In line with redefining itself, former phone-maker, Nokia has launched a new Android Home Launcher that is quite impressive. The Z Launcher as it is called aims to put what the user interacts with at the forefront of the screen – be it apps, frequently called contacts, websites, etc.
One launches an interaction simply by scribbling the spelling of the app name, contact or website on the screen and a list shows up. The most frequent used of these three will show up on the screen.
The Beta version of the app was recently published on the Play Store, however it is only available in the US and Europe regions. If you live in any of those areas, you can get it on the Play Store. The edition should work with many phones running Android 4.1 or later, although Nokia is still promising full support only for the Nexus 5 and recent Galaxy S phones.
Below is a video by Nokia about the Z Launcher
