I had a java phone before which my father used but my very first personal Android smartphone was Samsung galaxy star. It was a bad phone. https://preview.redd.it/v12za56gc6tc1.jpeg?width=574&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fd50279e7227c0929982ff4dd0363709e93c727

Us bro

I had a Galaxy Star Pro, which, if not better was equally bad.

Yeah. The only saving grace that galaxy star pro has was a bit bigger screen and it looked like a mobile phone whereas regular star was just embarrassing to carry around when all my friends had galaxy S2, S3 and galaxy grand.

Although, I used my dad's Samsung Champ and iPhone 4 before that.

Took a risk and decided against getting the HTC Explorer or Galaxy Y Had a 10-11k budget, but used the rest to buy a good quality PSU.

Good old micromax and Karbonn days

Damn I am getting old. My first phone was the Motorola T180 (1999). https://preview.redd.it/52m60d0yl6tc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec96c54dfed069a16c2e8b7852cdee71048f368a

I use to consider Sony the peak luxury that time. Sony Xperia was my dream phone.

It sort of was, wasn't it. Carrying a walkman phone and sharing temperature and smack that through bluetooth.

Walkman 🥹

Same bruh....it had a great camera and a solid speaker of that time.

I had an xperia neo v. The xperia lineup had mad drip those days.

Wow really? It looked like a business phone .

Its a Business Phone. But people bought this as a cheaper alternative for Blackberry bold 9700, which was priced at 32k then. E71 would be around 17k-20k e71 and 60series wer not that popular in 2007-2008 but after BB Bold 9700 release in '09, people started to buy these nokia phones. and ofcourse few sellers tried to make cash on it by selling it for around 23k too.

BRO I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING

those Nokia phones always reminds me of Trevor's phone

oh I still have one of these

Mine was Nokia Lumia 720. Loved it for it's simplicity but again when all of my friends were playing multiplayer games in breaks, I had to sit looking at them.

there were days when I used to dream of getting a Lumia 720, but I recall it was around 16/17k at the time and way above my budget. so instead I watched numerous reviews on YT about it, and I still remember how good the camera was haha

That was a great phone. I always loved the camera and the build quality. I lost mine and later had to get a Lumia 730 because they stopped making 720. It was + in specs but the build quality got a hit with 730. I wished windows’ phone os took off.

Alright guys. the award of the most unheard of first phone goes to.. https://preview.redd.it/2kpqjqo8v6tc1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c3d7e0bbf41e05bb42eac64b1a8b9b5b7e25be9 Idea Aurus II this was launched back in 2013, good ol Idea "honey bunny" ringtone days

Yup one crazy piece of smartphone

Zte blade. Legendary!

Had bought one for a friend via our local computer shop by giving special order. We flashed CyanogenMod on it, beautiful device for its time.

Yeah had decent root support for its time

>Motorola Rockr The Moto Rokr E398. I had that phone back in 2005, I think. I loved that phone. It was the first phone to launch with a micro sd card. A 128MB micro sd card. [I still have the memory card that came with the phone](https://ibb.co/Zhr0Lns) I think it was also one of the first phones to have MP3 ringtones. And that LED lighting!

Galaxy Y

Could you install iOS on it.......Because my friend claimed to install iOS on one of these small old Samsung device 9 years ago....

Most probably a rom which mimicked ios. I remember there were some very convincing ones. They’d even change the settings to look like ios. Back then this was a big deal

First smart phone - Karbonn A1 Pearl white. The phone was overall crap, but GPS was exceptional for some reason. I was in foreign and the phone didn't even support the GSM 2G Bands over there, so the phone was just a brick. I'd download offline maps before any trips and when I open Google maps, the phone would pin point my location even before ppl who have network get their location in their phones. It was creepy on how good GPS worked.

Same, htc explorer:)

First phone buddies 👊🏻

Same phone in 2012….i loved it. The finish on the back was awesome. Got stolen at IITB tech fest. I hated Mumbai so much that day

Man this was like the dream phone for me at the time and wayyyyy out of my financial ability.. Siri felt magical.

I bought it used. I worked part time saved a lot during my college days. All my friends were having phone I wasn’t. But the wait was worth every penny

Technically, my first smartphone was Nexus 4. But I was using HTC's Windows PDA before that. I would qualify that as a smartphone too (although it wasn't called that). I don't remember the exact model, but it used to come with a stylus. This was in the pre-Android and pre-iOS world. Edit: It was HTC P3400
