? I was a small child at the time, so I don't know. If the G1 was so great, why was Apple much more successful than Android?

It's interesting how that phone looks outdated, like it came out 50 years ago, but, let's be real - 10 years is a blink of an eye. Now imagine Samsung Galaxy S9 looking funny and outdated for another 10 years.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...
Srećko Delibašić It won't, we have come to the point, where phones won't change that much. The progress won't be as fast. The screen can't be improved much, the camera won't change that much. In 10 years, a finger print sensor wont be around, the battery will be much much better, the camera will be behind the screen. Won't be crazy different.
Alpha Wolf I used to think the same in 2011 .. "It cant get much better than this right?" Not saying that you are wrong, it is true that processors are reaching their limits, but I wouldn't say it is a sure thing
6 ปีที่แล้ว +7
Remember, for example, PS1? We used to think, back in the 90's and 00's - ''It can't be better than this'', but the thing is that, in that time, it was the best thing, and our brain adapted to it. Same thing with the PS2, PS3, and especially with the PS4. The progress isn't going to be as fast as it was before, but I think we can't even imagine what is ahead of us... Maybe the term ''technology'' will dissappear, and we'll rely on something completely beyond our current imagination. Human's brain is more infinite than the Universe itself. :D
Jancy Varghese Man iPhone 2G was the first touchscreen smartphone. That's why Apple was dominating Smartphone Market. And yeah, Android was shit in the past.
Any one remember the Tic Tac phones? That first flip phone .it's hard to explain how it exactly look as those days I was a child 12 or 13 yrs old.bet no one can review that phone if remember it.... Tic Tac mobile
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
Unnamed Review Guy That's true. However, the aesthetics and the smoothness of the UI has moved miles ahead. That said, I quite like how they've managed to retain certain defining features of Android :)
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.
walter G especially with the IPHONE X.$999 for a phone that copied cheaper Android phones like the S8 and added emojis.REALLY!?!? NOW THIS IS LIKE THE EMOJI MOVIE AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WAS LIKE
walter G poor people Thats what you think.besides I could have bought an iphone 7 or 8 right now but its just a waste buying a phone which gives you less than what "cheaper phone"gives.also rich people also use android phone especially with a VR set also if iphone is for the rich then how come with the money they make havent gotten things Like A VR SET clearly they shouldvt to drive up demand
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.
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)
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!
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 !!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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!
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.
My guy am from the future, you gonna get married to most beautiful girl and you are gonna crying making up your speech with 500drones hovering above you.
*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.*
Imagine if we could go back to 2008 and just hands down every tech company with a pixel 2 and galaxy s9 for them to "research" to increase the camera quality... I can't even imagine how today's camera would look like
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
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.😀
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
Throwback or what? 😂
Yeah dude! I still have my HTC Explorer (A310E) And it is still running Gingerbread! Also rooted but maaaaan nostalgia!
Whoo hooo
Mrwhosetheboss
You're two days early!
Blast from the past ; )
Mrwhosetheboss legit throwback
Oh man! I still have my Dream/G1 and it was actually my first smartphone! Love this thing.
Do another android setup video!
waiting for like forever 🙄
Hello Zach!
@matt xaep ?
? I was a small child at the time, so I don't know. If the G1 was so great, why was Apple much more successful than Android?

Alpha Wolf I am aware of that. We'll see :D
Srećko Delibašić Yep, you name it, man. The speed of development is enormous. Especially in terms of camera resolution/ frame rates / image quality.
Alpha Wolf I used to think the same in 2011 .. "It cant get much better than this right?"

In those year 2008 that phone was a boss
How? they both have a screen and fit in your hand?
so this is MrWhoseTheBoss ??

i would say that iphone was killing it up to the 5s, now however...
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
Nigel Fernandes I actually find that small things in the Android OS are the same like the power down screen
Unnamed Review Guy That's true. However, the aesthetics and the smoothness of the UI has moved miles ahead. That said, I quite like how they've managed to retain certain defining features of Android :)
Nigel Fernandes yes certainly the new android OS is snappier and looks better but has managed to retain that original android look.
It’s incredible how far the T1 set a standard. Great video as always.
3:27 Taj Mahal on the S9 wallpaper!!😍😍
It's amazing how old phones can still do their job. Your next video should be Using a Nokia brick in 2018!
I mean it still works, but literally no apps available today will install on it.
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.
Man the T-Mobile G1 was my first android phone. That was back in Uni. I feel old haha. Thanks for the throwback
The G1 still looks cool. I'd love a modernised version of this phone.
At least there's no notch
Thumbs up now
I remember when I had the G1 in highscool, all my friends had the iPhone and I was the coolest indeed haha 😉😊
walter G Fuck you APPLE PEASANT ANDROID IS BETTER. ASK PEOPLE
walter G Fuck you iphone are not better they all look the same,feel tje same and act the same way there former phones were
walter G especially with the IPHONE X.$999 for a phone that copied cheaper Android phones like the S8 and added emojis.REALLY!?!? NOW THIS IS LIKE THE EMOJI MOVIE AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WAS LIKE
walter G really huh?
walter G poor people Thats what you think.besides I could have bought an iphone 7 or 8 right now but its just a waste buying a phone which gives you less than what "cheaper phone"gives.also rich people also use android phone especially with a VR set also if iphone is for the rich then how come with the money they make havent gotten things Like A VR SET clearly they shouldvt to drive up demand
It's hard to imagine that HTC were the go to phones.
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.
It’s just really fascinating watching how the Industry of Android phones evolve and grow! Great throwback video boss!
As an android user myself, I had no idea this phone existed.
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
Where did you even get that phone
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)
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!
Glad that 10 years ago they didn't have a notch.

So amazing to see what happened in ten years time. Especially in terms of camera resolution, frame rates and image quality.
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 loved that phone, I ended up having all the different colors of it.
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.

My first android phone was the S3, and oh my god how far tech has progressed
I did not read the video title properly and I thought that Arun was the first Android user in the world 😂😂
Ankith Binagekar me too
Lol
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.
Why don’t they make a phone like this now with a keyboard?
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...

That phone looks cooler than my phone

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.
Loved my G1 to the core
Best phone at the time and always love looking back at it.
This are the things that we signed up for this channel
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!
got an iphone 15 pro ad when i clicked on this 😭🙏
Next video: HTC Dream
*wait hang on*
Man I remember I wanted this phone so bad back in High school.
The sidekick was dope back then as well.
Still have this phone stored in my cupboard. Love this phone
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
Happy to see you still have it... And also made a video... Nice one. Thumbs up from me.
is it just me or you didn't mention HTC in this video ??
You should have waited until the Pixel 3 come out to make this throwback/comparison, imo.
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.
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
I stg everytime I see your notification I can't wait! Your videos are amazing. Subbed since 200k
I had this phone, got a lot of attention for how badass it was for the day
Jeez, the salt and talking bad about that phone in this video is real.
back in the day wanted this one soo badly
I actually had this phone... didn't know if this was the 1st android phone. This was a genius phone back then!
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!
Your videos get better and better every day
Haha you got that! You did a great job... Bro..
I wonder if the Android store still work on it. And if what apps it still support's today in age?
Dude.
People were already doing selfies, just with the main camera.
Wow wow wow.. Where do you get these ideas!! Loving it..
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???

That's amazing at how fast the technology become in less than 15 years
Love that you and supersaf upload 5 minutes apart from eachother
This video will come handy for the future generations...
This phone was such a "Dream" ;)
Brilliant phone according to 2008
My guy am from the future, you gonna get married to most beautiful girl and you are gonna crying making up your speech with 500drones hovering above you.
Nostalgia
The resistive touch
Oh the dark days
But a nifty invention 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
*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.*
What a nice throwback....
I can't believe u used the first ever made android phone that existed 😳?
A huge difference!
you forget one groundbreaking (missing of a) feature, the g1 have: no headphonejack
I do miss the physical qwerty keyboard at times, there is something about actually feeling the keys as you type.
Can you do a video about your first phone or first smartphone? (Whichever you prefer if course). I would love to see that.
The evolution of phones nowadays are Insane!🔥
Great work , looking forward to more legendary phones
Aron you should go back to the old intro and outro of your videos. I really liked it
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.
Brings back memories. HTC Dream baby!
My first phone was a Nokia 3310...
Pure classic! :D
Watching this in 2023 on my S23U
After 12 years everyone Hate's today's flagship killer ,right??☺️
My first phone that android was the Motorola Droid A855. Loved the keyboard
ohhh, i like this phone on back of the day.
Imagine if we could go back to 2008 and just hands down every tech company with a pixel 2 and galaxy s9 for them to "research" to increase the camera quality... I can't even imagine how today's camera would look like
Amazing video!..Nice Concept lol....Outdo song name plz!!
Always impress me,Amazing wish you more success 😃
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
Are gonna make more vids like this ? Cause I love this type of content on your channel :)
10 bucks Aron won’t pin this comment😉
(edit) thanks for the ❤️
Do I get the 10 bucks? 😂
Mrwhosetheboss you didn't even pin it, lol
You just hearted it
🤣😂
Pin IT , Pin IT.......................
Block it, block it
And not even once did you mention that this is actually the HTC Dream.
Check the Motorola Milestone 1 (Droid 1) next :)
Great video.
Congrats for 1.1million subscriber
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.😀
You have India friendly upload timing!! Thanks! Love the videos!😄🇮🇳🇮🇳
The phone looks like a Nintendo!
Android Doughnut- 2008 to Android Peanut - 2018 😂
Dr. MG M soon I'll go nuts...
Kamal LB 😂
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
