To atract the customer many leading smartphones menufacture such as Apple, Samsung, Oneplus and Oppo has released their feature loaded smartphones, which failed did not gained much hype and got flopped over the time in the price sensitive market.

Here is a list of few smartphones that flopped in the Indian market due to over price and lack of latest features.

One Plus 9 Series

In case if you are wondering why we have added Oneplus 9 series, which comes good flagships in our flp smartphone of the year? So here is a answer. The Oneplus 9 series is has not garned that much popularity among the users beacuse it shares almost the same features, design as compared to the comapny’s 8T, which was launched in 2020 at the lowest price.

Company’s 9 Series only comes with a new processor and minor improvement in terms of its camera. The firm also removed the metal frame from its body, got rid of the OIS, and increased the price range somwhere around Rs. 45,000, which seems like a bit expensive deal as compared to other phones which comes with far more better features and better camera quality at similiar price.

Samsung Galaxy A72

The company has launched this phone in March 2021 at the starting price of Rs 34,999. If taking about the fetures, then is no doubt in saying that the phone is quite loaded with the good features. But still phone did not gained much popularity in the India market due to its overprice range.

Another drawback of the phone is that all its features that company offered in its Galaxy A72 are already present in Galaxy A52. Therefore, it would be a wise decision for customers to picl Galaxy A52 at the price between Rs 24000 to Rs. 25000.

Nokia 5.4

Nokia one of the reputated company which had give the outstanding smartphones in the fast, but lately the firm has been struggling to win the customer’s heart with its gadgets. The company has launched the 5.4 on February 10, 2021 at the starting price of Rs 16, 799. The phone has been a dispointmnet for the customers due to its performance and worst features.

The phone launched with a simple LCD panel, a 4000 mAh battery, a 10 W charger, SDM 662, and a 48 MP primary camera, but at this price range, cutomers will be better off with other smartphones.

LG W41

The compan has launched the LG W41 on February 22, 2021 at the starting price of Rs 13,500. However, with such specs as 48 MP primary camera, its processor and 5000 mAh battery, this phone should not launched at Rs 8,500, not a single penny above.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE may skip chip upgrade, could reuse Exynos 2400e

Samsung appears to be following a conservative route for its upcoming Galaxy S25 FE, with reports suggesting that the smartphone will feature the same Exynos 2400e chipset used in last year’s Galaxy S24 FE. While the tech giant has not officially confirmed the device’s launch, leaks hint that the handset—codenamed R13—is already under development.

According to internal code seen by the media, the Galaxy S25 FE carries the codename siop_r13s_s5e9945, confirming its chipset as Exynos 2400/2400e. This is the same processor seen in the Galaxy S24 FE, indicating that Samsung may skip a processor upgrade this year.

If accurate, this decision places the S25 FE behind newer premium chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and MediaTek Dimensity 9400, potentially making the device less powerful in comparison to flagship competitors in 2025.

The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to launch towards the end of Q3 or early Q4 2025, as a more affordable variant of the Galaxy S25 series. Much like its predecessor, it will likely aim to strike a balance between performance and price, appealing to cost-conscious consumers.

Last year’s Galaxy S24 FE, launched in September 2024, came at a price of Rs. 59,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model. It featured a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 50MP triple rear camera, 10MP selfie camera, 4700mAh battery, and support for Galaxy AI features. If Samsung follows suit, the S25 FE could retain many of these specifications, making only minor hardware or software tweaks.

The report also mentions that the Indian variant of the Galaxy M36 5G may be powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset, the same one used in the Galaxy M35 5G. This suggests Samsung might be keeping things uniform across its mid-range portfolio for 2025.
