Of all the products you have Samsung right now in its catalog of smartphones, the folding ones are the ones that attract the most attention. Recently the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy ZFold 4. The latter has served as inspiration for a youtuber that has turned your terminal into a transformer that simulates what the future of Windows Phone if it had survived. A really interesting experiment that leads us to think that Microsoft should try it again.
Turning the Z Fold 4 into the ultimate Windows Phone
Windows Phone went from being the system that everyone wanted to beat to sinking into the deepest misery. Its final stage was really painful for anyone who considers himself a lover of technology. Both the operating system and Nokia were disappearing little by little and hand in hand. However, after watching this video, your opinion about Windows Phone may change. Did Microsoft make a mistake or did they just file a system ahead of its time?
The youtuber Mark Spurrel has got a Samsung Galaxy ZFold 4 and has turned it into a kind of concept of what could be a phone today with Windows Phone. His idea of using the Samsung folding is none other than take advantage of two different desktops– The Windows Phone grid interface and desktop we’ve known all along, which would be used for productivity purposes. This second one could be used with a keyboard and a mouse without any problem.
Spurrel has not left any detail in the inkwell. When your Galaxy Z Fold is in folding mode, the terminal shows the last interface we knew from Windows Phone. Only, in this case, the content creator has updated icons and interface to make it look modern and current. Right from the start, we can say that Microsoft was on the right track. The interface has not only not gone out of style, but it looks much better than the one we still have on Android. When opening the folder, the system goes on to show what we would have on any computer with windows 10 The typical start menu with the desktop, the icons and the taskbar.
Do not flatter yourself. it’s just one skin
Obviously, Mark Spurrel’s Z Fold 4 isn’t running Windows, but rather Android with a couple of custom launchers that simulate the operation of Windows Phone and Windows 10. To simulate Windows Phone, the youtuber have used the app Square Home with a fully customized icon pack. This app has been configured to be the default launcher when the terminal is folded. On the other hand, the application has been used Win X Launcher as an interface when the Samsung phone is in tablet mode.
The result of the experiment speaks for itself. If beyond aesthetics, this phone had a Windows that behaved in this way, we would be talking about a device to take into account for productivity. Did Windows Phone die too soon? Will we see him back one day? I hope so.
