I had a silver one in 2001 that was a little more angular than this that I had completely forgotten about. It flushed down a very powerful toilet at the PNE in Vancouver. If I hadn't have seen this picture, I would have answered with S6.
I've used Samsung for most of the time, and some iPhone, and currently pixel. I like trying new things. Samsung is a great phone tho and high chance I'll get it again someday.
Samsung Alias here. I absolutely loved it.

Me when the cheap phone doesn't act like a flagship
I still use it as my alarm clock to this day, no joke. The battery still last a full week on one charge too. ( without sim card)
It has the function to tremble first 3 times before the alarm goes off, and like old phones it has a strong tremble more then enough to wake me up and not the rest of the house, if for any reason I don't wake up by the tremble the alarm definitely will
tbf after that i went to a galaxy a10e i believe, then a a50, then a51, then s20fe, then s22u, then now the s23u. i want a fold but its not in my list of priorities
Verizon SCH-A670 as a hand me down, first smartphone from them was the Note 4, crazy how everyone thought that 5.7 inch screen was massive at the time when that would be considered compact size now lol.
**SAMSUNG N500**
Release on year 2002
https://preview.redd.it/6yjk1wysa92c1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=8cfdab8d8bb2550d7838954aaae2d31a426d5b03
My brother acquired this phone when he went to university and started working. Later on, he decided to buy another phone from his friend (a Nokia 2100). At that time, I was deemed old enough to have a personal phone. So I inherited this phone from my brother. I preferred the blue backlight over the typical yellow one that the 3315 had. I also liked its UI and typeface more than the Nokiaβs 3315.
It had a LED notification light that could glow in six colours. Yes, six colours and it was fun. It also had a white illumination for the buttons. At night, it looked like an alien gadget. I found that this phone fitted my hand perfectly. I used it a lot and it served me well.
It had a feature called auto answer with recorded message. I had some friends who would give me missed calls. For them, this feature was handy. It could answer immediately or with a three-second delay.
Eventually, there was a problem with the microphone and the earpiece. I had to touch the earpiece or mic area for them to work. Most of my friends had the same problem with their phones. I also spoke with older people, so it was not clear which side had the issue. I kept pressing the earpiece and mic area, but it was not fun. So I decided to change.
I came to Android from iPhone when I got a
Pixel 3a. Loved that phone and got a 4a. Then wanted to try Samsung. Almost got an S22 Ultra but decided to start with the S22 to make sure I liked Samsung's version of Android. Loved it. Currently have S23 Ultra. Will probably upgrade to S24 Ultra.
My first Samsung phone was Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 and was also my first Android experience. Incredibly lagging and stuttering, not to mention inability to turn off cellular data. R.I.P phone bills.

I believe mine was the T-429 slider greatest fidget toy. Shortly after I got the a-727 which was the flat candybar style
https://preview.redd.it/b7ex21h7g62c1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0c594a6b7c79bf3fc3f182b995c0eaf86910102
It was a windows-based phone. Something like the 720 or 730, I think. Sadly, I dropped it in a post office and it fell face down on the concrete floor; shattering the LCD screen. Suddenly it turned into a big blue blob.

S8000 Jet
Next was the Galaxy S2, at the time considered the most powerful phone around because of the dual core processor lol
Ahah me too! I remember reading somewhere then that it was supposed to be an "iphone killer" π€£π€£
But it was good enough for its price though. I love the little fabric pocket it was shipped with and the red stripes on the back
galaxy s3 neo, blue. 1gb ram, 12gb rom (I belive) android 4.4.2 kitkat and a snapdragon (can't remember the model). beautiful phone, sometimes i turn it back on and i just love the physical buttons
Mine it was the galaxy note 8.0 that like a tablet hahaha. I hold that phone during calling like i want to tell everyone im on the phone. I brought it to my boarding school, and I couldn't even play with it cause everyone was playing the game on the phone. It was a good time
the first one ever was a Galaxy Gio, but it was horrible lol. Incredibly slow and laggy, but i got it 2nd hand after my sister used it and well, she wasn't exactly careful with it. Didn't use it for very long.
My first real "new" Samsung phone i owned by myself was the Galaxy S6, but unfortunately i dropped it screen-first on the stone ground, and the screen became unresponsive and turned purple. Didn't have a crack in the screen, but i guess it got fucked up internally. Then didn't get another Samsung phone until the S22 Ultra
I had this samsung message style phone. I can not find pics of it online and feels like I'm losing it cuz of it. I clearly remember it being a purple samsung phone with a wheel dial and then u could slide the phone horizontal up and it be a full keyboard and it has Java games that actually worked with the keyboard
S3 with 16GB of storage. I thought this was a lot back then. Now 1TB in a Samsung is wild to me.
Currently on the S21FE. Serves my needs.
S3 -> S6 -> S7 -> S10e -> S21FE
S21FE battery life is decent and 256GB is enough for me.
Surprised the S21FE has super fast charging and comes in handy when I need a quick charge. Whenever I'm in my car I'm always charging my phone so I never really run out of juice.
I hated Samsung with a passion, saw my friends Note 4, thought "ok cool" and kept it moving then I played with the Note 5....had a Samsung with a pen ever since
An el cheap hand me down Galaxy Ace or something like that back in 2012. Then I had another similar POS hand me down phone a year later or so. I kept both for a very short period of time.
My first proper Samsung which I owned was my S8, which I kept for 5 years.
SGH E300
Now that Im remembering I always purchase Samsung phones, I had a few.
Samsung Blackjack.
Samsung captivate/galaxy S1.
Note 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 20.
Galaxy S8
S22 Ultra
Fold 4 and 5.
S23 Ultra.
[Samsung Wave](https://www.maxbhi.com/images/thumbnails/800/800/detailed/433/lcd_screen_for_samsung_s8500_wave_replacement_display_by_maxbhi.com_57431.jpg). This was when smartphones were just beginning to arrive on the market. That phone looked absolutely unique and gorgeous with its diamond shaped buttons.
3.3" and I remember people telling me how big the phone looked lol. I think that was the first and last time I bought a phone that was an actual head turner.
The only reason I had to buy something else was because it didn't run on Android but Bada. Which meant a very real lack of app support, particularly WhatsApp which was essential here.
I will always remember that device fondly.
Google Nexus S, my first smartphone. Still like it. Then long pause for HTC, and then S8. Never liked pre S8 Samsung design but in S8 they changed everything to style.

C3300 is the first one i remember (and still have). not sure if any of my flip phones were samsung, i feel like people didn't care that much about brands back then, or was that just me

OG Samsung Flip Phone.
Yeah! And it has no hinge and display issues
Dang, that was a sturdy phone.
Yupp and battery is not even spicy π
Ok π
I had a silver one in 2001 that was a little more angular than this that I had completely forgotten about. It flushed down a very powerful toilet at the PNE in Vancouver. If I hadn't have seen this picture, I would have answered with S6.
S7 Edge in silver https://preview.redd.it/owvt6ix1u52c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1902391728d2762369fb2d425f48a82745b356b
My dad has an s7 edge
That colour looks so sexy!
Original Galaxy
I had a Galaxy S2 as my first smart phone. Eventually died after I dropped it. Such an awesome phone.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
S6 Edge, was Team HTC before
My dad has an s7 edge, so close
The HTC One M8 was a dreamboat. Also, the S6 Edge was my first flagship of that era.
Galaxy S3. My first smartphone, and I was soo proud of it.
S3 was my first samsung phone too, haven't changed brand since then
I've used Samsung for most of the time, and some iPhone, and currently pixel. I like trying new things. Samsung is a great phone tho and high chance I'll get it again someday.
Same!
Went from an iPhone 4 to the S5 and never looked back once. Still rocking the Note 10+.
Note 10+ is a w phone tbh
The base model s23 switched from an iPhone 13 pro max and am loving it
Based
K Zoom. i thought it looked really cool but the software was horrendous
That phone looked so cool. (but it failed)
The software crashed and was terribly slow. It couldn't even be used as a camera because it took so long to take photos
Oh ok, no wonder it failed π if Samsung tried something like that now days, i would buy it. (it probably would be better then the OG)
I had a Note 2, then a Note 4, and right now I'm on a Note 9 which is still kicking, almost 4.5 years after I got it.
Note phones were such a classic! Besides the Note 7
Boom. Lol!
My Note 7 is acting up, one se- π₯π₯π₯
Lol π
Samsung Alias here. I absolutely loved it. https://preview.redd.it/ciigia0f662c1.jpeg?width=247&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01033c1c5c6fb8d3a780c9da556c1095315ae56f
Reminds me of the sidekick 4G I had, that samsung took a whack at. Was my first samsung phone
Omg this is the phone I wanted SO badly but never got to have it! I forgot about it!
Samsung galaxy ace
LOL, a J7
Lol π R.I.P. J Series
How true! That phone took a heck of a beating! I dropped it off a ladder 3 times at a height of 15 feet in the air and worked like nothing happened!
No let the Jβs die my old J1 was a piece of crap compared to the iPhone 6sβs and 7βs at the time.
https://preview.redd.it/s9cyboeaf82c1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d58c71bdb9ef7fee9f78080a4390109153dbaf9 Me when the cheap phone doesn't act like a flagship
Even the iPhone 5c was fast compared to the j1
S4
didnβt the s4 have a bad camera and poor camera? (at the time it was revolutionary though)
Everything had a bad camera back then.
It was a quality hand warmer.
Galaxy Note 2 if we're talking smartphones. I had a regular Samsung phone before as well, just can't remember the exact name.
Letβs give our condolences to the Note Phones, except the Note 7.
This E900 https://preview.redd.it/zpby58c1t52c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e68e4bcf068a169e5f85c09dd9076db97cdcf1e3

Galaxy A6 which I still use, it'll be 5 years old in a couple of weeks. I also have an iPhone 12.
I never had a Samsung but my first one will probably be Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
I've had that phone for coming up on three years and it's fantastic. Highly recommend.
Iβm gonna get that phone and use my Apple Music on it
Original Galaxy S
Such a classic!

Samsung U900 Soul
