- Hello and Welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at the 95/$1 Phone I ordered off of ebay a little while ago in a very odd ebay auction that didnt last very long, and didnt have much information....For good reason id say.
Anyways join us today as we try to save this little piece of history, well a history Samsung would rather forget. As we restore this little phone and give it a full on Budget Builds Test, with a new OS, and everything from Music Playback all the way to TH-cam, and every game I couldthink of to test....Which isnt that many, but anywho enjoy!

Well since the phone was a “dead phone” it was fitting to have it being sent buried in dirt

Man, how nostalgic. I keep all my old smartphones along with any others I can get a hold of as collectors items. Watching this made me go pull them out and dust them off. Amazing how far we have come in 10 scant years.
And they look beautiful
Was the seller located in Leeds? My missus had one of these with a yellow back which she lost on a muddy patch of grass in Leeds back in 2014, would be interesting if this is that phone. 🤔
i want to hear this story
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Would be crazy if it was hers. Be nice if he sent it to you as well if it was.
I don't believe the seller was located up north. As it was sent from a generic eBay postage account. Will do some digging. But these phones are extremely common.

Oh, neat. I used to own this back in 2012-2016 and am part of the people responsible for the custom firmware for it. Neat seeing it in 2019. Far too many hours were spent developing for this. There used to be a weird kernel issue where the screen would blank white on unlock during certain thermal conditions. There was no obvious cause of this, as the LCD driver was identical between the old kernel and our new custom kernel. Very likely something esotheric with the LCD power regulation IC. We ended up shimming the old kernel to work on 4.X. There was also a very early PoC 5.0 we got on it, but we quit early on as it was practically unusable due to material and all the animations. The device was an alright midranger in 2012.
Man, I really like your perseverance. It makes me wonder what you're working on these days?

My first phone was very similar to this one, maybe a few years younger. I vividly recall having to restart it every time I connected to wi-fi at home, because the 2000+ Whatsapp notifications from my high school classroom group always froze it.

That old days when i always flash my phone almost every week because the custom rom got an update
I miss those days...
This was a bad phone at the time and is virtually unusable in 2019.
I had it back in 2014...... Uuuggggggghhh
@Nokia Brick Collection Depends on what you call usable. It would be snappier, but you could not use any app that works online. If you just want it to play music (locally, of course), and little else, that'll be fine, though.
@@JPX64Channel Your info isn't up to date, I'm afraid.
www.whatsapp.com/android/
@@JPX64Channel I guess your confusion originates from this: You can still use Whatsapp on 2.3 till Feb next year if you had been using the phone with it installed from some time ago. But you cannot create accounts on 2.3 OR change over to another existing one. Thus, you'd be out of luck with 2.3 trying to use an old phone you just bought.

Are you sure?
According to XDA there's custom ROMs all the way to KitKat or android version 4.4. That's pretty usable I'm my book
I really thought this was just a basic clickbait video about buying broken phones, then found it was an in depth restoration, tutorial, and review of a phone no one wants. Mad props
It's interesting to hear that apparently old Samsung phone memory degrades from storing too much of itself on it, which would explain why I swear my first phone (a Galaxy Fit) started "going senile" as I had no idea how else to describe it (randomly playing mp3s, one time I tried deleting a video and it deleted ALL of the media I had downloaded for no apparent reason) and nowadays won't actually boot.
All memory will degrade over time, but the modules used in these old phones are even more susceptible
I really don't get those one-word eBay listings like "Phone" or "Speakers". My Soundstream XTA480.2 was even listed as "Car amplifier"
The good thing about such listings is you can get a pretty good product for low price OR you can get a piece a shit! (Which happens when you don't take the time to actually figure out what's in that listing)
Usually when it says simply just what kind of device is it, usually the seller is not tech sawy obviosly
thanks guys haha
I guess what the seller was going to get out of this made it not worth even writing down a more descriptive title. In fact, I wonder how this could be a free postage listing (you have to factor eBay comision in as well) without seller actually losing money!
You got me with the fake outro card.
The surprise when you started playing MGS1 and used Sea Breeze from MGS3 as background music, one of my favorite pieces of ost from the saga!!
I had this same phone in 2013. For a budget phone it actually wasn't that bad for the time period. It had almost no storage space on it and was a little slow. For $30 though it worked great for making calls, texting, and social media apps.
Had this phone in 2012, my first real android. I was angered because samsung didn't release an official 4.0.1 in 2013.
I could see this being a good little emergency car phone, dashcam, media player, GPS ect. I would try to install the GO version of apps if possible since they're optimized for
dash cam with 1gb?

What phone do you have now ?
Really fun video. Still wondering about the bag of dirt with a phone in it. I play around with obsolete phones myself, so was truly amazed that lump was made to operate as well as it did. Rooting is probably what saved this thing from the dust bin. 😀
I admire your patience. I had this phone in 2013/2014 and it was slow and clumsy even by the standards of that time. Sometimes, it was not even able to make calls. I can't imagine having to use this thing in 2019.
It's really interesting seeing how far we've come with technology in less than 10 years. This phone came out 2012 and even high-end phones like Galaxy S3 which was released in 2012 as well, had 1GB of RAM. Now my phone has 12GB of RAM and a SoC which has a GPU that is around 56 times faster in floating-point calculations than Galaxy S3.
PC consumer technology evolution has been much slower. For example GTX 580 that came out in 2012 is only around 8 times slower than RTX 2080 Ti.
To be fair, mobile chipsets are fairly recent, compared to desktop CPUs/GPUs. It stands to reason it took a while to reach the point where advancements were incremental rather than exponential.
Who needs 12GB RAM on a phone. Thats more than i have on my computer.

These old budget Android phones didn’t age so well.
Well, even flagship phones like the iPhone 4, 5c, 6s, Nexus 5X, Galaxy Note5 didn't age well. How would one expect budget devices to age well? That too one that is about 10 Years old and costed about 250$. My 3-4 Year Old budget devices don't seem great against today's budget devices lol.
+Nikhil Paleti The iPhone 6s still holds up pretty well today. Its performance is even better than that of most mid range phones of today.
@@MsMRkv Yup, Correct
@@MsMRkvWhat mid-range devices? I have OnePlus 6T, and iPhone 6S, and yes it's great performance still because IOS (expect when Apple on purpose slowed older devices with updates..) but if it ran Android, it would be slower. 2GB of RAM is enough for IOS.
I wanna see the S5 now. That was when Samsung was at the top of their game and then after that, they went slowly downhill. I know I miss mine. :(
I owned this phone from the first week of its launch. It was a beast on it's time.I remember playing Subway Surfers and Doodle Jump. In the box it had both the yellow and the black back cover.
For web browsing I would use Opera Mini on that thing. Not a full experience but I wouldn't call anything a full experience on it lol.
my recommendation too. won't use any ram or processing as done in the cloud!
The via browser is faster and less than 1 MB play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mark.via.gp

S2 mini was one of my favorite phones back then. Everybody had it. It was small, rugged, worked fine and was reasonably cheap.
We used to pass it around in school playing pou and paper airplane gyroscope on it. Good times...

This exact model was my first smartphone! It came with both a yellow and black back. Never thought I'd see it presented or discussed anywhere; as you said, it's one of many like it, and that makes it quite obscure. I think I may still have the remains, but last time I checked it was smashed, without a battery and the chrome paint around the rim got somewhat chipped. But yeah, fun times.

I find it amazing that a working complete mobile device would be sold for 1-2$. I guess it shows how software/firmware can be a major factor, as well as simply how many devices are littering the market now.
