Microsoft Corps hardware chief gave employees a sneak peek at a selfie phone featuring a 5 megapixel forward-facing camera at an internal meeting this week, a source at the company said on Tuesday. Stephen Elop, the former Nokia CEO who now runs Microsofts devices business, showed off the phone in front of thousands at the companys annual employee meeting in Seattle on Monday. The 5 megapixel camera on the front of the device is much more powerful than Apple Incs iPhone 5, with a 1.2 megapixel front camera, and the Microsoft phones screen is larger, making it better-suited for users who want to take pictures of themselves. Microsoft is jumping on the selfie bandwagon after rival Samsung launched the Galaxy K Zoom earlier this year.
