for all you asking about the yellow app seen at 5:25.. It’s literally the Yellow Pages app 👍 I think you guys are too young to have used it. It’s a business directory. Edit: also, its model SGH-i717 and it was AT&t Version. This is why it’s missing home button.

[@Nick-jr4be]

I had my pantech pocket back in 2014, and it came pre-installed with that device. I remember when it worked perfectly fine. Now, I find it 9 years later only to get a server error.😢 I also couldn't get into Flipboard, Twitter, or basically anything nowadays. I assume most everything stopped working in around 2017

We bought a Note 1 in early 2012. It was just mesmerizing. Some features were so good that I still miss them today. The "Live Wallpaper" was great! It was a picture of a beach where that changed according to the actual weather and day/night cycle of your location. Rainy days made your phone come alive. Crayon Physics was also a fun little game as shown. The S-pen was great of course. I stopped actively using the phone in 2017. 5 years! And even after it, I used to get back to it just for fun from time to time. It finally died in 2022. A whole 10 years later. It set the trend for phones in terms of increasing display size. Still cherish it.

I remember sitting in college class at the time and a guy just straight up took notes on his Galaxy Note like a boss, while the rest of us plebs with shiny iPhones were still slaving a way with pens and paper. Such a weird combination

Oh damn, the S8000 was my first phone as a kid! Still got it laying around somewhere! I highly recommend testing the... multi-shot/combining shot feature(?) You'll find it in the scene/effect settings somewhere, it's actually meant to take a photo with a friend, when it's just the two of you. (or just yourself twice) But can be used for some interesting unintended effects. Take a selfie and stick your tongue out left and right, while looking in different directions. It combined both halves of my face seamlessly with a conjoined tongue (back in 2009, when I took a photo like that - nwver had a cam with tech that could compare)

[@stankozniewski9385]

The note 2 was my favorite phone of all time, it replaced my computer. I sparked alot of conversations running 2 apps on the same screen. I rooted it and made the top speaker act like the phone had stereo sound (it didn't, the main sound came from the bottom only your calls came from the top speaker) There was sound mods for the s pen, when you pulled it out you can make it sound like a light Saber 😂. Was an awesome step forward for Sammy.

[@giovanniedwards]

Very interesting, it's definitely nostalgic back in those days Samsung was the hype , I mean it technically still is but that's when as Michael Fisher would say " when phones were fun"

[@wielsonf]

I've had the Note 3, 10+, and now S24 Ultra.

[@OmegaEnvych]

I had Note 1 on my job for testing and other operations. It was pretty solid phone for its time, bit lackluster at the later years of its existence. But I liked it. My first android device was 3G version of Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet that was pretty much Galaxy S3 stretched to 8 inches with S-Pen added. Kinda interesting thing it was.

[@NehemYah810]

I’ll never forget my first note phone. It was the Note 3 to be fair but it was INCREDIBLE. The S pen was a plus but just the size of the amoled display and the battery life for its time. It was amazing. It’s crazy that for most people in 2024 a 5.7 inch display is TINY. Now when we talk about acceptable small phones we’re talking 6.2 inches 💀

[@amandamedina2533]

I can’t believe I lived during different eras. Starting from the 90’s. I’ve seen technology advance through out the years. I love 90’s computers and Y2K’s computers and the old flip phones, but for whatever reason the early 2010’s smartphones are the ones that make me cringe. I look back and say: “what the hell is that brick anyways?” It’s crazy how technology has advance so much in just 10 years.

[@KBHblogs]

i remember with my Samsung Galaxy tab 4. i tried voice talk or s voice then i told galaxy "whats The weather today" and she responded with the weather forecast.

[@onkelklaujo]

I remember when I was a little kid I wanted this phone so bad, especially as it was so big compared to every other phone. Now this phone seems so small, even compared to something like a 6.2 inch iPhone

[@Samsung_Samuel]

If you want to try a "good" classic mobile game, you should try The Dark Knight Rises made by Gameloft back in 2012 and I have fond memories of that game from back when I was like 9 years old and after revisiting it a few months ago, it somehow still holds up compared to most mobile games today, plus the combat is somewhat reminiscent of the Arkham franchise.

[@technotech17]

Bro ! I love your videos , I was just wondering, where do you get your APK’s from , because I have an Samsung Mini (S5570) and it’s running Android Froyo (2.2.1) , I’ve been trying to download apk’s and make it work , but it says that the version needs to be updated, it would mean a lot ❤ I also wanted to say , I love your videos , they’re so cool ❤ , I’d appreciate if you’d tell me !

[@VinnyUnion]

Interestingly enough I've also gotten the Note 9 again a month ago (!) And it's just fabulous. Running on the original firmware though and honestly I'll leave it there. The animations and everything else just feels significantly better than the one UI on my S9+. They run all smoothly though nonetheless. Although being a Exynos chip, there weren't any hiccups ever even once and the S9 is at full storage too. Great devices that just work. I might also add that I've been using the S9+ since practically launch daily for a quarter of the day using its speakers and they're still working and are quite bassy. I'm impressed in what Samsung has done with these devices for them to last this many years with like 7-9 hours of KZbin consumption daily. These devices are built different, quite literally. With the newer devices I've read a ton of display issues and the lack of features like iris scanner and most interesting the fingerprint scanner+sensor. The 9 series have a literal heartbeat sensor in the back which I never knew until recently, it blew me away knowing that.

"I love phones of the early 2000s" because of removable batteries... My man, the Note 4 came out almost in 2015. The LG V20 came out in 2016 with a user-removable battery. Fairphone right now makes phones with user-removable: *Yes* and actual IP55 water resistance. The Galaxy S5 came out in 2014 and had IP67 water resistance. This isn't an early 2000s thing, it's like the last decade at most that phone manufacturers subjected us to the repair shop queue hell for literally no reason.
