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.
The first Android phone in our family was my mother's Samsung Galaxy Ace. And naturally, I've used that phone more than she did. As a kid I considered that swipe keyboard as mankind's greatest achievement. I would send lengthy SMS to friends and family because typing was suddenly so easy.
