For Android’s 15-year anniversary, let’s look back at memories from a decade and a half, from meaningful connections to bugdroid superheroes.
My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.
I had the Motorola Atrix 4G, the cousin of this phone on AT&T. Phone itself was fine but the software support was abysmal. It only ever got one OS update to 2.3 (they promised and reneged on 4.0), then released an updated Atrix 2 like five months later that was better in every way, cost the same, and DID get the update.
