In the seven years that Android officially available to consumers, there have been many developments. We also saw hundreds of smartphones running this operating system. We 9iconische devices put in a row, which have contributed to what Android is now.
The devices mentioned in the list below are not necessarily been the best smartphones with Android, but they mean a lot, each in their own way.
1. T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream
Here, we can not ignore, the T-Mobile G1, also known as the HTC Dream. This was the very first Android device for consumers and was equipped with a physical keyboard. Seen by many as one of the ugliest smartphones ever, but it all started here. When Android was for the geeks, but the development has not stopped.
2. HTC Hero
In 2009, the HTC Hero was launched, a device which many looked forward to. The Hero was equipped with the now familiar ‘chin’, a small kink at the bottom of the unit including trackball. Even though there were a lot of delivery problems and the Hero was delayed, however this was a smartphone that Android has given a nice move in terms of sales
3. HTC Desire
The first real sales success of HTC was the HTC Desire, even though they were responsible body in the early years for a large part of the cast Android smartphones. The HTC Desire looked – for that time – good and brought design and specs better together. Here also used recognizable optical trackball to navigate through Android as an alternative to the touch screen.
4. Nexus One
With the Nexus One was the official kick-off data for the Nexus line as we know it today. HTC came from the factories of the HTC One, the first Android device with a processor clocked at & gt; 1 GHz. Not only that was unique, the fact that rapid updates were promised for the Nexus line, a promise that still stands
5. Samsung Galaxy S
The Samsung Galaxy S marked the official breakthrough of Samsung in the smartphone market. This unit went there many millions worldwide over the counter and made sure that Android became more mainstream. Also entered the custom ROM development completely unrelated to this unit where there are many, if not hundreds of alternative Android versions were developed
6. Samsung Galaxy Note
The Samsung Galaxy Note has opened up a completely new category of smartphones. The phablet was pretty groundbreaking for its time, but has now become commonplace in the smartphone world. High-end devices with a smaller screen than 5 inches there are practically no and the Galaxy Note series has created a new category in the range.
7. HTC One
The HTC One was a bold choice of HTC, a full metal smartphone with unique design choices. In design terms, the plane was more than well received and ensured that the emphasis was placed less on specs. It was further examined by potential buyers: design, look and “feel” from a smartphone were more important
8. Nexus 5
In 2013 came the Nexus 5, as the name suggests, the fifth device in the Nexus series. What here particularly special about it, was that good hardware has been given a more than reasonable price. The Nexus 5 is also the best-selling Nexus smartphone to date and there are still many copies in circulation
9. Moto G
The Moto G was the end-of-year surprise from Motorola, then still part of Google. The Moto G was good and affordable, unique at that time. There was some good hardware offered at a price level of below € 200, at that time, certainly not common. This series, which has now been two versions, further, has managed to generate many sales for Motorola
Actually, this is the time we are waiting for a new icon for Android, but the manufacturer is make this? Is this list complete? Or wrong example devices such as the OnePlus One? Or maybe the LG G2? Or Sony Xperia Z?
