The Morning Call
Mobile phone manufacturers Nokia are bringing a new phase of selfies with their new Nokia 8 phones.
The Nokia 8, which will be released in September, has a new feature called the “Dual-Sight” mode which is the first in history.
This allows you to take photos simultaneously using the front and back cameras to create a split-screen visual.
Nokia terms it a Bothie to reflect the single photo and videos taken from both sides.
I wonder if Bothie can overtake the term selfie.
The phone’s 13-megapixel front and rear cameras are equipped with ZEISS optics.
They have a high-powered audio technology feature and can livestream dual videos to Facebook and Youtube by the touch of a button.
Let’s see how this will fare.
