Windows Phone was peak UI, shame it wasn't supported by developers, heck, it even looks so modern today, hasn't aged a bit

[a.t.]

Every Nothing product feels like a nostalgic nod to simplicity but with a futuristic twist. There’s a real beauty in the way they balance function with form!

[positronftw]

The design of those lumia phones still looks so good. And the cameras were definitely way ahead of its time. Sad they stopped making those.

[nurodriguez]

Admittedly, this video made me feel old but in a good way. Nice to see how far we've come and looking forward to what's going to be next.

It is so refreshing that a company openly talks about how as a company they are taking inspiration and talking about it openly. Great work!

[wtfamidoingwithmylife]

This is seriously a good step forward where devs and companies in general actually talk about their inspirations rather than slapping a 'new' feature into their devices and act like it was completely their idea..

[ptrwg]

Man, seeing all these old phones bringing back hella memories. Got me feeling so old now hahaha. Crazy to see how far the tech has improved compared to years ago.

Nokia N9 MeeGo and Nokia Lumia was the peak of smartphone design and UI

[N_Klaus]

It feel so good to see, how they maintain the transparency with customer, by unveiling each thing be it, stories, or some cool stuff, actually highlighting hard works of people, from marketing, developers, designers. A company truly wants to make tech fun again, rather than just earning profits by launching not so cool phones like other companies do. Really appreciate the hard work, and a Proud Nothing Fan.

I loved windows phone UI, I miss them badly

[chiragm]

The Windows Phone imho is still has the best "information at a glance" UI. Mladen put it perfectly. All love to the Nothing team <3

[zakkurliealing]

I truly admire how Nothing continuously thinks outside the box, even for the smallest details, to enhance our experience. It clearly reflects their dedication to both their products and their customers.

[savinduchethiya]

It is so nice to see that a company openly talks about how as a company they are taking inspiration and talking about it openly.

[jagadeeshy]

This feels so good, accepting that you got inspired from all those old Operating Systems instead of calling them outdated. Great work Nothing, love your ideas. By the way I use Nothing Phone 1. I love it !!

[mrrjb]

Its crazy how creative these designers are, from hardware to software, everyone is just so inspired and innovative.

[Nippontradamus]

My father had the Windows Phone, a Blackberry, the Nokia Soap phone, of which the Win and BB were passed on to me.
This has a heavy dose of nostalgia and respect to those who tried to reinvent the UI experience. They may not have been always great, but they were always memorable

[PerPanicz]

I once had a Lumia 920. I absolutely loved that phone! All my friends were stunned by its design. I remember facing a tough choice when it came to picking a color. The white and yellow back panels with black accents really stood out.

[bhargavparanjape]

I have some feedback for nothing os. Please:
1) Make your own dialer app with call recording
2) Make your own calculator, clock app
3) Make your own Files app
4) Add an option to double tap to lock from lockscreen and also double tap to wake screen (not single tap)
5) Add an option to set different ringtones for different SIMs
6) Make some basic conventional ringtones unlike which the os has right now(very strange and quirky)

[ΣτεφανοςΑδαμαντιδης]

I love how you geek out about technology in general and not overanalyzing only your products like other companies do
