What are some of your memorable smartphone experiences / moments?

What were some of your most memorable experiences or moments that you've had with your smartphones? Could be a feature, first impression, etc. Feel free to include iPhone experiences you might've had in the past as well (if that's not against the rules or anything...)

For me, one of 'em was definitely the first time trying out the Galaxy Fold. I, personally, love the large screen and all the benefits (practical or not) but just the folding mechanism is so cool and I still love folding and unfol...

Google's love affair with the navigation bar/pill

Ever since the introduction of navigation gestures there has been a little bar at the bottom of the screen, for some it's a waste of space. So people have figured out a way to hide it. Overscan worked well, but Google disabled that with Android 11. Then with the introduction of Android 12 it was discovered that you could use fabricate overlays to hide it. And with the 2022 security patch that is now also disabled. Now it can still be hidden with root but that's no viable for everyone.

Not sure if influencers purposely mislead or if they just read off spec sheets!

This video about the Realme GT 2 Pro popped up on my feed and I checked it out.

I was almost immediately thrown off by the video. He opens with how Realme is the fastest growing company in smartphone history. Totally glossing over the fact that they are an Oppo subbrand.

He compares it to Xiaomi. I mean if you were honest compar...
