Windows Phone 8 Lacks the Iconic Camera Filmstrip Interface

Windows Phone 8, the next-generation mobile operating system from Microsoft, will arrive on devices with a variety of changes when compared to the previous releases of the platform, including some in the camera app.

Apparently, the interface of this application has been modified in the new OS flavor, and no longer shows the preview of the last taken photo. Microsoft’s hasn’t detailed the feature, but it was noticed in the hands-on video that Microsoft’s Ben Rudolph has published last week with Nokia’s new Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 smartphones.

The small strip was a highly appealing feature in Windows Phone, and it’s a bit disappointing to see it gone, WMPoweruser notes. However, various enhancements have been brought to the camera in Windows Phone 8, and the disappearance of this feature might not seem like a deal breaker at all.
