48 Hours in Barcelona - MWC 2019 Competition - Competition now closed

I would have painted my letter cuttings with the classic Nokia blue color but no, its natural color gives me nostalgia of the 2012 Nokia Cardboard Challenge where I was one of the shortlisters of that global competition. It's where much of my social media engagement with various institutions started which literally took me places.

It was mid 2018 when I started to join a social media challenge tagged as #AdvancedSelfie. It's a self-taken photo, no production team - completely solo. Guess what my greatest weapon is. My 1-year old Nokia 8!!! Others may find it completely vain but without the 13MP-Carl Zeiss-shooter, I wouldn't have mastered the art of taking advanced selfies. All of my self-portraits were taken by this superb, solid-block aluminum device (photo above is one of them). My Nokia 8 has been the absolute bomb or the right medium for me to produce those high-end fashion shots. As a result, I had gotten a lot comfortable in my own skin, been able to conquer my inner demons and at the same time get the feeling of fulfillment from seeing my handiwork. It's beyond vanity as it awakens empowerment and creativity. 

The smart way of taking photos these days is by using the front camera of your phone. That's why people save and invest for high resolution front camera phones like the Nokia 8.

December 2018, was when the predecessor of my Nokia 8 was announced- the Nokia 8.1. The ultimate phone I have been eyeing to own one day because of its 20MP selfie shooter. Which I believe will make my future selfie moments simple yet professionally picture perfect. These are my favorite Nokia phone moments of 2018 and with Nokia, I will always be confident.

Thank you Nokia. #GetSmart #Nokiamobile

Now this is exciting @matteo.m !!!
Well I am sure everyone here would want to be a part of this year's Grand event, MWC 2019.
Regarding the contest, my first very special moment was when I chose to buy Nokia 7 Plus in April 2018 after my old device got damaged. This is especially interesting because I only used Nokia old feature phones like a decade ago and now i give it another to chance to try an Android One branded Nokia phone. At that time, I was among the first few customers in Thailand who pre-book the smartphone and i am really glad that I did it. Because after playing with the device for quite some time now, I believe it offers me a complete package be it the design, ZEISS optics, smooth performance and of course 2-day battery life as i expected.
Secondly, Nokia 7 Plus is certainly a delight to watch and it provides me a great grip. Some of the best shots that I took are shown below:

M using Nokia 7plus from 7 months . I love to do photography. I have previously used Nokia Lumia 535 and 640 . Now I do photography with 7+ . I have a photography page on insInstam as @sinbalvir9779. And 80%of posts out there are shot by Nokia 7+ . My favourite Nokia moment was when juho likes my photo .  I was really surprised and happy to saw that the chief product officer of Nokia likes my photo .  And now he  liked more photos . This worked as an appreciation for me.  Nokia is close to my heart. One reason I use Nokia 7+ for photography is that ,I want to promote Nokia . I want it to be no 1 again , and regain its previous glory . I grew up watching and playing with Nokia🥰. I want photos taken by me shown in launch event ..that my dream..  Best of luck Nokia✌️

Hello all,

I am huge Nokia fan. From my first phone, Nokia 3310 till date, Nokia 8.1 I have been using Nokia. Not only me but my family is a Nokia family  . Here is my collection of Nokia only couple are missing which got stolen rest all are still in working condition.

I love the Nokia phones they come with the assurance and solid build quality. For me the Nokia moment of 2018 was attending #Nokia 8.1 launch event in #Dubai  . That was turning point for me in my life because since then I have been travelling. As per my google timeline I covered 20% of earth  in just last 6 weeks and who knows travel to Barcelona will be continuation to that. The photos below is snapshot of my travel in last 6 weeks.

Not only travel but photos taken using Nokia 8.1 has helped in creating impact in social media. It is turnaround story for me in social media, Nokia 8.1 helped to gain the traction. It has helped me to live my passion of photography. Increasing likes and great comments on my photos gives me encouragement and motivation. The below is the snapshot from social media timeline of my some of trending photos.



The photos captured by New Nokia 8.1 help me to create impact 10 folds and just in last 6 weeks I have captured close to 5000 photos. Thank you Nokia for bringing Nokia 8.1 to my life, for me it's a Nokia moment of life.

Nokia came out from Microsoft and Introduce its first stock Android mobiles in MWC 2017 Nokia 3,5,6 in mid range.

        After Six months this mobiles arrived to Indian market.

        After two flash sale I got my Nokia6

on September 8th 2017. From on that day I became a family member in Nokia Committee and being active member in  Nokia Committee .

    Using Since 17th months my Nokia 6 still feels a great in hand feel with good design and Stereo Dolby atmos speakers in it.

   With Snapdragon 435 a mid range processor feels decent in daily tasks and by regular updates its becoming better.

    Frist cameras used to be decent to capture but after installing GCAM the pics are really super with full of details.And 3000mah battery is lasting me for a 4:30 hours screen on time.  

      And last wording on my Nokia6 experience is a decent mid range performer.           

    And I am Eagerly  waiting for MWC 2019 event new mobiles from Nokia.

      By the God Grace I my be with you all on that event.

My journey with Nokia started off in the year 2010 when I owned my first handset "Nokia 5230". after a couple of years I got my hands on the unique, yet the best of design from Nokia that is "Nokia n97". It was so handy, ergonomic and quite good at the utility. Years passed and finally, I've been gifted the iconic, first of its kind "Nokia N9" with the most celebrated design and form factor running "MeeGo OS" and swipe gestures which was much ahead of its time. Years after when the smartphone industry was booming with the latest tech, I decided to get a bit professional with smartphone photography and got the legendary "Nokia Lumia 1020". I really started to see the world through it. Coming to the point, my best Nokia moment in 2018 happened when I was travelling across the Americas. I was addressed by some professional photographers whilst doing a landscape photo shoot. They were truly amazed by the optical powerhouse in my hands, the Lumia 1020 and things it was capable to do. I was fully driven by the juggernaut of Nokia. Such a beauty it is, with perfectly balanced ergonomic vitals. The best thing happened is Nokia collab with "Carl Zeiss" optics. I am using it pretty much for every daily drive use including photography in every possible condition. Hoping to be fortunate enough be a part of this event and experience Nokia to the fullest! Sadly I don't own any of the new Nokia handsets coming from HMD global yet. Can't really wait to get my hands on one of these gems. Yes.. make me win this contest so that I can add up another masterpiece from Nokia to my collection lol. When I hear the word Nokia, I don't have any words.. but memories associated with the little me Cheers to the Finnish craftsmanship. Here are some of my best moments captured with Nokia. #nokiaforever

My favourite moments are when I see people surprised after I tell them I have Nokia and it runs on Android.
Then I would give my Nokia 8 into their hands to try it out and it warm my heart to see their smiles and to hear them saying that Nokia is back. 

It means a lot to me as Nokia 3230 was y very first smartphone and I dreamed what Nokia and it's Symbian OS could become in future. And even though Symbian is dead, future looks bright for Nokia.

This is my Nokia 6 - https://youtu.be/RTrOmH49QSU. I've had it for over a year now and I just  love the premium build and the camera, always capturing amazing pictures. As you can see in the video, the phone has been through a lot. Whenever I was dropping it I was thinking "That's it, I've ruined it", but every time I picked it up it just needed a good dusting off and it was good to go.  My favorite Nokia moment of 2018 was when I realized that this phone really is meant to endure everything (just like the old Nokia phones): when I had a bike accident. I was on my bike and the phone was in my back pocket. When i feel off the bike, I sort of rolled over and you can see that the corner of the phone took a pretty big hit, but (like a true Nokia phone) the phone just kept working like nothing happened. I've used Nokia phones for ages (one of favorite models was Nokia 3220) and it's great to see that the great build and simply beautiful design is embedded into the new phones as well. Can't wait to see what Nokia has in plan for 2019!

I am working with Amul Dairy since 2016. In July 2018 I was transferred to one unit to another unit of Amul. I reached to that unit and resumed my duty. Few hours later my manager called me to his office and gave me a mobile phone, which was intended to use for official purposes only. When I saw that mobile I was extremely surprised and happy. It was not a smartphone. It was Nokia 150, a simple keypad mobile with 0.3 MP camera. That was my favorite Nokia phone moment of 2018.

There are so many reasons behind the moment being a very special moment for me. Till 2005 we were using a BSNL landline. In late 2005 my father bought a Nokia 3220 which was the first mobile phone of the entire family of mine. In mid 2016 I bought Nokia 1600 which was my first personal mobile phone. I still remember playing Cricket cup game for hours on it.

In mid 2008 I bought my another Nokia mobile, Nokia 6233, the phone with best sound quality, best camera result and outstanding handsfree.

Two years later in 2010 I bought another Nokia mobile, which was my first touch screen phone Nokia 5233. Using a touch screen phone for the first time was a memorable experience for me.

Used Nokia 5233 for 2 and a half year, and then I bought a black Nokia Lumia 520 mobile which was my last Nokia mobile.

I currently use a Motorola G3 mobile but there are so many memorable moments of my life which are associated with Nokia mobiles. So I still miss those Nokia mobiles days. Getting in touch with a Keypad Nokia mobile after so many years is therefore the most memorable moment for me. Playing Snake Xenzia on Nokia 150 is a wonderful pleasure which I am enjoying these days.

My best moment was when I held the Nokia 8 Sirocco in my hand at showroom 5 months back. I was in love with the device. I got one 3 days back with the notion even if I had choices, this is the ultimate device I have ever held in my hand. I am really in love with the Nokia 8 Sirocco. And yes I am a proud Nokia Fan. #Nokia 8 Sirocco.

1. I think the most amazing moment was when the Nokia 7 plus joined my collection of phones on the first day of the 2019. 
.
2. I think because it changes my opinion Before Nokia 7 plus I've never thought a monster in a reasonable price with a proper build and software quality until the Nokia 7 plus, Nokia 6.1 plus and Nokia 8.1 arrived And now my Nokia 7 plus has double new year . Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
