Nokia has announced Pure UI to offer a consistent and clean experience on devices. It carries the brand’s minimalistic approach which it applied to the new branding around the time of MWC last month. Also Read: HMD 105, HMD 110 launched in India with built-in UPI: Check price, specs
There will be Nokia’s Pure typeface throughout the UI. New icons, smoother animations, and different screens (with a minimal look) for most apps are some of the things you’d see on Pure UI.
Since the UI is touted to be clean, it adopts slim borders design for quick actions like the clock, brightness control, and others. In the marketing images, Pure UI is themed Blue, however, there appears to be a toggle to change the theme color.
This theming reminds us of Android’s material UI theming, which adds a single color theme throughout the UI. However, do not confuse Pure UI with an OS, it’s just a user interface that will run on an operating system.
Apart from smartphones, it will also run on other products like smartwatches, laptops, and more. As said above, this may help in strengthening the ecosystem.
While Nokia has released several images showing off the new UI, there’s something that’s skeptical and also hilarious. Nokia is using iPhone and Apple watch to demonstrate the UI. Furthermore, it’s showing off Pure UI on MacBook.
On Nokia’s official page, there’s a mention of ‘B2B and Enterprise digital products,’ which raises the question – is the UI restricted to business? Or it will also run on consumer-centric products as it’s perceived to be.
We’ve reached out to Nokia to get a clear answer. We’ll update the article once we get a response.
