Autofill is the best feature that was introduced in Android 8 Oreo. Can't imagine my app logins without it.

Man I miss naming new android version after a sweet treat, it was a big thing guessing what the next version will name after.

Froyo is when most people start getting their first smartphone. Honeycomb is for tablet. Lollipop is what define Android as we know it today. I remember all of that.

Now It's just cold hard version number that doesn't really mean anything.

The HTC "G1" really earned the name "Dream." It was my first smart phone during a time when I already had an iPod Touch, and I loved everything about the Android, from its physical keyboard (and nub-like mouse-ish thing!) to the fact that it had a MicroSD card and a user-replaceable battery, to the fact that you could sideload apps without jailbreaking! It looked, felt and worked like a TNG-era tricorder (and yes, I had the app for that) and felt like a real and unique tech device for nerds, unlike the iPhone clones that would come along to dominate.

I upgraded to the HTC "G2, " which was very much a thematic successor, with that tricorder feel but sleeker, slimmer and faster, and that was and still is my favorite phone I've ever owned.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

The year was, 2011, its my first ever android phone. How time flies fast. I miss my Xperia Pro Mini. Its sleek style is always a catcher whenever I pull it out then use the keyboard.

Growing up to see and use most of these: ICS and Lollipop were game-changing updates. Marshmallow refined Material Design set by Lollipop and, imo, was the Pinnacle Android experience.

Jellybean and Kitkat, both my favorite versions EVER. Would love a short video on the evolution of LineageOS/Cyanogenmod and custom ROMS.

I'd love to see a "samsung" vs android, bc I think Galaxy phones got many of those futures 1-2 years before Android natively supported it.

Now I know to go back to 4.4 to get rid of all the ridiculous notifications

[Krunkeridleios]

This is much more of a stock video feel than a informative video about how the UI changed or how the actually ram management change or anything else more informative

"And you could even play GIFs (yes i say gifs)" you and me both James 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Only OGs remember having to go into the settings app (or widget) to change [Screen Brightness].

[Starfals]

I still use 4.2 Android tablet and its amazing. I love how cool the UI looks. They kept dumbing it down after that version I feel like. VIsuals wise of course, altho I do like how clean (and simplistic) the new version can look too.

Followed Android since the beginning, every older version is nostalgic to me for different reasons lol

[dan_loup]

I'm waiting for Android 16/17/18 because things will be quite fun.
13 is not that bad, with the trucker hat and all, but movie characters don't quite count

Around Lollipop was peak Android for me. I REALLY loved Material Design. It was so sleek. It moved Android from looking like a borderline bootleg device to a truly modern phone

[DustyTheDog]

I upgrade my phone so infrequently that I went from Android 6 on my Note 4 to Android 11 on my current Galaxy S20 FE 5G(now at Android 12). WOWEE what a difference. I had a Samsung Tab 7 (the one form 2011) that had 3.0 on it. I didn't really like it, and wished it was more like my phone, since I used the phone more.

Every iOS version video would take about 10 seconds:
2008: Smart phone with touch screen
2021: added widgets

Back in the 7th grade/Honeycomb days, my group made a presentation about android at school for a project in computer class. I'm now in college majoring in computer engineering.

Man, how far has android come :D

I had the Samsung Epic with 2.1 Éclair as my first Android phone. And first OLED. That phone made me realize how great OLED was.
Gingerbread was I think the biggest update for mass marketability. That was a turning point for a lot of app support and UI experience I feel like. Very few apps made after Gingerbread ran on 2.2 or earlier. KitKat/Lollipop was for sure the evolutionary change where android really felt good and smooth and much more iOS like in just kind of working on everything.
