Early 2010s Android phones were the golden era, you can’t change my mind

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-21 05:30:00

Robert Triggs / Android Authority After recently reminiscing about my favorite camera phones, it occurred to me that my fondest time writing about and playing around with smartphones all happened in a rather short period of time — the early 2010s. Of course, there were great phones before then and plenty of technically superior ones after that sliver of time. However, I still think 2010-2015 represents the most exciting time to be a smartphone aficionado, and not just because of the hardware.
