One of the really good design features of Nokia's Lumia range of Windows phones is a dedicated camera button.
But it looks like it could be on the way out.
It's already been dropped from low-spec entry-level Lumias and now it looks like it's missing from the planned Lumia 730, successor to the 720.
WPCentral says it's been informed of the specs of the new device:
Nothing too surprising there except the front-facing camera is 5MP, giving the phone the nickname of "the selfie Lumia".
- 4.7-inch (likely FWVGA at 854 x 480, but possibly 720P)
- 1 GB of RAM
- Quad-core processor (unknown speed)
- 8GB internal storage
- Micro SD expansion up to 128 GB
- 6.1 MP rear camera
- 5MP front-facing camera
- Dual SIM
- No dedicated camera button
- Weight, unknown (described as "super light")
But WPCentral editor has now tweeted that the 730 will not have a dedicated camera button.
Please, Microsoft, don't do this.
