Overhyped vs. Reality 📱💭

🔸 What’s a gadget that got massive hype but totally let you down once you tried it? 😤

Maybe it promised magic-level performance but ended up being just… meh 🫠

💠 Be specific, what part didn’t live up to the marketing promise? 👇🏻

📌 Use the hashtag #OverhypedTech 🏷️

Let’s expose the tech that talked big but delivered small ⚡

#OverhypedTech

For me, it was my first smartwatch. At the time, I thought I was going to feel like Michael Knight calling Kitt, but I had a reality check.😅🤣

The first time I had my #OverhypedTech was when I bought some JLAB brand headphones, more than a purchase it was a gift but I asked for it

The problem came later because apparently the model I had was smaller (it looked like a child’s model) and I got tired of using it because it didn’t fit my head 🎧

Menguelez which model did you go for?

Menguelez That’s right, my first apple watch wasn’t that great of an experience, also when the new one came out they did not bother pushing out the new feature updates to the previous watch that I had. :(

dsmonteiro one chinese brand which made smartwatches look like apple watch series 1 😅

Menguelez worst way to try to hype yourself to a new technology form factor :D

For me, that piece of #OverhypedTech was the HTC One X. I loved HTC Desire, my first Android device, bought 15 years ago (!), so when I wanted to upgrade, I had no doubt in my mind that the HTC One X was the perfect fit. It had the powerful Nvidia Tegra processor, the display was crisp and bright, and the design was right up my alley.

The problem was… when I started using the device. The processor was as hot as it was powerful, and the software was very bloated. The situation was so bad I quickly upgraded to the Nexus 5.

For me, it was the Nintendo Wii U. I loved the idea of a second screen, but few games really used it well. Great concept, weak execution 🙃

Haha, classic Apple move 😅
They always find a way to make us want the next version instead of improving the one we already have!
