this was my first phone back in 2012. Being an Indian, my parents gifted me this for scoring 96 per cent in my high school. There is too much nostalgia. still have it in my drawer.

[@christmasisawesome9348]

How much does that 96% translate to your current work?

[@WeeD_Slayer]

​@@christmasisawesome9348good question 😂

[@hugopereira5640]

​@@christmasisawesome9348 Probably a lot LOL. 96% means he was disciplined enough to study hard for the exam, and discipline carries on to adulthood. Good for you brother. That being said this phone was absolute flaming hot trash, just like basically every other budget phone of that era. That being said it was probably all your parents could afford so good for them too.

[@vineethg6259]

​@@christmasisawesome9348By Indian academic standards these days, getting 96 percent in high school exams is peanuts. Same goes for standards of higher education, except in some prestigious technical institutions. At the end of it we get a graduate who is pretty much unemployable.

This was my brother's first smartphone, he upgraded from a 5800 Xpress Music which got handed down to me. It was on the Galaxy Y that I first explored rooting and custom ROMs. I waited a long time to get it as a hand me down but it completely broke down after two years or something. Good times!

This was my first smartphone that I got as a gift on my 15th birthday in 2013. I still have it although its battery is busted, rendering the phone useless. I tried to get a new battery but nobody has it locally, and I don't trust online retailers when it comes to batteries. Its so nostalgic to see it working properly! Its camera might be bad today but the memories I took with it back then are absolutely precious. Good video!

[@KishorIq7]

I had this one. Slightly bent smooth sensitive screen at that time feels buttery smooth. Feels nostalgic ✨

yessss custom roms always a good time. I actually installed one onto this after the video but it doesn't call for much change.

Damn nostalgia is hitting strong with these phones showing up on my feed. I had almost the same phone as this one (The first Galaxy Mini).

[@Oful4noooooo]

I had this smartphone when I was a child, it was my first smartphone. At the time it was already bad, as it crashed a lot, imagine today. I don't know what I did with mine, but it's nostalgic. It was an extremely cheap smartphone in Brazil.

[@itsrickyschannel.]

This was my first smartphone after owning Razr-style Motorola flip phone for a while. I saw a similar model to the one shown and fell in love with it due to how small and cute it looked, a couple of my high school friends had Samsung S1's or 2's and I thought mines looked adorable next to it. Now my current smartphone dwarfs it by about 3x. Weird how that works.

[@ankurkumar2648]

My first Android, bought it in 2011 and the experience was phenomenal, everything worked great for what it was at that time, i remember rooting it and installing custom roms in it so to save the apps in the SD card instead of mere 160 MB internal storage that we were getting with this tiny device, i actually still miss removable batteries and the SD card support and Head phone jack,😅😂😂 Currently Rocking S23 ultra, which unsurprisingly has none of the above features, i think the smartphone market has already peaked and now the companies are just looking to cash the cow with their iterative updates.

[@justinr9784]

This is weirdly nostalgic. I had a HTC phone around this time that I used to blow my friends minds with by emulating Game Boy Advance games and stuff like that. I had a friend who adamantly didn't believe me untill I put the phone in his hand and showed him Leaf Green running. Now you can basically emulate everything even with a wireless controller... but I'll always have fond memories of this weird transitionary phase between dumb and smart phones.

[@animeshsrivastava2844]

I still remember the date when I (read, my parents) bought this on 27th December 2011. I bought it against the advice of the seller, who showed another Samsung non Android phone with a front camera. At that time, this screen size was nothing like I'd ever seen. I still have the now-bricked device sitting in one of the drawers somewhere. Surprised to see this here, lol.

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

I bet the non-Android Samsung the seller was selling you was called Bada. Same experience as mine. Thank God I went for the Android.

[@NizarFaizul]

I had this phone back in the day, one of the 'problems' I had with this phone was because the screen resolution is too low, some apps just don't render properly lol. Some ui elements are just completely cut off or covered by they keyboard 😂. And sometimes when plugged into a charger, the screen would glitch and to interact with the phone, you had to unplug it first. I was so happy when I got to upgrade to an Xperia Mini Pro.

[@50rupees75]

This was my first android phone. It had a huge developer support on XDA So many custom roms to choose, you could also overclock it from 836 MHz to 1.2HGHz It was an amazing device for the time, it lacked a front facing camera, this phone made me what I am today I have a lot of memories with it This phone came with a broadcomm CPU hence they weren't developer friendly hence it didn't get any major android updates. It was running 2.3.6 but there were ROMs upto 4.4 KitKat but those were just ROMs with a skin nothing special

[@dehasim]

Once i found a actual 4.4 kitkat rom for that device, all major features worked, then i went back to default rom because of bugs, it had a lot of cool roms, but i wanted the default look for nostalgia

My first smartphone was an S2 Mini but god, I didn't think I would get nostalgic over the old interface and Android version! It was a great alternative to Apple thanks to the open source and freedom the app devs have, it had significantly more games to play around with while KZbin and internet browsing used to be significantly slower yet simpler!

[@paulcresswell6268]

I have a Galaxy Fame from 2013 running Android 4.2. A lot of the preinstalled Samsung apps no longer work, and some Google apps have been depriciated. There are some sideloaded app workarounds, but the single core processor is excruciatingly slow in operation.

[@iamsadiq4343]

I think they should bring back removable batteries it saves so much money

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

Hahaha I used to drop this phone a lot and the back cover and battery went everywhere in our lecture room. Without care for dent and scratches. Simpler times

[@hohohodrigues]

i had a galaxy y twice, a 6-7 years time gap between each. The first time i had it it was great! But the second time i couldn't install whatsapp and update youtube at the same time because it would run out of storage VERY FAST. And the youtube version that came with it would still work, but with no recommendations and the channel names would be what they were ages ago, and new channels would be just numbers. It was very cool to see that android 2 still worked, even if weirdly.

[@zurgmuckerberg]

This was my first smartphone. I remembered when rooting was still a thing.

[@yamiali1783]

[@HACHIAttack]

This is also my first smartphone way back to 2014 when I'm now on my first year college. I've also played my first Pokemon game on a GBA emulator, Pokemon Yellow, and all of the apps like FB lite, Gmail, KZbin and other apps run well and it doesn't require a lot of RAM for it. And yes, it's true, the battery life is very long, I left my house to go to school 100% then went back home 8 hours later and it's on around 60 to 50%. I've played songs and playing games with it and I don't ask for much back then. Until 2017 when I had my first paycheck and I bought a new phone and gave this samsung to my little cousin. Seeing the Galaxy Y's boot up screen, the menus and even the music app brings me back to the (not so) good old days of college. And this phone keeps me busy from good to bad times. As much as I missed this phone for it's fast response to some of the apps and plays GBA emulators perfectly well, we had to move on since technologies are developing faster than before. But I'm glad I'm one of them boys who owns this bad boy for 3 years... Thanks Mom!

[@jerrywu615]

I got a Galaxy S (the og 2010 model) off of eBay recently, and wanna add a few things based on my experience using that: 1. not sure if this is common across early Samsung Galaxy phones but if I tried plugging my pair of headphones into the 3.5mm, the sound is kinda muted until I hold down the button that usually plays/pauses music 2. the image quality might not be always terrible but the photo taking process is so tedious...you pretty much have to wait 5-15s depending on if it wants to focus correctly before you can take the photo

[@NurAdinugraha]

About the first problem, it's probably due to OMTP on your old Samsung vs CTIA on your newer headphones. Both are 3.5mm jack standard btw. Cheap adapter can solve that issue.

[@pamelajessup7931]
