Mobile Photography: Image making with an HMD Nokia 3.1, age-old, but still with a competent camera capable of stellar images.

On the rare occasion where I had only the smartphone to take these photos with, for a story best told by the images themselves - a quaint roadside stall, quiet and serene, fronting the glowing morning sun, with the pots and pans on the boil, the tables and chairs laid out not too orderly, food and fare ready to be served, and the operators set for the wait..., and the servings best enjoyed within the solitude of oneself.

The images were shot on the HMD Nokia 3.1, an entry-level Android smartphone released in 2018 by HMD Global, which I have had for ages now. The smartphone has a 13MP rear camera with an LED flash, an 8MP front camera, and a 5.2-inch LCD touchscreen with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The phone still works flawlessly for me, while it seems that Google has not bothered to keep the Android One system updated

I did notice, though, that the camera function does have its fair share of system and software upgrades, and now there is a marked improvement with its image capture and rendering facilities, a note worth appreciating and a reason to keep using both the camera and phone.
