I think about the Amazon phone, Facebook phones, and Microsoft Kin a lot

Remember Facebook Home, the app that like, replaced a bunch of the Android experience with like, a Facebook launcher and lockscreen?

The HTC First was a pretty neat stock Android phone if you disable the Facebook stuff.
It essentially became like, an updated Nexus 4 iirc? I think it was around that time

There are a lot of interesting failures in smartphones from a few years ago that I absolutely adore

Like, 2013 to 2015 I'd say
Before Samsung became the supreme Android leader with the S6 and every other Android maker actually had a chance and made things

Remember the Sony Xperia Z Ultra?
It's was a massive phone with a 6.44 inch display in 2013
It had a specific way the screen was made that made it so that you could just use a normal pencil or pen as a stylus on it and it wouldn't do anything to the screen
Also, there was a Google Play Edition of it released
