Let’s rewind the clock!
Loved that battery bar across the top mod. 2012.
2014 some special launcher forgot what it was called
From 2014, Nexus 5 with my favorite launcher of all time, Aviate. I miss the rom scene, spent so much time tinkering with it.
Not my oldest Android phone (that would be the Galaxy Spica back in 2010), but this is my oldest existing screenshot taken from a Note III just a couple of years after that.
If you’re wondering how come I have a full day of battery left despite it being down to 40%, I’m using a Zerolemon battery case. I believe this is the last Note iteration that allows removable batteries.
The long battery life allowed me to last in the mountains for a day or two without charging. There weren’t any power banks back then, or at least not anything reliable.
From 2011, I thnk this was on the original Samsung Galaxy (Can’t find it only to confirm), the one with the “sticky out chin”. This was my first true smartphone after having used a Blackberry Bold I think, before which I had a Blackberry Pearl, and before that Dell Axim alongside maybe a Nokia 6820? How far we’ve come!
Edit: I think this might actually have been from my HTC Hero… probably shortly before I move on to an HTC Desire or maybe even the Desire itself.
Edit 2: It must have been the Desire, resolution of 480x800 on the screenshot.
