How does the Galaxy S7 comes out when compared to the first commercial Android world, the HTC Dream (or T-Mobile G1)? An unfair comparison, but interesting to have a sense of how we got here in a period of almost eight years, to see how we got here. Announced in 2008, the HTC Dream brought a “new” system called Android, the newly competitor Google in relation to the iPhone, announced in 2007, and a “unique design”, which today could repulse if it was used in a recent smartphone . Interestingly, he brought a dedicated button on the camera back. Yes, only for the rear camera, since no front camera that time, not even on the iPhone ( “selfie” what is that?).
the channel Youtube Canoopsy made some comparisons between them. On the one hand, the model that gave rise to the most widely used platform in the world, who bravely survived to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean via CyanogenMod. On the other, the Galaxy S7, one of the fastest current models in any of its versions (Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890), already announced with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Compare the performance of both is impossible, since we are talking about a “time” (after all, are only 8 years difference) in which 192 MB of internal memory and gave plenty. We say impossible because the HTC Dream does not support Google Play Store, using the now abandoned Android Apps (remember her?). Over time, it is interesting to see how the Android changed his appearance, using a more stoned design in the most current versions.
another point is the screen. The Galaxy S7 has, according to laboratory tests, the best of the current screen, and strange compare it to the HTC Dream, where there was still so much concern about this aspect. Still speaking of design, the only physical button that survived this evolution was home, so in some models (like the Galaxy S7), since some manufacturers only use virtual keys. And of course, we also have the screen use, an essential Question to measure the quality of a device that was not so much attention at the time. In only eight years we left the HTC Dream and got to the Galaxy S7, where will we be here eight years?
