The Lumia 1020 is the center of a new post on Reddit! No, you have not come across a time gate or accidentally clicked on a link from our Windows Phone Central opinion. A passionate project of an enthusiast threw the Lumia 1020 at The first plan Minor relevance. The user of Reddit OceandePTH95028 did what they call “Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020. “The device is so cool that one of the mods of the sub-Sous-Souddit Hackintosh has left the post, although it is not a hackintosh device. 9TO5MAC reported for the first time on the phone.
The Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020 is not actually a Windows phone running iOS. I’m going to burst this bubble right away. Instead, these are essentially the parts of an iPhone SE (Gen 3) piled up in the case of a Lumia 1020. But OceandePTH95028 did more than wrap a new phone in an old case. The project involved operating the interns iPhone with a fingerprint reader placed at the back of the device, adding a personalized SIM card location and making a lightning port to a micro-USB port.
Despite being a hacked project that breaks two phones together, the resulting device works. It even supports 5G and has a fingerprint sensor at the rear.
The iPhone A15 chip of the iPhone is still relatively new and is able to execute modern applications. Although the phone is a punctual project, according to its creator, you can theoretically use the Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020 is as a daily device. The only features that do not seem to work are Apple Pay and the wireless load. I guess it is just that Apple Pay refuses to work on a device like the Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020 SE, because someone could make an unsecured device using similar methods.
Some buttons must have been moved to install the parts of the iPhone SE in the Lumia 1020 case, such as the fingerprint reader being on the back of the phone. The camera’s camera button can also act as a volume key switch or a trigger. “Why? No idea, but that’s it,” said OceandePTH95028.
The Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020 receives OTA updates, which is logical since it uses real iPhone parts.
What was the best Windows phone?
The Lumia 1020 was a hell of a phone. Some would say that it was the best Windows Phone of all time, although he did not get third place in our survey among readers. In any case, the Lumia 1020 presented an amazing design that embodied the Lumia brand and presented the best Windows phone. It may also have been the best known Windows Phone due to a Popular advertising campaign by Microsoft This was centered around the 41 MP camera on the phone. In fact, it was this same announcement that interested me to Windows Phone, which finally led me to write for Windows Central.
Although the Lumia 950 XL was a better device than the Lumia 1020 in certain technical aspects, I would say that the Lumia 1020 was a better way for the spirit of Windows Phone. The Lumia 1020 was released around the top of the popularity of Windows Phone, had a really remarkable feature in its camera and in fact had support from the Microsoft marketing service. On the other hand, the Lumia 950 XL felt like it was announced afterwards by Panos Panay.
Since Windows Phone is dead, it is rare that we were reviving the days of glory of Lumia. Shout at OceandePTH95028 for having made the Nokiapple Lumiphone 1020 SE.
