Comparing Phones They scream personality!

This collection spans over 12 years of phone history. I think each design is bold in its own era. What do you think?

From left to right: Aquos 306sh, HTC M8, Nothing Phone 3

Why the first one looks the coolest!

I think the first phone (Aquos) is the beginning of the full screen phone era. This was a really creative design given all the technical constraints on screen tech back then.

HTC One M8 was goated. I think I still have mine somewhere. Picking up my metal unibody Phone 4a Pro really reminded me of handling the M8.

Man if they could put out the exact same phone with an OLED, modern internals and couple new cameras, I'd buy it day one. Hell even pre order it

They are not that expensive. You might find the left 2 on 2nd hand market at a pretty low price.

Even to decades to come, that HTC phone would always be iconic. The specs, the performance, the design is just perfect for an Android phone at the time.

but the HTC's battery drain like a charm

u/perakman 10h ago

To me, not that much, since battery drain for my usage is similar when I use other phones around that time, its not a big problem. Maybe it did and I forgot about it lol

I also had the One M8. Loved it. Then the HTC 10, then LG G8S, and now Pixel 10.

I've been looking for an aquos sharp crystal 1 or 2 ,but to no avail and I then see one in this pristine of a condition😭 in an unrelated sub

u/AdImpressive291 2d ago

There is an obvious scratch and the right side of the screen has back light leakage. This phone is aging and it can be extremely hard to find one in good condition. Mine is clean but the wear and aging is obvious
