Nokia Z Launcher is a new user interface (UI) for Android smartphones. Not long ago. it was released with a beta version which could be used pretty easily. Though, there are some notes you should remember to experience this UI more effectively.

Firstly, Nokia Z Launcher is a bit different because it does not have a customizable homescreen on which you place icons of the apps. Instead, Z Launcher chooses the ones you often open or need most of the time. In other words, it adapts to the context.

Secondly, Nokia Z Launcher has a quickly searching function that you can use just one finger to launch the necessary program or content like scribbling the names of the apps you want to activate at once, contacts, or websites. And this feature is even getting more powerful in its new update.

Moreover, scribbling supports synonyms, which means that you can launch music apps by simply writing the word “music”. We guess that Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube should also appear in the list of synonyms. We found out that “browser” will give you Chrome and “email” will give you Gmail. However, there are not many synonyms existing on the Nokia Z Launcher for now. Some people said that they wrote “twitter” and it didn’t suggest Fenix on the phone to them. Hopefully Nokia will develop this interesting function more for their smartphones in 2016.

Some tip for you is that Scribbles now also include WhatsApp contacts. You can totally launch into your friends’ chats directly. If you use it more often, the contacts will be likely to appear faster and can be top of the suggestion list.

In conclusion, Nokia Z Launcher has not been very common now, yet when Nokia returns to the mobile industry next year, it could be one of the best UIs. Let’s wait and see a stronger Nokia Z Launcher in the next months!
