Not every smartphone is a winner. Check out the handsets that will only crush your mobile dreams.

Though it's competitively priced off-contract, the Grand X is hardly worth the trouble. Its dual-core processor is glacial, its low-res touchscreen isn't responsive to the touch, and it ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box -- making it dated the moment you start using it. If you don't mind a bigger display, its Grand X Max+ phablet counterpart is a much better device. Read the full Grand X review.

Aimed toward emerging smartphone markets and users on a budget, the Orion Pro X500 is inexpensive and has dual SIM card slots. Unfortunately, its poor 5-megapixel camera, hefty build, and fuzzy 5-inch display outweigh its pros. Read the full Orion Pro X500 review.

Also called the LG G3 Beat or G3 Mini, the LG G3 S just isn't the bargain buy we were looking for. Cheaper than the LG G3 original and only a little smaller (5-inches!), its price is too high to support the low- to midgrade specs. The phone isn't bad per se, but bargain-hunters should look to other options, like the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact or one of the Motorola Moto G variations. Read the full G3 S review.

The budget California-based phonemaker is better known overseas for its inexpensive Android handsets than it is in its own borders. Though its low price and specs like 4G LTE support and 5-inch display may sound alluring, a poor 5-megapixel camera and low-screen resolution only begin to outline the phone's failings. Read the full Quantum review.
