The Unfortunate era of the "Bothie"

Nokia has ushered in a new innovation which, although the concept is pretty cool, the title could use a bit of work. Nokia has created a concept which allows to take a picture using your front and rear camera at the same time and has called this neat feature, the “bothie”. Yes – the bothie. The word is derived from the word selfie, which is simply one picture, hence “bothie”. We can all agree that that’s the coolest name in the world for anything but the concept seems pretty promising.

It will introduce bothie-capable phones, particularly the Nokia 8 which is the first flagship phone from HMD Global, the company which now owns the Nokia brand name. It’s a pretty good phone with 4 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, brand-new processor, crisp 5.3-inch screen and runs on Android. The phone carries two 13MP cameras, front and back, which assures the same clean quality for those all-too-crucial bothies.

Of course, critics were all over this phone as some believe that this new feature has absolutely no real meaningful use and that they don’t see the word “bothie” really catching on. Regardless of all this, some still believe that it will come and take over the planet when nobody else is looking. The Nokia 8 won’t be available in the United States but it will be everywhere else selling from 599 Euros. Hopefully, as some critics predict, the bothie will eventually become popular and be the next big thing.
