Nokia Lumia 730

A group of at least
1,151 people in Bangladesh have taken a selfie together with their Nokia
Lumia 730 smartphone — making it one of the gigantic selfies fit
to become the world’s largest selfie.
The five megapixel
mid-range Windows Phone found a smart way to advertise its front-facing camera
and asked people to come for the self-portrait. Posted on the Facebook page of
Microsoft Lumia Bangladesh, the photo apparently required people to sign up to
keep a track of how many were there.
It has been liked by
more than 20,000 people on the page so far.
Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar
selfie is still on top with 3.37 million retweets and 2.01 favourites but the
Lumia photo could claim a record for the largest number of people in a selfie.
The record is yet to
be confirmed by Guinness World.
According to
reports, The
Lumia 730 will still carry the Nokia branding but
it’s been launched after the Microsoft
takeover of the handset business. Thanks to the focus on selfies, Nokia
and Microsoft are talking up the front camera of the Lumia 730, which has
a f/2.4 22mm wide-angle lens and a 5 megapixel sensor. It comes
with a Lumia Selfie app preloaded, that lets users tweak images
with beautification effects, filters, and teeth whitening.
