Lumia Selfie 3.6.3.2

Take selfies and enhance them with a cool tool especially designed for your Lumia handset
The range of built-in apps that aim to open more possibilities to users who get mobile devices equipped with such tools is quite broad and as Lumia owners are well aware, the focus is mostly on utilities that make use of the device's camera.

One of the applications that surely catches the eye of any user of such a handset is Lumia Selfie, as it is meant to take care of one of the most common practices these days: taking self portraits and sharing them with everyone.

Pleasant front-end, bent on functionality

The looks of this app are pretty nice, even if there is nothing outstanding or eye-candy about the interface. The practical design of the GUI makes it possible for anyone to easily get to the main functions and use them with no difficulties.

Inside the workspace there is plenty of room for previewing the modifications and the response from the app is immediate, no matter which filter is applied.

There is a slight delay in loading the projected output when working with the visual enhancements, but this is to be expected because of the complexity of the task that has to be carried out when modifying the facial expression of a person.

Choose the camera and snap a shot or load a saved pic to edit

The great thing about Lumia Selfie is that it is capable of using both cameras if your phone has a front-facing and a rear one. It supports face detection and takes the picture on its own the moment the subject is framed optimally.

Another neat feature is the ability to process images that are already in your photos library, so the app can serve as an almost regular picture editor as well.

Add face enhancements and cool effects on the go

With the help of this application you will be able to modify the selected photos in great detail. More precisely, you can alter the facial traits with precision tools that enable you to work on the eyes, skin tone or smile.These functions are easy to use, as for each of them you have a dedicated slider at your fingertips, so the adjustments are a breeze to make.

Insofar as the filters are concerned, you have at your disposal well over a dozen presets you can try and give a completely new look to the photo.A neat trick is the comparison function that is activated by tapping and holding on the image preview to have the original pic shown, so you can see the difference in colors and hues.

Once you've finished editing the photo,Lumia Selfie can help you show it to your friends or to the world, as it supports SMS, email and social network sharing.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The interface seems pretty friendly and practical, even if it doesn't come with any customizations or enhancements that would make it more appealing.

Function9
 

The array of enhancements is very good and the output quality top-notch, but it could use some more features like adding text overlays and support for more image formats.

Security8
 

The application needs to look into the owner and phone identity for some reason, unlike the other system areas is accesses.

Battery5
 

It is not the ultimate resource hog, but it still takes a significant bite out of the battery, especially when used for longer periods of time.

Price10
 

No complaints in this respect as Lumia Selfie offers everything completely free of costs and nuisances.

Compatibility8
 

To have this application up and running onto the Windows Phone handset version 8 or above of the operating system must be installed. The Treasure Tag accessory is optional and it can be used as a remote shutter.
