Video: Nokia Lumia 928 ad from Microsoft – Erase the photobombers

Promoting uniquely Nokia things again, Nokia’s buddy, it’s Microsoft :) .

This time it’s the Nokia Lumia 928 using Nokia Smart Shoot. I can’t wait for them to tout Nokia Smart Camera :) (It’s just so much more intuitive/convenient to use)

LeakyLeak: More EOS Pics, This Time From the Front

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 03:18 PM PDT

BMB2nIDCMAAkAzWVizileaks is really making a name for him/her-self; posting a third picture of the EOS, this time against the Blackberry (torch I think?) which looks absolutely dwarfed besides it. In this picture it does appear as if the screen is slightly curved (bottom corners?) but perhaps I’m imagining things?

Come on Nokia! Launch this baby already!

 

Lumia 925 Possibly Heading to At&t as Well?

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 02:57 PM PDT

Lumia 925Although upon launch the Lumia 925 was promised to land on T-mobile’s network in the US, some evidence has appeared proving that it might be slotted for an At&t release as well. Of course At&t are no strangers to Nokia, being the first to embrace their return to the United States, with the 900, then striking exclusivity for the 920 & 820 (and if rumors are to be believed the EOS soon).

The folks over at NokiaPowerUser spotted an At&t variant of the device (RM-893) on casual gamer. As well as support for At&t’s LTE bands on the Nokia developer site which makes this more believable, but where would the 925 fit in against the 920, 820 and EOS?

Design Tweaks: Nokia EOS Circle Hump idea/concept

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 02:36 PM PDT

The lump/hump/bump in these early set of photos is a bit like marmite. Some love it, some don’t. I remember really disliking the 808 during launch but it grew on me. Is that the hump in general, preferring flush phones or could the hump be modified?

Becoming synonymous for MyDreamNokia, Edgar Mkrtchyan has some ideas to rework the EOS.

What do you think?

After seeing the first few leaks of the next Nokia EOS, I was very disappointed by the design, including the hump-shaped round. Personally I prefer the hump of Nokia 808 or N8.
Even though the engineers at Nokia have planned to round shaped, they could rework it a little more for aesthetics.
The reports that I made is not Nokia Dream, it’s just what they should do (always in my opinion, maybe there will be others who will not like it)
Finally I hope that these leaks are just prototypes, and that the real EOS look something more beautiful …

Couple of imaging apps just got another update, ProShot and HDR photocamera.

The former I think gets some bug fixes whilst the latter gets batch processing workflow, bugs/stability improvements and manager for application external storage.MNBwp_ss_20130605_0003 MNBwp_ss_20130605_0004

When it rains, it pours. Have some more EOS photos. GSM Arena has some more pics from various angles.

Looks quite slim in the second pic (just above).

DSC00828Taking a break from all those tasty EOS leaks, here’s a pretty sweet for you folks; the Lumia 920 is showing up on Amazon for $388 UNLOCKED! Which is a pretty sweet deal all things considered.Grab them while they last (in black only) over on Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon too so no worries):

And in case you want some matching accessories, the MD-100W PowerUp speakers are still priced at $150 on Amazon (even though it says out of stock some people are reporting that their orders have been shipped and received-Most of them were the black color)- but be prepared for some waiting time possibly.

Tutorial: Time Lapse with the Nokia 808 PureView

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:27 PM PDT

timelapse

Timelapse, a favourite activity of mine since the old Symbian keyboard phone days, and they’re still as fascinating as ever.

You might have seen some from the Nokia 808 PureView. Here’s a really good tutorial and set of samples on how to make your own timelapse by Olivier Noirhomme.

Using the 38MP mode on the 808 means you have a lot of detail to play with. This helps when adding movement such as zooming or possibly even panning.

You basically want to capture interesting movement/changes that are difficult to see in real time. E.g. movement of the sun, changing from night to day, the filling of snow, opening of a flower bud etc. Experiment with timing intervals.

Pay attention to white balance and exposure as you’ll notice this a lot if they’re not consistent.

Alternatively there are apps that do this.

Cheers Alvester for the tip!

LeakyLeak: Automatic Shutter cover for Nokia EOS

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 01:10 PM PDT

automatic shutter

It’s All About the EOS tonight. ViziLeaks has another shot of the Nokia EOS PureView Camera, this time with the lens covered up by the automatic lens cover. No dust or smudging happening here when it’s in your pocket that ruins images even from the likes of the N8/808.

I don’t mind having a camera bump for ME as long as it justifies itself in quality and consistency. A lot of our readers a while back voted pretty much in favour of having a bump in the discussion session of the N8 successor (prior to 808 announcement).  For the mass market, it’ll take some convincing. Slim is the thing now, but then again, so were tiny miniscule phones and now look how wide they are.

Hopefully the Nokia EOS provides a sufficient advantage that people won’t mind having that humpy bit. It seems slim enough for holding in portrait. Ladies and phablets already have bags to carry larger tech devices in.

Cheers ABC for the heads up!

Leakyleak: Closeup of EOS’s Camera Lens

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 09:38 AM PDT

BMAipktCIAA6yFsA new contender into the leaking arena “Vizileaks” has just posted an image of a closeup of the Nokia EOS’s camera lens/module. It certainly looks nicer than the previous images we saw, and matches up to them nicely (perhaps a bit too much? Possible Fake?). Either way the image carries the same large round camer sensor with a Xenon flash and  Led/Focus light; plus a mighty large lens.

What do you guys think? It’s not unheard of early prototypes to carry XX Mp instead of the true number (the same happened with the 808).
