Microsoft Lumia 730 ‘Selfie Phone’ and Lumia 830 Windows 8.1 Phones Expected Unveiling At IFA Event

Like them or not, selfies seem to be a trend with staying power, and phone makers like Sony are beefing up smartphone front cameras in response. Microsoft is reportedly jumping on the bandwagon, too, with the Lumia 730 expected to have a 5MP front cam that will render your skin imperfections in way higher detail than old school front cams.

The IFA invite seems to be promoting Microsoft's upcoming Nokia Lumia smartphones.

With consumer tech show IFA around the corner, it makes sense that Microsoft would use the opportunity to reveal the Lumia 730 (and maybe the Lumia 830, which may sport a high-end camera as well), and it seems like that’s the plan: Microsoft’s IFA invites appear to have a smartphone camera lens. If you’re dying to take selfies like the pros, you won’t need to wait long for the big reveal: IFA Berlin kicks off September 4.
