World’s largest selfie taken in Bangladesh

The world's largest selfie of 1,151 people has been captured in Bangladesh with Microsoft's lastest Nokia Lumia 730 phone, also known as “Selfie-phone.”

The photo, taken by Lumia 730 with Windows Phone 8.1, was posted on the Microsoft Lumia Bangladesh's Facebook page on Saturday.

Taken on the same day, it was captured by the phone having a 5MP front-facing camera which has a wide angle for selfie photography.

The firm said it was an attempt to break the world record of a selfie with the "most number of people with recognisable faces."

Microsoft is said to be waiting for an official confirmation from the Guinness to enter the book of records.
