I, for one, will keep waiting for Android 18.

My god, the memes that will drop when Android 18 releases. Now that I think about it, I’m surprised I haven’t seen any for Android 13 or 14.
I miss my sliding keyboard on my original Motorola Droid
I still have a G1 in a drawer, every couple years I find it again and spend a few minutes flipping the screen open and shut. What a fun mechanism.
What happened to those doomsayers who claimed fragmentation will kill the ecosystem. And yet here we are.
The other side of fragmentation is making accessible a usable smartphone for those who might not otherwise have access.
I think the availability of Android does lead to more affordable devices.

I was in preschool when Android came out, crazy how far times gone.
Cool I feel ancient
Stop making me feel old, godamnit.
The G1….brings back memories 🥲

My first Android phone was a Samsung Galaxy S, and the main reason I picked it back then was that some apps, mainly Anki, were free on Android but you had to pay for them on iOS (even when both are from the same open-source project), and I thought it would be cool to be able to go through my flashcards during my commutes. Oh and you could remove the back cover and easily replace the battery on that one.
Mine was the HTC Dream. Had some issues with the radio, so it would just lose signal (without telling you) for hours.
I didn’t know anything about Android, but I heard you could flash a new radio. I followed some random guide, bricked the phone, and gave up on Android until the Nexus 4.
Yeah that was my first too. I remember that I found the S2 ridiculously large when it came out. Also I was super jelous for the build quality of the iPhone 4 which was released at the same time. Glad that these times are over.
god I miss my G1
Bring back Holo, cowards

I miss my motorola that looked like r2d2
I think I returned mine and stuck with the HTC Dash for a year or two more until the software was better.
I got my first Android, a G1 from a store in Downtown. It was the best transition to a smartphone from a Sidekick LX (the brown one). Wow… it’s been 15 years since then. That’s nuts.
Happy birthday!
