The selfie craze is going strong, so how could Nokia - which has long cemented its position as the maker of the best cameraphones - be left behind? The Microsoft-owned company has unveiled Lumia 730, a smartphone with a 5MP wide-angle front camera. So how is it using the selfie camera? Does the smartphone build on the strengths of its predecessor, Lumia 720, or not? Here are our first impressions of Nokia Lumia 730...
Camera
Let's head straight to the selfie part... You get a5MP front camera with a wide-angle lens so you can squeeze in more people in the same frame. It is pretty useful if you want to capture a lot of area in the self portrait. The Selfie app, an app that will make its way to all Lumia phones gradually, comes with a lot of effects that make you look prettier in selfies by touching-up your eyes etc. It also has a number of filters, so that you get additional effects (for Instagramphotos).
The selfie craze doesn't end here though. Selfie app also lets you capture selfies using the rear camera too. So the 6.7MP rear camera can also take self portraits, and it's actually pretty easy to use.

n terms of quality, the 5MP front camera does a great job of taking selfies. You get pretty nicecolours, the level of details captured by the camera is great (with sharp edges), decent contrast levels. In the demo area, we had to struggle a little with getting the lighting right, but most of the times we got decent photos.
Specs
It has a 4.7-inch 720pscreen with Nokia's ClearBlack display technology, so you get pretty rich colours. The smartphone has Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GBRAM, 8MP internal storage and microSD card support up to 128GB.
Looks
The smartphone carries on the design that Nokia introduced with Lumia 920 in late 2012. It is not as heavy, but has the same rounded edges, sharp corners and glossy back. The design looks okay, but there is nothing remarkable about it since this look has been around for nearly a year.
