What was the worst year for smartphones in recent memory?
In my opinion, 2015 was the worst year for smartphones in recent memory. It wasn't completely terrible, but it was a bit underwhelming coming from 2014 with a pretty solid array of smartphones.

**Wow.** That was my reaction when first testing this thing. Even the questionable operating system skin isn't that bad. It gave me a new phone "butterfly" feeling. A pre-applied screen protector and basic case? NICE! Huawei and Android have some exceptionally awesome features.
