It should be borne in mind that when purchasing a new Nokia Lumia - the new range of advanced mobile phones from the Nordic manufacturer based on Windows Phone - these hide some functions that will facilitate the use that the customer gives on a day-to-day basis. That is why below we will tell you up to 10 actions that will simplify the use of the smartphone in situations, such as: translate texts, read QR codes, take photos more quickly, etc…
First of all, all Nokia Lumia (Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800 or Nokia Lumia 900) can take pictures faster. As with other mobile platforms, the user will not need to unlock the terminal and subsequently access the capture application. Instead, you just have to pull out the Nokia Lumia device, point, focus and shoot; that is, you only have to press the dedicated button on the chassis to hunt down the desired moment.
On the other hand, with the Nokia Lumia in which the company has placed a camera on the front of the design, with which it will be possible to establish video calls with the contacts in the agenda. But what is the curiosity? Well, its lens is wide angle and allows you to include your companion in the videoconference and thus not have to pass the terminal from one hand to another.
The QR codes ' That so special bar codes that hide information- not be a problem for Nokia Lumia. Unlike other platforms, no third-party application should be downloaded. In this case, you just have to press the search button and, later, click on the eye icon again. The terminal will automatically read the QR code that has been focused and will direct the user to the web page that specifies the hidden link.
The same process will also serve to translate texts. But, in addition, you have to add some more action. Once the reading of the text begins - after pressing the eye icon - the option " translate text " must be selected. In a moment, the text will be translated into the Language of Cervantes.
Listening to music at no cost will also be possible on the Nokia Lumia. The Windows Phone range of the Finnish company also includes options as interesting as the one known as MixRadio, an application that offers the possibility of listening to radio stations in streaming or over the Internet. Be careful, in this case they are local radio stations.
In case you want to listen to stations from all over the world, the Marketplace application store also offers TuneIn, an Internet radio service with an extensive catalog of options. But beware, it is no longer necessary to enter the Marketplace to search for new functions. From the magnifying glass menu and opening the option " search by name " it will be very easy to know if the application is already installed or not on our unit. If not, the search engine itself will facilitate the download within the Microsoft store.
As for messaging, the Nokia Lumia offer options as interesting as being able to send messages to a specific group of contacts — all thanks to the previous creation of a group of contacts. In this way you can send emails, SMS, chat, etc… massively and not one by one. On the other hand, if writing short text messages while walking - for example - is too complicated, the Nokia Lumia also offer the possibility of writing them by voice, using a hands-free device.
Finally, there are hidden options such as battery saving in the "settings" section. With this profile selected, the Nokia Lumia on duty will automatically leave the most resource consuming applications in the background. And thus focus and show their full potential in the situations that are needed. A smart way to get to the end of the day without having to repeatedly plug the phone into the power grid.
In addition, the last function that we show you is very useful for those users who usually use Nokia Maps cartography to find points of interest or POIs. The example proposed by the manufacturer is to go one day to a restaurant that we have previously attended and that has been called with the mobile to reserve. In the list of calls made, the number is saved. However, it is always difficult to remember exactly which phone to search for when there is no profile created. With the Nokia Lumia this situation is over. Once a place is searched from Nokia Maps and the site is called from the phone indicated on the map, the full contact - including name and address - will be created directly in the call list.
