Top five Nokia cameraphone Flickr uploads

Published by Adam Fraser on January 18, 2012

Taking photos

GLOBAL – Once you’ve captured an amazing photo with your Nokia phone, that’s just the beginning of the fun. Sharing that photo with other people around the world is the next step in showing off your creative ability.

That’s where Flickr comes in. Flickr is used across the globe by different people who all have one thing in common, a love of photography – even for amateurs. We’ve dug deep into the Flickr stats to find out what the most popular Nokia phones are when it comes to uploads and have some Flickr member images to share, too.

The Nokia N95 launched in 2007 and became a favourite among media-hungry users. Since then, it has become the most used Nokia cameraphone when it comes to taking a photo and uploading it to Flickr. To date, there have been 7,492,485 photos stored on Flickr, taken from a Nokia N95, with around 140 people still uploading images daily.

In second place, and with 4,302,903 images uploaded, the Nokia N73 continues to be the cameraphone of choice for many.

Reaching 2,889,818 uploads, the Nokia N70 still gets some good shutter-action for a device that was launched in 2005.

There’s 1,943,762 photos on Flickr that have been taken with the Nokia 6300, the first phone in this list to run the Series 40 OS and typically not thought-of as a smartphone.

At the tail end of our list of five top Nokia-Flickr photo uploads is the Nokia N82 with 1,586,206 uploads to date.

What about the Nokia N8?

While the above phones have claimed their place in the top five Nokia cameraphones – as far as Flickr photo uploads are concerned – what does that say about the Nokia N8 and its 12-megapixel camera? After all, it has won the Mobile Choice best camera phone award.

When it comes to quantity, the phones that we’ve already talked about have been around for a long time, up to six years in fact. These phones are obviously still being used across the globe and people are still continuing to use them as their main camera.

The Nokia N8 is a fairly new phone in comparison. However, looking at another set of Flickr statistics, we can see the amount of average daily users. This doesn’t just count the total images uploaded, but how many people on a day to day basis are taking photos and uploading.

In first place the Nokia C3 sees the most upload action, with 187 people (on average) uploading their photos every day. The Nokia N8 is just slightly behind, receiving 171 active daily users.

What’s more surprising? The fact the Nokia N8 is second, or that the Nokia C3 is first?

We predict that over time, the Nokia N8 will continue to be used as the amazing cameraphone that it is.

What happens to your photos once you’ve taken them? Do you upload them straight to Flickr, or do you use another service? We’d be interested to hear your preferred upload service. Use the comments section below to let us know.

    It’s worth noting that these statistics have nothing to do with *where* the photo was uploaded from; they’re based on the EXIF information in the header, which tells what camera took the picture.

    Not a single word “Lumia” in this article. THANK YOU!

     The main reason I have stopped to upload pics with my Nokia N8 is that Symbian ^3 no longer provides a share to Flickr feature (only Facebook & Twitter via Social app). So I stopped to upload them.

    Do you think to reimplement this feature one day ?

    That’s a very good point. That might stop some people from uploading to Flickr. Although, you could always offload your photos to a computer and back onto Flickr again. But it’s a valid point.

    As for reimplementation? I’ve got no idea…

    Most of the pictures I take with my N8 I share via Twitter and Facebook, either via the built-in sharing features from Nokia Social, or via Gravity. I have also recently started to use Molome too, and when I do it I usually share from there to Twitter and Facebook also.

    I wish Social or Gravity had support for Flickr, and I also would like to be able to send pictures to Google+. I used to use Picasa a lot, all my travel pictures from before I get my N8 are there.

    You can also use e-mail for downloading to flickr. It’s easy and it just works.

    Thanks for spotting that. I’ve changed it above so it now reads correctly.

    Wow very interesting stats for a Nokia fanboy and Flickr user like me. Almost all my photos on Flickr (user: warmth7) have been uploaded using the Flickr Uploader (for Windows) but most of them have been taken with a Nokia phone (N96, N97, N8, X7, E7, Lumia 800), just a few have been placed there by direct uploading (via Gravity) or using third apps like FlickSquare.

    Gravity supports Flickr uploads, give it a try!

    I think photos taken with Lumia handsets are marked like Windows Phone photos

    I put all my personal pics on flickr with a pro account directly from my N8. It’s a staggeringly good device and despite new Lumia devices taking the Limelight such as the Lumia 800, the N8 still is my favourite phone of all and still is king of the Photo-Smartphones by far.

    Anything public goes on one of the twitter sharing services like yfrog or twitter’s own. I use PicUpR for uploading directories of pictures to flickr directly over wifi. Occasionally using Gravity for single pictures to flickr too. For most other public pictures I use Gravity as it combines my uploads with text to a variety of services. If you’ve not used Gravity – try it out. It is without doubt the best social networking client on any platform mobile or otherwise – particularly for twitter but now supports youtube, flickr, foursquare, google reader, facebook. The combination of Nokia N8 and Gravity is insanely good. Cloud solutions like Flickr and SugarSync are icing on the cake.

    Also lets not forget that the N8 does superb quality videos as well, I put those on flickr too. Although indirectly as most of the mobile apps on the N8 don’t yet support video uploads.

    Why is the N8 behind in flickr uploads? The N95 had Share Online, which made it easy to upload pictures, even full size ones, to flickr; the N8 doesn’t.

    Interesting that my majority of uploads are with an archaic N73  model but quite extraordinary for a cell phone camera
