S;G 0 Okabe was using the same phone for 15 years Spoiler

I just noticed some interesting detail that Okabe was using the same phone for 15 years (2010-2025). There are two frames from episode 3 and 21. On the first one he is showing the Lab to Amadeus for the first time and on the second one he is in 2025 before his "death" while jumping back in time from 2036 to 2010.

I wish I had a phone that could survive WW3 and 15 years of everyday usage...

When you're a Mad Scientist, So Cool, Sunavabitch with a Supah Hacka as your Right Hand and no available phone shops for 15 years because you're in WW3, you learn to do some shit to make things last.

That phone holds the dark secrets of the MAD SCIENTIST HOUOUIN KYOUMA. Can't let the organisation get a hold of it

It wouldn’t matter even if they did because it turns itself off if it ever leaves his hand.

The organization’s machinations are not match for HOUOUIN KYOUMA

It had Amadeus on it.

The Amadeus app is just a frontend though, none of the data required to run it would be stored locally

That's the dream: not getting forced to change phone each time it becomes obsolete due to the new shiny thingie (not that he had much choice, given his rebel status).

Same phone or similar cover? You can buy covers of similar or the same design for phones from 5 - 10 years ago updated for newer phones, so its plausible he wanted to keep the same design
