I remember getting a Nokia Lumia WP back when they first came out. The OS was really good with its customisations and how quick you could get to everything. Plus, whenever you were installing apps it would literally tell you how far it was along unlike my current android. It was also very fun to play emulators on those phones.
Windows phones were one of my favorites. Best part about them when you drop them the scratch or knick the same color so it almost isn’t even bothersome.
I have a Nokia Lumia 520 that I paid $50 brand new back in 2013. The damn thing still turns on, and it’s surprisingly quick even 10 years later! It’s a shame that Windows Phone failed. I absolutely loved it besides the app support.
My first phone was nokia lumia 520. I customized it according to my liking. You can chage the tile size, colour and even the wallpaper on tiles. It was so much fun. I used it for a year or something. I had a habit of walking in my room while listening to music with wired headphones and holding my phone in my hand. I was lost in the music then my phone hit the dressing table and it broke. Its screen was completely broken and side buttons came off. Getting it fixed was too expensive so i got a new samsung phone. After that i have never bought a phone other than samsung.

I have the phone but not the accessory. Been meaning to buy one but it's hard to find nowadays. Admittedly I don't use the thing as much as I'd like. It's pretty much only useful for photos and it can be pretty sluggish.
Loved that wild phone from 10 years ago. 😍
the UI aged incredibly well. i remember when this phone came out it felt like the future. i was a kid and id never be able to own a phone that cool
You should try lumia 950/ xl . It's got the best camera in a windows phone( software+ hardware) ... And the pro mode is very intuitive. And yes I love it's interface
I had one and I am really proud I had it
I was the Cool-Boi because of it 😂
My dad had this phone, I remember I always secretly use it to take picture of my drawings because how good the camera was. Now idk where he put that phone since he switch to android
I remember getting a Nokia Lumia WP back when they first came out. The OS was really good with its customisations and how quick you could get to everything.
Plus, whenever you were installing apps it would literally tell you how far it was along unlike my current android.
It was also very fun to play emulators on those phones.
Nokia did what Apple did with the software... I had the Lumia 505, an absolute piece of shit and worked so fucking good... I miss those days 😞😞😞
Hi, I'm fourth
I used to have one back in my school days and I personally liked that windows os a lot. ❤️❤️
I absolutely loved Windows phone, I really wish they had kept supporting it..
A major drawback of windows phone was that developers didn't let app to run on this phone.. instead they promoted play Store on Google.
I used to play games in this phone I really miss those days
I love the Lumia design... they should make one again
Windows phones were one of my favorites. Best part about them when you drop them the scratch or knick the same color so it almost isn’t even bothersome.
I remember checking this phone out at a shop back then and the camera is the only thing I remember about it. It was insanely good.
I have a Nokia Lumia 520 that I paid $50 brand new back in 2013. The damn thing still turns on, and it’s surprisingly quick even 10 years later! It’s a shame that Windows Phone failed. I absolutely loved it besides the app support.
My first phone was nokia lumia 520. I customized it according to my liking. You can chage the tile size, colour and even the wallpaper on tiles. It was so much fun. I used it for a year or something. I had a habit of walking in my room while listening to music with wired headphones and holding my phone in my hand. I was lost in the music then my phone hit the dressing table and it broke. Its screen was completely broken and side buttons came off. Getting it fixed was too expensive so i got a new samsung phone. After that i have never bought a phone other than samsung.
I love the tiles menu. I held a Nokia Lumia for years after it got deprecated. Only after almost all application dropped support, I gave up
Bro got the Trevor phone
I had 2 Lumias, I loved them more than any other phone. Also had a N95 which was my second favourite ever
i will always love the physical design of this phone.
