The Nokia Lumia 1020 was one of the most legendary Nokia Lumia phones. It was one of the first cell phones that used a technology that is used by almost every smartphone today:.

This is Pixel Binning:With his 41-megapixel sensor, four pixels were added together to enable photos with image quality that were not considered possible by cell phones at that time. There is also a loss -free digital zoom that was realized by the high resolution.

A modder wanted to give the cell phone a second life - and installed the hardware of an iPhone SE 3.

That is why this is important:Shell swaps, i.e. replacing housings for electronic devices, is not uncommon in the modding community. But something is much less common with a cell phone. There is much rarer on such different devices.

Can it be an invented story or a bot?Yes, that cannot be ruled out. However, the user shows activity in many other subreddits and has been active on Reddit since December 2019. It is therefore obvious that this user is also a real person and its history is not invented.

Im Detail:There are counter»OceanDepth95028«Was not satisfied with the design of the HMD skyline-a smartphone inspired by the Lumia smartphones at that time. So he grabbed an iPhone SE 3 and got to work.

  • This mod is approximately comparable to a Mac that was installed in the housing by an Office PC-that's why the article appeared in the Subreddit »Hackintosh«.
  • Only the housing and the display glass was taken over by the Nokia Lumia 1020. The rest of the hardware is that of iPhone SE 3.

So he went

"Oceathepth95028" does not say in detail how he did this Shell swap, but a few steps were explained in the Reddit contribution.

  1. In order to use the old display glass, it had to be removed from the iPhone SE 3. The modder then laminated the iPhone display on the Nokia Lumia 1020.
  2. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take over the 41-megapixel main camera from the Nokia Lumia 1020, so the 12-megapixel camera of the iPhone SE 3 was taken over.
  3. The fingerprint sensor from iPhone SE 3 was shipped to the back under the camera module. Many Android smartphones used to have the fingerprint sensor at this point. "Force Touch", the haptic feedback from the home button, is still functional.
  4. The headphone connection from the Nokia Lumia 1020 had to be closed to protect the electronics. At the same time, according to the modder, it is almost impossible to equip the iPhone SE 3 with such a connection afterwards.
  5. The cell phone will continue to be charged by Lightning.
  6. IOS 18.3.1. Except for Apple Pay and wireless charging, all features of the iPhone SE 3 work.

The modder calls his creation "Lumiphone 1020 SE" - a combination of the merged cell phones. In a comment, Oceagh9508 revealed that he even plans a YouTube video that will show the new modified smartphone in action.
