Oh man, how I miss Windows phone UI each time I see video like this. I gotten used to Android by now but Windows was ahead of everyone in terms of usability and fluidity. And the live tiles was a killer feature, nothing comes close to the look and feel of live tiles even by now (Android widgets all have their own look so a screen full of them looks like mess and iOS has them hidden)

@DjangoGroen Год назад

I hated live tiles. I’ll love the androids interface more. iOS second place and windows phone as 3rd place for me

@nomore-constipation Год назад

Windows CE was is a bit older, I'd love to see a variation of that UI too. Let the hilarity ensue! My daughter has an Alexia exclusive colour floor lamp at her college dorm. Kinda curious if I give her my spare S7 for turning on the lamp instead of the little speaker with it skinned in Windows. Freak out the RA and mates

@FPSNecromancerBob Год назад

@@MarkSpurrell I still have them still picking up the lumia 800 it still feels unlile other phones. I think it was milled from a single piece of whatever plastic but its ergonomic excellence. The 1020 was ridiculous for photos especially with the camera grip. Unfortunately that just died one day, battery replacement didn't do anything. 😕

@moiz04 Год назад

Bro i still want that 1020. It had the best camera at that time. Dont know if someone compared it to recent flagships. Aside from that. It was not going to be a good daily driver. Saw many reviews which said it was slow even after 1 year

@FPSNecromancerBob Год назад

@@moiz04 best way I saw it described was it was a good highly portable camera with an ok phone attached. It was slow to take pics as it had to process then for a good 4 seconds or so after so no rapid shooting. All things considered amazing tech for the time in a small package. The xenon flash was also insane

My first smart phone was a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, it was before the days of metro UI, it ran windows mobile 6.1 "professional". I remember customizing it too much that my friends were both impressed and jealous! 😅 It had everything; a metallic build, touchscreen, stylus, physical keyboard, track pad, navigation deck, dedicated camera shutter key, a 3.5 mm headphone jack...etc. I miss those days when mobile phones were unique.

@pop-upcardmaker Год назад

That was one of my favourite Windows Mobile devices, the thing was a pure beauty. My Fold devices in folded mode remind me of the Xperia, probably because of the narrow screen.

@Remc01975 Год назад

I used a Lumia 800 - 925 - 950 back in the day (between 2012 and 2018) so I thought I'd give this a try. I installed Square Home on my Xperia 5 mk II and now I've already spent 4 hours deciding which apps are worthy of a tile on my homescreen. Curse you @Mark Spurrell for pointing me in this direction!!! And thanks at the same time, it's fun and I will use this as my default launcher for a while to see how it holds up in daily use.

The point of a windows phone is to run x64 apps, imo. Really useful as a sysadmin. I think you could get Windows ARM to run but would require tons of customization

@alkidshuli Год назад

I have the exact same Lumia 640, but the discontinuation of Windows Phone 8.1 in 2019 made this phone barely usable for online stuff, but still it's super smooth, Live Tiles are the best. Wish I could experience it at their peak

@andypgill Год назад

Great video thank you. Using Bixby routines do you not get an issue with the phone returning to the default launcher when you've used and app. For example I've set mine to Nova when closed and Microsoft when open the app default is also Microsoft. When I close the phone I get Nova launcher however when I return to the Homescreen after using some apps I get the Microsoft Launcher

@txma. Год назад

Maybe folding phones are what the Windows mobile device market needed, it seems this device only works so well BECAUSE it’s a folding phone. Imagine an official Microsoft folding phone with the tile front screen and a windows desktop inner screen (or if you’re full mobile an option to keep the tile design on the inner display as well) and then having a mode similar to Samsung Dex but with an actual full on desktop ARM version of Windows 11

@CPX723 Год назад

I've searched for a launcher that supports both screens like OneUI does. OneUI icon size is too big for my taste, even with GoodLock. Nova makes it possible but does not support 2 screens separately. So I'm using OneUI as it is the only launcher for 2 screens. I used GoodLock on my S22 Ultra and I could make icons smaller than on Fold 3. For some reason, Fold version of GoodLock doesn't allow me to make them smaller.

@Connor-ee8em Год назад

good info thank you!

@nomore-constipation Год назад

Definitely worth it on the Fold but my Flip3 looks strange because of how small the outside screen is and even the inside screen doesn't feel right. I guess it'll take me awhile to get used to it. I definitely will be curious what my buddies say when I use my phone in front of them. Lol

@niteowl360android Год назад

Thanks for a great video. This reminds me of running my HTC HD2 Windows Phone on Android. That was a lot of fun. Current device is a LG Wing which is also truly amazing. Your video is leaning me toward the Fold 4, something I thought previously would never be on my agenda. But the LG Wing dual swivel screen has me hooked on multiple screens. Oh yes, 3 Golden Retrievers here and one day we had 7 pups in the back of the Mini all pearing out of the box and into the rear window. Fun days indeed! Thanks again PS I do quite a bit of custom screens using Nova Launcher and most importantly KLWP. Have you tried KLWP on this device by any chance. Thanks

@MarkSpurrell Год назад

Haven't tried KLWP on the fold 4 but I have used it a lot on other devices. Thanks for the kind words!

I have been using Square home for the longest time on my Android. Used it first on my LG G8. What I like is being able to make a minimal screen all black and just have your icons and you can also nest icons. Such as for my Photo Editing apps ...just one is shown but if I click it it shows the other few I used the most and I can choose. And I moved over to the Moto Razr 2020 but have not updated it to the Square Home and the Razr is my daily driver but I still use the LG G8 as a secondary and also feel it takes better pics too. If I were in the market for a small folding table then yes this would be what I would want to do, then again I do have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ which I do use the Square Home....perhaps Win X- launcher will work on that? hmmm. Great review and video.
