Nokia apps change their name to Lumia
In Microsoft and Nokia are moving. And it is that the purchase of the Finnish manufacturer by the Americans of Redmond begins to have its consequences. We have already seen the upcoming disappearance of the Nokia brand from its terminals by Microsoft , and now it's the turn of the applications Thus, all those photography tools that Nokiahas been publishing to make the most of the quality of its photographic lenses, they will have the name Lumia.
It already happened last September with some of these tools. Specifically with Cinemagraph, Storyteller, Panorama and Creative Studio Applications that until then were known under the name Nokiaand are now titled Lumia Cinemagraph, Lumia Storyteller, Lumia Panorama and Lumia Estudio Creativo A nominal change that does not affect its contents, which remain just as functional , providing the same tools to touch up images, create smart albums, panoramic photos, etc.
But what about the flagship photo app from Nokia? Recently, the old Nokia Camera, disappeared from Windows Phone Store without warningThus, it left several users out of place without being able to access its functionalities such as those that allow controlling the characteristics of the photographic lens as if it were a professional camera. Or those other tools and effects to eliminate unwanted objects from the frame, get the best pose of all members of a group photo, apply the effect selective blur and many more.
This application returns to Windows Phone Store, although gradually depending on the country, and also renamed Lumia Camera This avoids any kind of confusion, leaving behind the famous and charismatic brand Nokia A decision that can to be correct or not on the part of Microsoft, who has now decided to bet on Lumia as a name recognized for the terminals and tools that previously belonged to the Finnish brand.
Apart from these nominal changes, we must also talk about new features in the new Lumia Cinemagraph A curious tool capable of creating animated content GIF style really amazing. Thus, from now on it will allow you to share these photos or animations directly through social networks, and even through the cloud OneDrive, thus dispensing with the web memories.nokia.com Of course, for that we will have to wait since the news land on your version Beta or testing, hoping that this new and comfortable way of sharing animated photos will be available to all users from 2015
In short, business movements that come as a result of the purchase of Nokia by Microsoft The disappearance of a very recognizable and remembered brand that gives way to a new stage where Lumia will be the nickname of some content widely used by users who love photography. These rebranded applications are now available through the content store Windows Phone Store
