Oh man! I still have my Dream/G1 and it was actually my first smartphone! Love this thing.

Throwback or what? 😂

In those year 2008 that phone was a boss

It's interesting how that phone looks outdated, like it came out 50 years ago, but, let's be real - 10 years is a blink of an eye. Now imagine Samsung Galaxy S9 looking funny and outdated for another 10 years. I'm scared how fast the technology is progressing...

Who else is watching this in 2024?

3:27 Taj Mahal on the S9 wallpaper!!😍😍

It’s incredible how far the T1 set a standard. Great video as always.

Man the T-Mobile G1 was my first android phone. That was back in Uni. I feel old haha. Thanks for the throwback

I don't care about screen-to-body ratio, having a decent balance between the small bezels and usable size is way better IMO than having literally a screen instead of a phone which you cannot hold properly in your hand. I think the Xperia Z series did this the best by having relatively thin bezels, but still having areas where you can hold your phone while you're learning or watching a video. Also 4-5" screens should make a comeback since not everybody wants a frying pan.

It's amazing how old phones can still do their job. Your next video should be Using a Nokia brick in 2018!

I remember when I had the G1 in highscool, all my friends had the iPhone and I was the coolest indeed haha 😉😊

The first vs The latest :) Shows us just how much not only phones but also android as an OS has changed progressively over the years. Thanks for another great video Arun :D

Can't wait to watch I'll watch later I still have the HTC Dream the android developer edition too with the little android guy on the back plate

I stg everytime I see your notification I can't wait! Your videos are amazing. Subbed since 200k

It’s just really fascinating watching how the Industry of Android phones evolve and grow! Great throwback video boss!

This really brings some memories. I remember when Android was just introduced and I got some cheap Vodafone 858 Smart, and it was running Android 2.1 or something like that. I just remember that CPU in that thing sucked even then, and basic apps lagged like hell on it. Even UI was not smooth all the time. And yeah, I still got that thing around and I "play" with it from time to time. I rooted it, installed whole new software and stuff but it still lags, hah'. But yeah, it's interesting to see how far we've come in only ten years.

The G1 still looks cool. I'd love a modernised version of this phone.

Where did you even get that phone

Happy to see you still have it... And also made a video... Nice one. Thumbs up from me.

I bought this phone recently to have a piece of history. Love it! Just wish there was a way to get it legitimately hooked up for fun. So much has changed that compatibility just isn't there for so many things on board. So fun to have though. Thank you eBay.

It was my first smartphone and it somehow survived all my other more recent ones up til last month (it's actually the cable that broke so it's still "alive" just can't be charged anymore due to modern charging ports incompatibility)

So amazing to see what happened in ten years time. Especially in terms of camera resolution, frame rates and image quality.

Watching this video really shocks me, on how much Mobile technology have improved, externally and internally, growing up seeing telephones, than giant wireless telephones and to small phones to direct touch phones. Honestly this just improved in such small time !!

I remember mine, those were the days when JesusFreak roms were still a big deal. Getting multitouch support modded in was such an exciting thing that I ended up using it well into 2013 just because the modding community was still alive around the thing.

I miss small screens. I'm getting worried that my 7 inch 2014 tablet will be mistaken for a phone in a few years. And back then Android was more charming than now with this material design. My favorite Android version was KitKat.

I loved the "Dream", I bought it on day one. The reason being that it wasn't an IPhone and it had a physical keyboard. I've played a lot emulators back in the day on the G1, so if you've mapped the buttons right you had a great emulator machine. I also loved the jailbreak scene of this model, I think my g1 still haves firmware 2.3.4 on it. Downside is that it's really demanding on the battery, so you had like 14 hours of battery juice with minimal usage. Still I loved it.

Man what a throwback. I recently found my first phone, the HTC Evo Shift. I thought it was the coolest thing ever back then, both touch screen, decent screen size for the time, and a slide out keyboard. It ran on android 2.3... Then I brought it home from my parent's basement and put it down next to my Xiaomi 12 Pro and was taken aback by just how far phones have come today and how quickly...

Man I remember I wanted this phone so bad back in High school. The sidekick was dope back then as well.

*Awesome video like always, Arun!😎😎✨✨* *BTW, Can you tell me what's your current outro song's name is?* *Plz tell me as I am really curious to know about it.*

There is always a time for everything. That phone has spent its glory in 2008 long before what we have now even concieved. It is considered as vintage!

Loved my G1 to the core Best phone at the time and always love looking back at it.

I preordered this phone way back then. I loved it. It was great compared to other phones of the time. And like was said, it's the first. Mine was on cupcake and it was a big deal when donut came out. There was not even a Facebook app. We used an app developed by someone else, not FB

Great work , looking forward to more legendary phones

Love ur vids arun! 😍😍

Are gonna make more vids like this ? Cause I love this type of content on your channel :)

I still have all my old android phones and tablets and windows pda. For the amount of money you can get for them it's worth sticking them in a box out of the way and who knows maybe in another 10 or 20 years they'll be techno artifacts worth a bit of money??? My first android tablet has a full size usb port ideal to attach a mouse or keyboard and its rare to get them now I've only seen it on the fusion range. My first cell phone which still powers up is the size of a house brick with a massive rubber ducky aerial too. Oh the good old days (NOT). Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

Still have this phone stored in my cupboard. Love this phone

This are the things that we signed up for this channel

Haha you got that! You did a great job... Bro..

Had the g1 back in high school. Good times. I used to get so many weird looks pulling out this phone lol

I remember that period of my life. I was banking on Nokia's N900 and its meego environment. Little did I know, it was the beginning of the end for Nokia for not going with Android. It's too bad, that phone was a beast.

Hey man nice video.. nice work 👍👍👍

I loved that phone, I ended up having all the different colors of it.

I think you should make a video about phone cases and skins. I mean a lot of tech people have made videos about how they like or don't like cases but I see that you're using one for some phones. So you should make a video about it.😀

Always impress me,Amazing wish you more success 😃

My first android phone was the S3, and oh my god how far tech has progressed

Wow wow wow.. Where do you get these ideas!! Loving it..

Amazing video!..Nice Concept lol....Outdo song name plz!!

At least there's no notch Thumbs up now

Your videos get better and better every day

Check the Motorola Milestone 1 (Droid 1) next :) Great video.

I remember the Nokia N-Gage. At school we used to joke it was a camera with a phone in it because it had a 5MP camera with a Carl Zeiss lens. Phones have come a loooong way

Love that you and supersaf upload 5 minutes apart from eachother

the good old days.. back then I was a broken college student with a HTC wing Windows phone that I got for cheap .. unable to afford an iphone let alone the data plan that att wanted to charge for having an iphone . When they announced the G1 I went early launch day to get it and I was amazed and in love with android ..since then I 've been using android phones.

My god. Look at that design.😂 But seriously, I miss the physical qwerty keybs. Any suggestions for any modern day android with physical keyboards? Aside from Blackberry

I remember this phone. It was so bad lol. I had just transitioned from Palm OS and Windows phone to the iPhone. I bought this phone too but didn't like it at all. I remember the phones that made Android popular was Verizons "Droid" line. After they dropped the ball after having all of that momentum Samsung came along and started to carry the torch for Android.

back in the day wanted this one soo badly

Can you do a video about your first phone or first smartphone? (Whichever you prefer if course). I would love to see that.

It's axiomatic: The only way to truly appreciate the present and simultaneously the best way to chart a course for the future is with a firm understanding and appreciation of the past - good and bad. Great vid!

Phones look really beautiful in ur hands 😂 subscribed !! Need a love from you Aron. And I really want to see a review of Nubia z17s I know it's bad but still plsss ....

Glad that 10 years ago they didn't have a notch.

What a nice throwback....

I still have my Dream as well. I was an early adopter and feel like android is my roots. I had android before iOS so yeah, prefer android for sure.

As an android user myself, I had no idea this phone existed.

Woah, I'm from Sri Lanka and I found one lying around at a friend's house. Little did I know that it was the first ever Android phone. By golly,what a surprise!

This just shows how, back in the day, iOS was very underdeveloped compared to Android. Great video Arun! Shows how our bezel-less phones of an era comprare to the past. Who can imagine what's the next big technologifucal advantage.

I had this phone, got a lot of attention for how badass it was for the day

Great!🔥

That's amazing at how fast the technology become in less than 15 years

It's hard to imagine that HTC were the go to phones.

You should have waited until the Pixel 3 come out to make this throwback/comparison, imo.

I mean if you're going to reintroduce the G1 you have to reference Andy Rubin and the Hiptop. That keyboard is a direct pull from the Hiptop days as is the "swivel" screen lol aka the fake sidekick 😂. The entire nature of Android was connected to everything Andy disliked with the closed off Danger OS. Would have been a nice homage to campare this with the Essential phone.

My first phone Android phone was the Droid (the first one) and that thing was a beast. I miss having the slind keyboard.

I do miss the physical qwerty keyboard at times, there is something about actually feeling the keys as you type.

Watching on my G1! this phone is seriously snappy when you drop with the keyboard out

My first android phone was the T-mobile Pulse, A.K.A. Or huawei U8220 or CHT8000. Also worth a mention because it was awesome for its time :-)

I actually had this phone... didn't know if this was the 1st android phone. This was a genius phone back then!

Congrats for 1.1million subscriber

you forget one groundbreaking (missing of a) feature, the g1 have: no headphonejack

A huge difference!

Jeez, the salt and talking bad about that phone in this video is real.

I wonder if the Android store still work on it. And if what apps it still support's today in age?

Absolute MADLAD !

I did not read the video title properly and I thought that Arun was the first Android user in the world 😂😂

YEAAAH,, YEARLY AGAIN,, THANK GOD

My first android phone was the Sony xperia x10, good phone for it's time, could you make a review for it? Thanks, this channel is awesome

Dude. People were already doing selfies, just with the main camera.

i always wanted a G1 for my phone collection but they're too expensive. expecially the ones coming from Italy (my country). this HTC phone cost almost 1000 euros if brand new. the used ones are from germany or USA. and they still cost like 130 or more euros. I always wanted to try android stock 1.6. so i' buying an HTC magic that cost 40 and is similar to the G1

How did you do that thing with the nav bar on the pixel in the beginning?

still using s advance & grand Quattro till now,, hoping one day that I'll be using one of the flagship at that time..

Aron you should go back to the old intro and outro of your videos. I really liked it

Great ARUN BRO!!

The evolution of phones nowadays are Insane!🔥

I used to love having a qwerty keyboard on my old HTC Diamond pro

You have India friendly upload timing!! Thanks! Love the videos!😄🇮🇳🇮🇳

I really miss a full keyboard on a phone tbh Hahah.. I had the Desire Z and it's one of my favorites phones ever lol

I had this cell phone it was not that bad thanks for the review.

You have been going back in time recently huh

If Google made their own phone from the start that was more like the iPhone, they would have been able to compete with Apple, and Android would not have the horrible reputation it has today. People just don't realize how much better Android has gotten!!

I had the first android phone sony xperia arc s ..still loving it
