Smartphone makers primarily experiment with colour, material, and finish to design devices that stand out from the rest. Thanks to immense competition, this has become more evident than ever before, resulting in some of the most unique-looking smartphones, even in the entry-level segment.

Here are five such smartphones, launching soon in India with a unique take on design and finish.
