Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

African_Grey@beehaw.org to Technology@beehaw.org – 27 points –

Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?

In October of 1998 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.

1998?! Try 2008.

I edited the typo in the post but edits suck on federated social media and don’t update on all instances. This is like the 5th I’ve seen this comment.

1998, man? Try 2008. 🤪

Jesus H Christ do any of you read the comments? I've seen this reply like 6 times now. I edited the typo but federation and edits are like oil and water.
