While this is a wild thing to find out, this photo doesn’t look at all this decade, and also it looks like she’s playing it, not using the camera.

this photo doesn’t look at all this decade

How so? The only thing that hints at dating this photo at all to me is the phone that the kid has in the foreground. It does not look like there is a physical home button, which puts it in the "kids using a DSi camera at concerts" era.

also it looks like she’s playing it, not using the camera.

She is obviously not actively snapping a photo here, but she very well may be reviewing a photo that she just took or something. Sure, it is possible that she may be playing a game, but I think it is more likely that she is using the camera.

That phone looks remarkably like Samsung Galaxy S3 (a phone from 2012), which definitely had a physical home button. It was also an actual button, unlike the stupid capacitive touch buttons to either side of it.

In addition to what others said:

  • her holding the device (phone?) horizontally is a giveaway that this is from another time. Which (young) person does that anymore?
  • the way she holds it gives strong 3DS vibes.
  • Also the geometry of the device does not seem to be a flat rectangle like most smartphones but something that folds (like a 3DS?)

Cunningham’s Law. Thanks! I knew it was probably incorrect I was just too lazy to look up the right answer.

Is the girl in the middle playing Pokémon on her Nintendo DS?

Are you sure because you know her, or because you used some kind of CSI-level enhance algorithm?

This is as zoomed in as Thunder will let me go, next to some random photo of a DSi. The ports and camera lense sure line up.

I don't understand why devs put shallow zoom limits on their apps. I mainly use boost and the zoom is heavily restricted. Really wish sync or eternity was still getting updates

Interestingly, I can zoom in MUCH FURTHER when not in split-screen mode like that

Too bad it's probably just a Samsung folding phone

The game cartridge port on the side of the Galaxy Fold was criminally underrated

Clearly there is some debate about this by people who have more pixels than I do. Also she looks like she’s 12 years old and that’s her 45 y/o mom dancing next to her.

On her right (our left) 45? What are you, 12? I would have guessed she was under 21... but I'm old. So all 20 somethings look the same age to me.

Playing Nintendogs is a lot cooler than a guy having one of the lights on him.
