So much so, that despite struggling to make areturn both financially and culturally, the Finnish manufacturer hasstill managed to secure itself a position of undisputed dominion inone particular niche: cameraphones. Starting off their charge withthe Nokia 808 PureView, the company has truly cemented its positionwith the Lumia 1020 and its 41MP sensor.

Alongthose are the ability to shoot several snaps in a quick successionand then pick the best, the so called “Motion Focus” featurewhich allows you to add motion blur to moving objects and others.

Only devices running the Ambersoftware update will be eligible to take advantage of the new app,located on the Windows Phone Store. Speaking of devices, thefollowing Lumia phones are expected to receive the Amber update: 920, 820, 720, 620 and 520.
