My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

I also started with the HTC Magic. It’s the only phone I’ve used that has a trackball.

Also a HTC Magic, that I bought on release day. Remember the excitement of flashing CyanogenMod on it with TWRP

I remember writing a Tetris game for Android but this was in 2007 before we could actually get an Android phone so we only used an emulator and it was really really slow, like 0.5 fps.

I think I had a Galaxy S1 as well and it was fine. Probably got a few more Galaxies before switching to iPhone. Still use a Pixel frequently for work though.

Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 in 2013.

Had so much fun rooting and flashing ROMs on the 4.

Paranoid Android, Xposed modules, PIE controls, all that stuff.

My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!

That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
