why do we miss these?
Good cameras with no garbage software with AI aids that make everything look blurry.And that's it
>>109083181could these be rooted?
>>109083181my mum's lasted like 10 years, changed it only after they dropped whatsapp. It was still good.
>>109083181they were decent devices, build quality was real good, screen looked nice, camera didnt use ai bullshit to make the picture looks like a blurry mess, os was pretty responsive and didnt feel souless even though the design was minimalistic
>>109083572I think the HTC one m8 was better. it was the best phone I ever had
It was the only mobile UI that wasn't just a copy of Palm OS that was a copy of Apple Newton that was a copy of every single early icon based OS crammed into a PDA, which was a copy of Xerox Alto.I mean technically it still had icons, but they just looked like tiles instead, which was still a pretty large distinctive step.
>>109083181I liked my lumia but every single app made for it sucked or didn't exist...
>>109083181>developers developers developersIn general, the OS was a better than iOS and especially Android at the time. It was more like a successor to BlackberryOS in that was more cohesively designed instead of just a jumble of random apps. The problem was that the app ecosystem wast nearly fleshed out and Microsoft had zero interest/success in getting people to develop apps for it. The hardware was good. Some of the handsets were nearly identical hardware to the Android version.
>>109083181Still the best homescreen experience of any device I've owned.
>>109083205I have a lumia 1020, sadly modern camera processing software beats the big sensor in image quality.
>>109083181Japan still makes phone with this blocky ui, I think it's just launcher.
>>109084889It's kinda decent phone, but I don't think they have english menu or non japanese 5g bands.
>>109083181I had one and was genuinely sad they stopped making them, but with only 2 percent market share and no app support, I guess it was only a matter of time.I had to switch when it stopped supporting my public transport/bus app iirc.
