the sharp aquos crystal was definitely ahead of its time in regards to screen to body ratio

[Saulgoodmanman]

Whoever had the idea for this video is literally genius .

[Dragonkaiser]

Eh, people can shit on the LG Wing as much as they need to, but atleast they actually tried to actually innovate something. One thing I will always give credit to LG for is they werent afraid of trial and error.

[TheXlen]

Nokia N95 is arguably one of the most successful phones of all time.
Tbh I've got no idea whether this video is supposed to be serious or not because half of the devices absolutely destroy iPhones up to like 5, the other half not so much🤷

[EragoEntertainment]

The S4 was the best ever. Mine is still running, though I don't use it as my phone anymore, rather as device to test things.

It has an IR blaster, it had USB-Host, it had a headphone jack, micro SD Slot, you could even put on additional antennas for better reception.

Also Quad-core, 2GB of RAM and a 1080p OLED were great for the time. It was definitely better than the iPhones at the time.

Man I freaked out in that intro. I just color tuned my monitors, and thought I messed up.
Nice video!

[appleleptiker]

I need more videos like this where they just don't know what's gonna come because it's shuffled

[godrecall]

I've actually only ever seen this is videos on my LG Wing because I'm an Uber driver and that's when I discovered Austin's second channel and it's the only time I can listen/watch podcasts. Uber is a vertical only app and YouTube works very well on my secondary LG wing screen 🤷🏼‍♂️

htc sense ui 3.X is gorgeous even to this day.The weather live wallpapers which change based on the weather online was amazing.Sad that they seem to have removed them from newer htc's and u can't get them on other phones via app.

[michaelsmith]

Don’t forget the HTC One M7! Dual front speakers with Beats branding, metal body, ir blaster, curved back panel it was an awesome phone to use and hold

[iloveplasticbottles]

Moto G 2013 was definitely a good phone. I've owned many phones (Pixels, Motorolas, iPhone, Lumia, etc) and the Moto G 2013 definitely surprised me. There was plenty you could do with the carrier unlocked version, and it packed quite a punch for a 2013 phone.

[AstonGryffynn]

The Lumia could… if MSFT had actually cared.

[IntegraDIY]

The SideKick by Sharp was the best phone ever. Way before the first iPhone everyone I knew rocked the SideKick.

[miserablewzrd]

The HTC Dash was a top tier phone in its day. Had Windows XP mobile on it and a physical keyboard.
Plays Doom 100% would recommend in 2007.

Try out a Nokia n9, nothing beaten it to date. Meego harmattan was the future of Nokia, could dual boot Android if you wanted. Best overall camera off the era, always on display fully customizable. All Twitter, Facebook, sms Instagram feed a swipe away and no buttons anywhere. True multitasking, it was easily the best phone i have had as a daily driver. Still boot it up

[buddychrist]

The LG Wing was a great phone. The fact you had a full screen without a section of screen being cut out for the front camera was great. The way you can hold and record with it was neat, but the big flaw was not being able to record in 4k in the flipout form. the pop out front camera was a little noisy but worth having that full screen. Accessories were a problem like cases. No one could make a case for it that actually worked. If they integrated the Magnetic backing like apple did then it would have been possible and the features of having it flipped out would have added more positive features. LG has always had a hard time implementing features they created. They have great ideas but poor execution because they don't take the time to fine tune them and hopped the user would figure out the pros of them. RIP LG phones.

This was a great stroll down memory lane and made me feel really old. I remember people that swore by the N95 even after the iPhone came out

[coreymatthews]

I always wanted sidekick to stick around. Had the I.D., the slide, and the 4g version. The I.D. Was my favorite that I owned, but my friend had the tony hawk editions and those were amazing.

The Fire phone was actually a great deal once Amazon offloaded their stock onto ebay sellers and you could get one new for about $150. I used the amazon fire phone for about 4 years, it was a really good phone with linage os installed on it. The phone hardware was actually pretty decent for the time, what made the phone function so slow was amazon's horrendous 3d OS thing. Now for the original $600 the hardware probably was not great, but for $150 that was some powerful hardware. Amazon's Fire OS was so terrible and it had so much 3d BS requiring the phone to run full tilt all of the time. This made the phone have no battery life and it ran super slow because all of the hardware was being used to run silly effects. I cannot believe that anyone at Amazon could have approved that thing to sell if they had attempted to use it for even 10 minutes it was just atrocious. With linage os the phone was fast and had great battery life, although the stupid 3d camera array thing confused the hell out of most apps that tried to access the camera.

Totally forgot to mention how the Razer phone could slot into a proprietary laptop dock and become a computer. Also I had the Sony experia I loved it.
