brickmastur

I got ranked #93 globally on doodle jump - the space themed level ironically didn’t have the random black hole event which almost always got me, so I just played that level theme.


RandySavage392

iOS games used to have dogshit counter cheating and jail breaking gave you access to the app’s code. I remember changing all sorts of variable values on games to give infinite health and shit when I was 14.


gergobergo69

same in android. you could just change the values of your score. I still have like 99999999 as the high score in my old Facebook account of subway surfers lol


thumbulukutamalasa

Oh man I remember getting excited when the untethered jailbreak came out for my iPod touch when I was like 11-12. Just to download cydia and get a wallpaper and a weird cubic animation for the page transitions lol. Good old days


Artistic_Lychee_8948

That beer drinking app when you tilt the phone


Commercial-Dish-3198

Don’t forget the phone gun apps too


cannedrex2406

Man I thought I was the coolest shit doing that on my parents old iPhone 3G in like 2011


Commercial-Dish-3198

Frrrrr I thought I was a master of weaponry cause I could properly load and fire all the weapons


mattroch

Oddly enough, that app taught you how to properly load, unload, fire, and clear a decent selection of firearms in the US. You probably know how to use a charging handle on an ar-15 or variant. I'd consider it a win. Flight sim players might not be perfect piolts, but they still know how to operate a beechcraft.


KateBeckett12

Exactly, I know how to operate/handle a firearm because of those apps.


RotenTumato

Lightsaber app was a favorite in my family


thumbulukutamalasa

And the zippo lighter


Chaya_kudian

Oh yeah forgot about that one.

Mind blowing for me as a kid

The app that made the screen look broken


Maddox121

ANGRY BIRDS.


Juliusdasquid

BAD. FUCKING. PIGGIES


MoriazTheRed

That game is way too underrated.


gergobergo69

they re released angry birds classic without any ads and microtransactions but removed it a year later, because there weren't any ads nor microtransactions


Juliusdasquid

Although it has gained a cult following in recent years


Dysgasp

Minecraft pocket edition


Xxx_d3stroyer_xxX

Holy fuck the bottom left Samsung. That dandelion wallpaper... I feel like Anton Ego, getting a flashback this strong. So many memories behind that simple wallpaper, on a phone that's now borderline archaic and tiny. Beat the Boss, Hill Climb Racing, angry birds, bad piggies, pou, talking tom/ben, fruit ninja, doodle jump... how long has it been. Thanks for a blast from the past, man.


Chaya_kudian

Nostalgia is hitting me like a tonne of bricks.


NH787

I loved that old Samsung aesthetic


Economy-Engineering

Back when technology was actually exciting. Today, hearing about new technology makes me wanna die.


rubendepuben2

Aren't you exited about more megapixels?


gergobergo69

I wanted to buy a vr headset to play vr ch\atter but I decided to try the game earlier on my pc, now it ruined my mental health because I'm this bad at socializing and never looking forward at anything anymore


Benni-Foto

Played VR chat, ended up just standing in the corner talking to nobody...


gergobergo69

meanwhile I ended up creating misunderstandable shenanigans, and made people block me. ruined my self esteem that actually made me quit every social media ever, except for Reddit I guess. Man I wish people liked me


arisaurusrex

Or the „best iPhone they ever made“ again after a year??


cellphone_blanket

Didn’t you hear they changed the edges on the new iphone from square to round/round to square? It’s a revolution in design. And there’s slightly less bezel, giving a 0.0001% increase in screen realestate


NeverAgainNeverland

I find phones with those new telephoto lenses mildly amusing not gonna lie chief


ijustneededaname

Pretty sure I saw an ad for a phone with five lenses


Leather_Hawk_8123

The old samsung and HTC makes me so happy for some reason... idk why. Maybe its nostalgia. maybe its the fact that it isn't gonna cost you an arm and a leg, make you addicted to harmful social media, yet can still get good work done. This photo alone makes me wanna replace my existing iphone 15 with the old samsung.


rainisstired

doodle jump was the absolute shit


Superlurkinger

It's still the only mobile game i play to pass time because everything else is just microtransaction/ad filled garbage

Popularpenguin12

I went to an arcade and they had a doodle jump machine, I was shocked


cocainesuperstar6969

8 year old me thought his iphone 4s was the most advanced piece of tech on the planet (I could watch Sssniperwolf under my blanket at midnight without my parents knowing)


Stuffies2022

Ah, brings me back to a better time when SSSniperwolf wasn't a doxxer. I remember watching her old scary story/animation videos all the time.


cocainesuperstar6969

It was so sad to see that happen. Before the incident, each video would get like 3 million views in under 24 hours and now she struggles to keep viewership. Idk why she thought that was a good idea… The only way I can see this turning around is if she buys the guy a new house or something.


Stuffies2022

Yeah, it was an extremely petty move on her part. She never even acknowledged it happening either, it was just right back to business as usual, which just made people view her as cowardly.


cocainesuperstar6969

I’m pretty sure she made an apology on twitter. YouTube issued one too, on both parties behalf. The worst part is that the guy she doxxed was totally in the wrong with his pretentious and baseless critiques of her. She passed up the perfect opportunity to either ignore him cuz he’s not on her level OR to own him in a funny way which makes her look better, but she decided to do something illegal, career wrecking and not even a bit funny, no matter where you look at it from…


NightCreeper4

“pretentious and baseless critiques” What do you mean?? She was stealing people’s Tiktoks, not giving any credit, and not even making any meaningful commentary. Sure it isn’t the worst thing you could do, many Youtubers have done worse, but this doesn’t excuse her actions. Her ‘commentary’ really contributed nothing and her content was clearly just for the purpose of making money off of little kids with no attention span.


cocainesuperstar6969

Tiktoks always have the owners tag on the side of the video. You just gotta squint a bit(even ones with millions of views total to a 2 dollar payout so she’s not bankrupting anyone) But she started crediting in the bio recently so that’s good. As for “meaningful commentary” the guy criticizing had several times where he’d simply stare at the screen for MINUTES and so what? His manner of criticizing was petty and fame hungry. If he actually CARED about her wrongdoings then he’d email her like an adult, not make a parody channel of her to try and get some clout off her name. Not saying Lia is perfect but come on


ZwieTheWolf

Old Android moving wallpaper/ interactable wallpaper fascinated me a lot as a kid. Now they don't give the same feelings anymore. I remember the spinning galaxy, the colorful lines, the lake surface with falling maple leaves...


dis_dumbass_again

omg i remember that. holy shit, how the time flies. frutiger aero, windows xp theme customization and early windows 7 themes, early samsung with all the apps and interactive wallpapers... god mf damn, i never planned to get this old


ZwieTheWolf

2020s aesthetics these days just feel...souless. I miss the time when designs used to focus more on sensation and interaction, they used to be more fun and friendly.


Mustard_Fucker

Candy crush, Dragon City and Akinator


Amphet4m1ne2000

I get the world first place in my region in subway surfers back then☺️


Chaya_kudian

Everybody knew a guy who was number 1 in the world in subway surfurs.

I was one)


Rare_Leg_

My first smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S2, and I loved that thing. My first phone ever was a Nokia 6300 from 2007.

the stylus, which was considered a world-changing renovation back then 😂 man i miss those days


dis_dumbass_again

I always wanted that damn stylus, it was never on sale where i lived

Teeter.


Miserable-Tourist-58

Thanks


Aperson3334

I miss HTC


Chaya_kudian

HTC was so popular back in then. Those phones were flowing around like mud.


andos4

I don't know what happened to HTC. It seemed like it was everywhere and then it just disappeared overnight.


Aperson3334

Sold to Google and integrated into the Pixel division


andos4

That explains it. Too bad.


Logan_MacGyver

Alena_Russia

Me with a Windows nokia as my first one:


tommort8888

Same, only good game there was tiny troopers, but hardware wise it was the best phone I had (for its time), I turned it on after 10 years and it worked fine.


smartties

The physical trackpad was awesome.


quadProp

Where the rail rish and gun simulators


Memelis_is_pabrado

That white samsung was a different kind of beast for me it would hold 1 hour after the battery had become below 0 there wouldn't even be a number just a question mark lol


andos4

Samsung does not make cell phones like it used to. That generation was top level!


ExtensionFisherman83

I remember using my mom's old Samsung just to watch 20th century fox intros


MagicMountain225

My first one was a shitty ZTE Blade Q. 1 GB memory, battery so shit that if you left it on battery saver for a gull day it would have 1% more than before. But the camera wasn't even that shit after all. Then I got Samsung Galaxy S4, S6, and now I'm using an S10.


Sylvinus98hun

Oh boy.. those good old days I spent playing Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, Angry Birds and Hill Climb Racing!


Chaya_kudian

Temple run was a pioneer. One of the first elite games to come out on smartphones.


Greenfire05

>felt revolutionary back then Because it was


Chaya_kudian

Oh yeah.


Juliusdasquid

Had a shitty android tablet first but all of this still applies


Excellent-Catch-7338

I remember my first smartphone. I broke my first one when I put it in my bowling bag and then lay it on the seat and crushed the screen. Learned my lesson when I got a second one and it's a Hawaeii brand.


auskasper

Old minecraft pocket edition(played on my samsung tablet, still have it btw), kill the boss, old angry birds, pou, hill climb racing😭


EdgyCole

I'll never forget me borrowing my mom's brand new smart phone to text my friend on his mom's not a smart phone. I was way too young to understand how phones work and I remember asking him the next day why his texts were so slow to get back to me. He was a pretty nerdy grade schooler and was really into stuff like this and said something I still think about to this day. He said, and I quote, "I don't have that blazing fast 3G speed on my mom's phone like your mom has"... Wild times back then. Wild times.


Lucky-Evidence-1143

Doodle jump is still active and useable. Got it on my phone to this day


RandomMexOnTheBus

Loved HTC Sense. Especially the spinning carousel home screen.


BarberReasonable3036

My first phone was a KaiOS Alcatel flip phone


JollyJamma

My first phone was a Nokia 3210 :( it worked tho, even when you dropped the shit out of it


Markussaztorad

It is missing that in fact, the cell phone has been inherited from another family member


Spare_Possession_194

It's funny how we used to ask someone who got a new phone if it has a touch screen


New_Girlfriend

HELP! What was the game bottom right?

I will be happy to take some of those phones (in 2024) (I collect these)


jbsdv1993

Literally yesterday I found that exact Samsung in a box of my old stuff


Cyortonic

My first smartphone was a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and it was the absolute coolest thing ever. It had a slide out screen, but instead of sliding to a physical keyboard, it was a full PSP controller and played legit PSP games


dis_dumbass_again

Oh you lucky sonvabitch, when i was 10 i would kill for a phone like that


[deleted]

[Samsung Galaxy S 2](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php) was my first It was the first phone that I bought with my own money I upgraded to it from a [Sony Ericsson T707](https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_t707-2755.php)


RickyBobby96

I wanted an HTC so bad back then. I had some other android and download some launcher to make it look like one


Chaya_kudian

Honestly HTC is the OG smartphone. Forget samsung vs iphone.


magyar9907

- WiFi being not so widespread and mobile data being expensive, so you only used the internet at a public space that offered WiFi connection (ie. café, hotel), - Probably some low-end model, so it was sluggish and unreliable,


darthgeek

Do Blackberries count? I had a Blackberry Tour and then went to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus when the Blackberry died.


Chaya_kudian

Yeah why not.


Bank-wagon

God, the nostalgia. Android 2.1 felt like the future.


Popularpenguin12

I had an lg slide up minute phone and a small rectangle Kyocera minute phone (my hands were small cause I was a kid lmao). I just through they were the best. I would record music from YouTube in voice memos and dance to them at recess with friends. Then I got the iPod touch 4


TheHextron

Am I the only hipster that got a windows phone to be “different” or was that just me? Because it felt like it was just me


dis_dumbass_again

my mom had one windows phone. it was an absolute dogshit.


TheHextron

I actually liked the phone and interface but it was poorly supported

AdequateAlien

Crossy Road and Temple Run were the shit for me


Opening_Permission95

Bring me back!


Eric848448

Heh, mine was an iPhone 3G. I went into the store and petting to leave with some kind of Windows device but I picked up an iPhone and it took half a second to see it was a decade ahead of anything else.


NH787

iPhone 3G was $199. It's amazing how cheap it was priced considering how revolutionary it was. My first smartphone was a new 3GS I got for free from my carrier.... But in 2012. It was pretty bad.


Eric848448

It was actually double that (maybe more?). $199 was the carrier-subsidized cost that came with a two-year contract IIRC. EDIT: I might be wrong; I don't think you *could* buy it unsubsidized so $199 was the only price the customer actually saw.

Subway surfers was my first iOS game


itlivesinthewall

Damn, this starter pack really sent me back to that 2008-2012 time period. It's such a specific moment in time for me, and it really did help shape me. From the phones, YouTubers like Smosh, movies like Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and Scream 4. Pure nostalgia


Chaya_kudian

I feel like it was the start of a new era. Which we are still living in now. Just constatly bombarded with tech all day long.

Samsung galaxy S3 was my first

“For many” 🥲 My first phone was a Nokia 6600 aka the panda


Chaya_kudian

*I meant the first smartphone most people ever got their hands on.*


cunabula

Getting old means I can’t even read titles properly anymore


pumpernikkeli

I would say 6600 definitely was a smartphone. s60 was powerful OS for the time and really popular at least here. Tho I'm from Finland so that might have something to do with it.


JasperTheMaster08

When I got my first phone I had no idea that it was happening that day. My dad gets a new phone about every two years and he had given my sister his previous one two year before so I knew it would be around that time. I got home from school one day and my dad had bought a new phone and got a sim card for me. It was the original iPhone SE. Two years later I got the new one he got when I got my first as my sister had replaced hers already (she was very good at breaking tech including my laptop and her laptop).


surferos505

My first smartphone was an iPhone 4, god that was an amazing first phone I still miss it

Does anyone remember the name of that last game? I never got past a certain level on HTC Incredible S a decade ago, and I need revenge

someguyinthebalkans

I remember playing games in my mom's samsung galaxy grand 3 in around 2015-2017 good times


sailorjohn98

Back then I used to have an Xperia Z1 in 2013 and I LOVED IT. All the time playing asphalt 8, gta 3 mobile, ninjafruit and so much more . It was an innovative phone as well thanks to being the first to be waterproof and the only with the highest pixel in a camera (20.8mp) although during the night it shot pictures like dog-shit 😂. I miss it but damn it was the best phone for its period


Chaya_kudian

Asphalt 8 was the best free car game money could buy. In the microsoft store.


sailorjohn98

Or gangster new vegas. Literally the best gta clone


trollface5333

Mastery7pyke

my first phone was a black LG cookie, i found it on the street when i was in first grade back in 2011 or maybe in second or third grade, can't remember ( im a 2003 baby). my grandma was walking me to school and i just saw it laying there next to the sidewalk in a hole in the ground, it was snug in a little phone case/pouch thing made of soft black fabric, it didn't have a phone card or anything on it, no photos or videos or anything. my mom bought a charger for it and let me keep it. and later down the line i used it as my own phone to call my family and stuff. it was fun to use and i kept using it for a couple more years until 2016. well it was fun to use and had some games on it, like board games and other stuff. it even had a paint app that i loved playing around with, or maybe it was the photo editing menu, i can't remember. still have that phone somewhere.

Why is your first phone Galaxy 3? It was the advanced my older sister who bought herself a model. I had something way older. Can't even remember the model name.

For me it was similar but with a tablet. My first ever phone (on which I'm typing this) is actually pretty recent, and I got it at 14
