[@samlung2724]

Funny, back then, people complained that samsungs looked cheap.

[@arandomdudelmao]

@samlung2724 people thought of that mainly because of touchwiz and the pebble design, especially during the S3-S4 era

[@GGori_99]

This phone was the exact opposite of my phone back in 2011.. 2 years prior.. i had the Galaxy Mini.. and the boot up screen is still very nostalgic and iconic.. i love Samsung..

[@ebiooo]

It looks big (and feels big) because that 5.8" is only the screen size. Phones back then didn't have that high of a screen-to-body ratio because of the navigation button and stuff, so the whole phone is big even though we might perceive 5.8" as small because we're accustomed to bezel-less phones

[@RusticRonnie]

That and because its 9:16 where modern phones are 9:21 (skinny long displays)

[@Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz.]

​@@RusticRonnieNo, I think the majority stopped at 19.5:9 I think the Sony Experia are one of the few phones that are at 21:9 They also existed with screens at 18.5:9, 20.5:9 and more if we count folding phones

It still looks big even today must have been amazingly massive in 2011

[@ChristmasMorning1995]

It was. I remember seeing this at the cell phone store at the time and it looked absolutely huge next to all the other phones on display. Keep in mind they were still selling the iPhone 4s at the time.

[@NehemYah810]

I don’t care what anybody says. There was something so perfect about how imperfect android used to be. I feel like tinkering and messing around to “perfect” our experience was what made android so fun. Now that it’s near perfect out the box I don’t even use it anymore.

[@J.Wick.]

I completely know what you mean. There was a comfort to it's imperfection, somehow.

[@Joshtheweatherman]

Gingerbread and Jellybean were my most favorite versions of Android. It was pretty well clean from any unnecessary apps, and it’s ready for you to customize it. I also experienced way less bugs for some reason, compared to newer versions of Android. I feel like when Google apps took over, it ruined budget phones because of how intensive it is to run on lower end hardware. If you install a newer lite version of Android, it will run a lot faster. You could also disable some of the Google apps, and it would run a little better.

[@NehemYah810]

@@Joshtheweatherman Yeah I really enjoyed jellybean. Those were some of my fondest memories with android. I used to spend so much time tinkering trying to get the most out of a phone 🤣 I went through so many custom roms it’s stupid.

[@Joshtheweatherman]

@@NehemYah810 KitKat was also good too!

[@d47000]

Definitely agree! Back when the custom rom scene was in full swing. Good times. Now half of the phones you buy aren't unlockable at all.

[@pemainulunggggg]

Super AMOLED FHD, 5.8", Galaxy Note-like design... Even bigger than Galaxy Note3 at the time and for those who don't want a stylus... It's an absolute big win win 🤯🤯🤯 (Wait, Galaxy Mega has an AMOLED version? That's a rare thing, in my place all Galaxy Megas are LCD lol 😂)

[@joel06sk]

You've got to try the Samsung Galaxy Folder (2)! Weird phone but back in bout 2018 I really wanted it as my main.

Everyone hates touchwiz, but for their credit the skeuomorphic aspect was not that bad, I mean the design not the performance...Holo Ui and Metro Ui just destroyed this thing back than. Today I whish we could see something like this instead of pastel flats, just worn me down in the last 5-8 years.

[@kazuhiramiller2121]

Totally agree with you, material design is boring af

[@username-mb2qh]

@@kazuhiramiller2121The older iterations of Material Design had an interesting look to them but then it kinda became increasingly monotone, especially in icons. Older Google icons (some of which are currently still used like Google Translate icon) had this folded paper look to them but then they oversimplified them like the new Gmail, Google Photos logo, etc. I guess I can at the very least give credit to Material You for sort of trying to be unique as opposed to Samsung’s One UI and Windows 11 which seem to increasingly look more like iOS/macOS (and then there is all the iOS clone skins found on pretty much every single Chinese phone lol).

I actually owned this phone. And got it from my mom after my THL 5000 broke. Since she has already upgraded to oneplus 3 at the time. I didn't even know there were 2 versions. I'll check later and give you an update. But I LOVED the thing, so this video is a good nostalgia trip. Thank you for giving me inspiration to go check that phone out after such a long time.

[@brockachoo]

Ooooo brand new phones get me going and a removable battery ohhhhhh yeahhhhh. Awesome video as always mate 👍

[@ENNEN420]

I think the last Samsung phone with a removable battery had a 3.7 inch 240p screen and I thought it was massive... until i switched to windows phone a couple of years later and got a 5.8in 1080p screen which I think this was a bit less on the resolution. It could even run N64 and PSX games full speed which 10 years ago was something nearly science fiction from a phone. Idk how usable it'd be in current year + 9, but I used it to the very bitter end

[@Corey.Private]

Hey johnzoid. I would refrain from putting the phone on wifi for AS LONG as possible until needed as you'll actually notice it'll run smoother until your hefty security updates try to auto install and such

[@hasnat9545]

my mom had the s5 so this android version is pretty nostaligic. Especially the lock screen effects. funny enough we even had that same exact speaker. And dawg i still play cut the rope

You can still download the Cut The Rope games on current phones. I have both cut the Rope and cut the rope 2 on my fold 5.

1:03 This is a 100% re-seal phone, the Quick start guide is from the S6 or some kind of 2015 2016 Samsung phone. Since this phone is back cover open, so there's no guide for this phone.

[@rpst39]

I saw one of those in a flea market once, I think it was the bigger one. At first glance I thought it was an S4 but it seemed... off. I got closer and I got it on my hand. I was confused. I took out my note 4 out of my pocket. I was even more confused. I asked the seller "What even is this thing?" Also man, I remember group play and paper artist, my dads note 2 had those. They were fun.

Hey johnzoid can you make a next video on galaxy y duos s6102 because I want to re-experience my galaxy y duos it is not working any longer

[@trevinodude]

So I just watched this review on my old Samsung Galaxy Avant then rewatched this review on my current iPhone 13... I know they are very different, one being a base model flagship phone and the other one being considered a mid ranged device even when it first came out but MAN, it makes you realize how much technology has changed from then and now. For one, phones from 2014 sometimes didn't even handle HD video (the Avant can onenenenly get up to 480p) very well and the Play Store doesn't even work on it anymore, but to be fair, I'm kind of surprised that this video could even play on the Avant from the browser. But I had to see one old Samsung from the view of another old Samsung.

Hahhaha i had one of these for awhile. My dad upgraded to the Mega 6.3 and hated the size trading me for my Moto G 1st gen. I was literally 13 packing this thing around in an OtterBox Defender case. It was insane but i loved it honestly. Had all the same features of the S4 like how it could detect your finger from a few millimetres away… don’t know how useful that was honestly 🤣

it makes you wonder why did they grow the phone sizes gradually instead of just measuring whatt's the biggest size that ftill easily fits in a pocket and made it this big rightaway... I have pixel 6 pro and I think they could easily make it a bit bigger and still fit any pocket and people would be happy to pay extra for more screen
