Reviews on the First Android Phone of Each Major Manufacture

Quite a few years ago, the word Android was just a concept. But after the birth of the T-Mobile G1, the world's first Android smartphone, roughly 20,000 distinct Android devices was produced and this number continues to grow. It seems a little unfair to forget the very first Android fledglings. Even deleted data from Android internal memory can be recovered, why not dig out the old memory of Android pioneers of all major brands and take a look now!

Samsung Galaxy 17500

Back in 2009, the 1750 was one of Samsung's first Android handset. It featured a 3.2-inch AMOLED display, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a few of the Google apps that we probably take for granted today. It also boasted integrated GPS, and expansion slot. Despite it's flaws (mediocre call quality, inconvenient hard ware buttons), the Samsung Galaxy 17500 was surely some pretty high-end hardware at the time.

Huawei U8220/T-Mobile Pulse

As the world's third largest smart phone maker right now, Huawei became one of the first China-based manufacturers to jump on the Android bandwagon. Its first Android device Huawei U8220, also known as the T-Mobile Pulse, run on the Android 1.5 Cupcake operating system.

Motorola CLIQ / Motorola DEXT

The Motorola CLIQ was the first Motorola ever to using Google Android system, and was launched by early October 2009 in the UK. Unlike Motorola's products of the last several years, the CLIQ has Wi-Fi ability, a 5-megapixel camera and video recording, a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, an HTML browser, and a QWERTY keyboard. With all that, the Motorola CLIQ had all the necessary bells and whistles to step hard on the heels of its Android rivals at the time.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Here comes Sony with its first Android phone, Sony Ericsson Xpeira X10. It is rather high-end, equipped with a 1GHz Snapdagon processor, 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 480 x854 pixels and an 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus. However, its software features are just as impressing. What it adds to the Android universe is a personalized interface, called UX (from User eXperience). Basically, UX combines various entertainment and social media features.
