I Tested 42 Years of Phones!

This is one of the biggest projects we've ever put together – took us about 4 months in the background to source, research and shoot it all – REALLY hope you learned something 🙏

Sigh, back when phones didn't cost near 2k in a mass market.

I wish you had mentioned the Windows Mobile phones like the HTC Tilt which that generation that kicked off the custom ROM movement. I was actually sad to see that go but then Android and Apple took over.

That 3310 made a hole in the ground btw!

You haven’t got anything better to do?

I don’t see Motorola’s revolutionary Tri-Band GSM released December 1999 in your opening photo.
Why not?!

Damn.

we both have 1st phones are ZTE blade

This coulda been an hour video and still be a banger, amazing work Arun!

Love this video well done

Too bad windows phones are not mentioned

The bag phones were the most powerful portable phones ever made at 5 watts. The reason was at the time was there wasn't enough cell towers built at that time so the only way to make them work was the sheer power of them. Now cell phones have a mere .75 to 1 watt total.

Sooo many ICONIC phones!

2110, 6110, 3310 was the best. INDESTRUCTIBLE. TANKS. My friend accidentally dropped it in concrete and it was still ringing for the day, i guess the charge went after that. The concrete is still there…..

I am watching this on a iPhone 6S.

I am getting my monies worth out of it no matter what.

I feel like skipping some of the early 2000's phones that had interesting ways to open the keypad or keyboard, is a disservice to the innovation at the time. The T-Mobile sidekick where the screen spun 180 degrees, or the Nokia 6800 opens like a clamshell, or the Siemens SK65 where it starts as a bar shaped phone, but you type while in a cross shape. But leaving out the Nokia Banana phone is a sin, as it was literally the Matrix phone! There were so many cool phones back in those days

Note and Ultra series will always be my preference

I used to work for NEC back in the late 90's, early 2000's. I worked on the Chip surface mount line, making the boards for their phone the DB2000. NEC folded their phone operations and the whole site got flattened. They held massive market share with Analogue phones, but were late the the Digital market, they hoped the DB2000 would turn around their fortunes…but it did not. Fun fact – the Glass screens never quite fit inside the housing, you would see the silver plastic edges around the sides, so we had teams working overtime with "Permament markers pens" to go around the edges, the stick the repalcement glass screen in… lol

At 13:00 min: I had those two phones as my first ones!
The 6110 my father gave me for my graduation. ☺️
The 3310 I got from a girlfriend, she didn't liked it (I don't remember why she didn't liked it. It wasn't as there where a huge variety of phones to pick from) she chose to use / have a land line instead. Maybe because it was cheaper to call from a land line)… 😊

I had a Razr V3 just before getting my first iPhone, the 3Gs.

29:01 and Samsung was the first company android decided to sell their entire company for 20million 😂😂😂😂
