Turns out Mojang also gave out a couple limited edition Minecraft-themed phones as well as running a charity auction for one of them. It’s interesting how hard they were pushing this nifty device at the time and I wish it stuck around
I own one and wish it got a "sequel" at least. Sure there are android gaming handhelds now, but imagine a smartphone in this form factor running ps2 and gamecube. Would be absolute insanity. To the xperia's credit its still really solid for snes, gameboy/gba, ps1 and even DS. Only reason I stopped using mine was because a modded new 3ds does all that too. But even 10+ years after it launched this thing was still my daily carry
@tldmimikyu5779 hell no lmao it couldn't even run n64 or psp, running switch on an android this old is completely impossible. My current phone runs switch (galaxy z fold 4) and even this sometimes struggles with it. Absolutely no way the Xperia could do the same.
@@RandomizationShow have you seen the slide out controllers that you can 3d print for smart phones? I have a switch like controller attachment for my s23 ultra and the phone can run emulators so well. From the leaks of the sequel phone, it looked really nice! I am surprised no company has made one since.
This was probably one of the last truly creative phone designs until the present day (foldables, e-ink, other novel implementations). It's such a shame Apple basically SLAPPed the phone market into making boring rectangles.
It’s the impressive nature of doing the MOST with the limited tech you had. Like the ps1 couldn’t do z buffering instead they developed a thing called “affline texture wrapping” to mimick z axis perception which is infinitely more interesting
Where I live back when I was 16 in 2011 people that played Minecraft were made fun of because only kids played it most people played Halo and Call Of Duty
I was in elementary school probably around grade 3-4 and my friend had one, I just remember how cool it was to have a phone/psp in one, I had the psp at the time but just to think that it could also work as a cellular device just absolutely amazed me 😂🙌🏻 props to Justin for showing me the PS-Phone
0.8.1 alpha was also the very 1st version of pocket edition I've ever played, back in 2014, as it was the most advanced version released to phones other than the Sony Xperia phone at the time, I was 12
Man minecraft pocket edition was so fun. I remember getting into it like 2011 or 2012, every little update i got so excited for.

Dude you literally hit a core memory for me. My dad used to have this and then gave it to me when I was like in elementary/middle school. I have so many memories on it from playing video games to watching Inuyasha illegally on RUclips in 4 different videos. Thanks for the flashback memory and now I know the name of the phone.
I remember watching anime on RUclips like that. You just hoped all the parts were there. Nothing worse than not being able to find part 3 of the episode you've been watching in 7 minute chunks
@ripbraylen6913 Yep! And other apps too like Kik, Instagram, and Skype. Those were the main ways I messaged friends. Unsure about Facebook/Facebook messenger. I was in middle school (22 now) then so I barely remember what other apps.
@@fedorboendermaker1536 This thing beats any modern phone in portability. I love mine and use it to this day as a portable emulation device. You can barley tell its in your pocket. Wish Sony would make a more modern version for gamecube and ps2, let alone psplay

I miss this phone so much unfortunately mine had connectivity issues weeks after buying it. Did play Minecraft on it though, just wish sony would make an updated model for today, same slide mechanic for buttons and joysticks would be amazing for a modern gaming phone

Bro only if that update was supported on the xperia play 0.9.0 is broken on it which is a shame considering its the update with infinite worlds no longer being 256x256😭
I had this, and it was really cool! My favorite things to do at the time were build treehouses, and dig an underground maze/tunnel from one point to another on the surface. The coolest was one I started in a little hole at the west side world border (which was very close in the version I played) and came out like 50 blocks to the north east and 20 or so blocks up, right at a cool little stone platform that had naturally formed on the side of a large hill. It was lots of fun, and it did feel very smooth!
wow memory lane for me!! i love love loved that phone!!! mine was the blue color then i lost the back cover and bought a black replacement then my sisters phone broke and i gave her my experia play and she fell in love with the camera ❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
Amazing to see how far Minecraft has come since then. Still remember when I first played it on my iPod. I had a world seed with no water. Surviving was so hard. And the world size was so small. Still have no regrets buying Minecraft. It was 100% worth it. And for anyone that thinks it’s a dead game. Just go to the shops. All the toys clothes and food for Minecraft says it’s never going to die. Just like that Fortnite. They will never die. Just evolve.
specifically this phone has a secret button that allowing you to sneak for minecraft pocket edition on version 0.5.1-0.5.2, In which none other version has that feature in any phones or higher version of minecraft pocket edition until the feature was fully implemented.

A lot less than what I would have expected. Back in 2010 I thought future phones would be something like the Nokia Morph concept, while folding phones do exist they aren't that common. Most phones still look pretty much the same as 2010 phones but just a lot bigger and with much smaller bezels
I had an Xperia Play as a kid. I remember it running Android Gingerbread with 512mb of RAM mated to a Snapdragon processor (I forgot which version). I played Minecraft, an earlier version of Asphalt, that one Hyundai racing game and Avatar. I can tell you right now that it was the best phone I've ever had. It also turns heads back when I was in school. Also, the songs that come with it like "Static Space" were great to listen to. Only downside was the camera; you can't zoom in or out without using a third-party camera app.

I remember this! I was 12 years old and minecraft was my obsession when these came out. It was around this time my mom took me to get my first phone, and I had seen the demo video for MCPE a little while before and wanted one. Lo and behold our local Verizon store had a display just for these and i BEGGED my mother for one. Walked out a happy little dude that day. They were some cool ass phones
L Gamer for not knowing about that already. I remember how hype it was when it first dropped and I was lucky enough to play it on my Dad's Xperia Play back in the day...
Cant believe I had this thing as a kid. I made so many things in my 256x256 worlds. I wish they made more phones like this. This was also an N64 emulation beast, and also played Vice City and GTA 3 really well. We really need another one with modern hardware.
Have you play Minecraft Pocket Edition?
Yep, it was pretty cool I owned this phone when it came out
yes, my first version of minecraft was pocket edition 0.10.5 which i bought on March 31, 2015 on my samsung galaxy s3 LTE
Pocket Edition was how I first experienced the game, I saw my cousin building a brick house and I got Lite on my iPod. Crazy how long it’s been
Yea it is Good But I didn’t Buy it I Downloaded it😂
Bedrock is literally a continuation of Pocket Edition. But I did play it back then on my iPhone 4S.

Well external controllers got a lot better and allow you to carry a way smaller phone when not gaming

With the Joycon controller modules it might be possible to make a phone case that doubled as a gamepad.
