Nokia Lumia devices have got some more apps to play with. The company has launched two new apps, Camera Extras and Play To, which adds some more additional features to the existing Nokia Lumia devices from Nokia Collection.
Nokia Lumia device owners were put under distress when Microsoft announced that they won’t get the new Windows Phone 8, but would bring the Windows Phone 7.8 instead. But wait, looks like Nokia does not want to keep their device owners sad. The company has rolled out two new apps in the Nokia Collections store, which adds some more fun using the device. Here are the two new apps that came out today from Nokia.
Camera Extras
The new app, which came out into the Nokia Collections, brings a unique set of features that many Lumia device owners would enjoy with their brilliant camera. The Camera Extras brings some features like Group Shot, which detects faces clearly even in group photos and also Panorama shots, which as it sounds, helps shoot Panorama shots with your Lumia’s Camera.
This is not all, the app also has some quick shot feature and timer feature built right into the app. The app is actually a standalone app, but it closely integrates with the native Camera app of the device. The entire camera roll can be accessed from the app, bringing some quick access to your photos. You can download Camera Extras from Nokia Collections here.
Play To
Ever worried that there’s no iOS like AirPlay on your Nokia Devices? Well, here’s something that’s closer to AirPlay. Nokia’s new Play To app brings live streaming of your Music, Photos and Videos to any of the DLNA enabled devices. There are a lot of TVs using the DLNA technology, and this app, would allow you to literally project the photos, videos and also your Music playlists to the television sets.
This app is really exciting and we tried this at our office. We wish Nokia brings these kind of apps to its users, to bridge the gap between the Windows Phone 8’s unavailability and Windows Phone 7.8! You can download the Play To app from the Nokia Collections here.
