Nokia Lumia 730 "to have 1GB RAM, 4.7" screen but no camera button"



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:
  • 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")
Nothing too surprising there except the front-facing camera is 5MP, giving the phone the nickname of "the selfie Lumia".

But WPCentral editor has now tweeted that the 730 will not have a dedicated camera button.



Please, Microsoft, don't do this.
