Notably, the specs sheet isn't bad either.

Asking price - Rs 19,000

 

Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Samsung's first metal phone, the Galaxy Alpha, seemed to have impressed us. It's not totally metal-bodied, but it definitely gave Samsung a big chance to prove its critics wrong. As far as its specs are concerned, the Galaxy Alpha sports a 4.7-inch HD display and a 12MP rear-facing camera.

Asking price - Rs 37,000

 

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

Dubbed as the W900, the Gionee-made is a clamshell smartphone. It packs two Full HD displays on two sides of the flip phone. The 1080p resolution makes Gionee W900 the world's first smartphone with two full HD displays. The device is to be launched in India.
