The Lumia 1020 is the center of a new post on Reddit!
A passion project by an enthusiast has flung the Lumia 1020 tothe forefrontminor relevance.
An enthusiast used iPhone SE (Gen 3) parts and a Lumia 1020 case to create a “NokiApple LumiPhone 1020 SE."
Reddit user OceanDepth95028 made what they call the “NokiApple LumiPhone 1020 SE.”
The NokiApple LumiPhone 1020 SE is not actually a Windows Phone running iOS.
I’ll burst that bubble right away.
Placing the parts of an iPhone SE (Gen 3) inside the case of a Lumia 1020 required some custom parts and clever workarounds.
But OceanDepth95028 did more than wrap a new phone in an old case.
Despite being a hacked project that smashes two phones together, the resulting gear functions.
It even supports 5G and has a working fingerprint sensor on the back.
The Lumia 1020 was voted as the third best Windows Phone by our readers.
The A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone SE is still relatively new and is capable of running modern apps.
The only features that don’t seem to work are Apple Pay and wireless charging.
No idea, but it’s there,” said OceanDepth95028.
The NokiApple LumiPhone 1020 SE receives OTA updates, which makes sense considering it uses genuine iPhone parts.
What was the best Windows Phone?
The Lumia 1020 was one heck of a phone.
In contrast, the Lumia 950 XL felt like it was announced as an afterthought by Panos Panay.
Since Windows Phone is dead, it’s rare that we get to relive the glory days of Lumia.
Shout out to OceanDepth95028 for making the NokiApple LumiPhone 1020 SE.
