Microsoft announces Lumia Denim update, available Q4

Tags: Nokia , Windows Phone , IFA 2014 , Firmware update



Microsoft has announced the next major Nokia Lumia update called Denim. It follows Nokia Cyan and will build upon better Cortana and better camera integration and faster shooting process.




Nokia Denim will allows you to launch Cortana wherever you are on the interface with one simple command - "Hey, Cortana". It's pretty much similar to OK, Google, but it's nice this enhancement makes its way on Windows Phone as well.







The next major update is the Nokia Camera app. It now shoots much faster (finally!). It can also be activated by a tap and hold on the camera shutter, while your phone is asleep, and it will fire up and take a picture in less than 1.5s.




If you tap and hold again once your camera is active, it will start recording a 4K video at 20fps. Once you are done, you can easily extract high-quality frames from this video.




The new camera app is also capable of taking live images and Rich Capture. The first one captures a few moments before the actual scene and you can see the image in the gallery with a 1sec animation leading to the picture.




Finally, the Rich Capture allows you to turn on and off the flash, including the flash strength after you've taken the picture. We guess the phone starts taking pictures before the flash goes on, during the firing process and finally when the flash is on. Thus you can choose the flash level in the post-processing.




The Lumia Denim update will first launch on Lumia 930, Lumia 1520 and Lumia Icon by the end of Q4 this year. It will be expanded over the entire compatible Lumia range shortly. The new Camera app will be available only on Lumia 930, 1520 and Icon. The newly announced Lumia 830 is already running on Denim including the updated Camera.
