6 flagship smartphones that came defective or broken out of the box

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" - is what wise people say. Apparently, said people of profound wisdom never had their brand new high-end smartphone handed to them looking like it got through all of history's bloodiest conflicts at once. Which is strange, as it is a known fact that smartphones see the highest return rate among electronic devices, the main reason being defective products. It's hardly any wonder, though - producing, packing, and shipping our beloved gizmos from Asia to the rest of the world is a mighty complicated process whose success depends on much more than strict quality control.
