Biggest ever Selfie? Nokia Lumia 730 captures 1,151 people

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. With inputs from IANS
