It has been a long time since I have set my eyes upon a Chinese phone only for it to make me shudder to the core! The new Changhong Honphone H1 has the honour of being the worst looking phone of 2013 by far. Take a look at these spy photos to see if you can hold your lunch!
This last year we have been treated to some stunning looking phones from large and small manufacturers alike, but with so many phone makers in China it was only a matter of time before one was beaten with the ugly stick!
Changhong, a rather large electronics brands famous for the TV’s, has just leaked images of it’s H1 smartphone, and it is truly awful! Everything from the tacky pattern on the rear to the gold writing is dreadful. It’s as if the designs went back to the 1970’s took a look at the covers of a public bus and thought they could make something that was even worse looking!
Oddly the nasty exterior to the Changhong Honphone H1 ‘Pegasus’ actually holds some tasty surprises such as a 5.5-inch 1080 display, 13 mega-pixel rear camea, 8 mega-pixel front, 3200mAh battery, 2GB RAM, 32GB memory and an 8-core MT6592 processor!
So what Changhong have done is produce a high-end Android phone which is theft proof (what self-respecting pick pocket would nab this?), unfortunately they have also made is customer resist too!
I love it, wish someone would buy this for me for Christmas and New Year combined and ship it to be freeeee and no strings attached other than promoting this, which would be a task in itself though. This looks ‘uglily beautiful.’
Crazy ugly hell
if it’s very cheap i’d buy and sand paper the sh!t outta it
I think it’s mainly the dreadfully ugly brown color, imagine it with a matte black shell with silver lines and writing and it will look pretty okay.
Its so ugly I think I actually like it.
it is a high-end android phone unless dress up the body 2010′
looks like cheap indian chocolate packet
Its an acquired taste like some people like the “revolting” caviar!
I think anyone who wants to buy one could put it in a rubber ‘bumper’ case to hide the ugly back..I presume the front is black glass and would look ok provided the back was hidden and it seems to be a good spec!
It’s a piece of design from the ’80 with XXI century tech inside, I love it!
Me too.
Every smartphone look so similar, except this.

Crazy ugly hell
there is also a white version which infact looks much better than 90% of the round-edge / egg-shape phones from all kind of brands
Just as I predicted….

It is ugly, but those specs are nice. Maybe once it fails to sell to their expectations it could be grabbed at a bargain price? Its kind of like a girl with a “good personality” it might not turn heads but at the end of the day you are sitting there with a sandwich your girl made for you, watching Boardwalk Empire in 1080p on your fully charged phone, meanwhile some other guy is out there chasing his good looking girl around downtown, hoping she isn’t with another guy as the battery no-so-slowly drains from his good looking phone.
The specs are awesome..finally the battery does justice to the full HDphone..may actually buy this if camera is upto the mark.
With 13MP, it should be.
damn this shit takes me back to the 80s. I want it!

Honphone logo: very ugly
Gold stripes: better not
Brown color: kind of classy, not bad
Lenovo K900 ish design: yes please
Specs: shut up and take my money!
The paint job is by far the biggest fail,you can see its el cheapo.

Well, this is very subjective. It is similar like that some other people don’t like for example how chinese boys look, their color, shape and so on. 🙂
