Nokia faked the still images too

Written by

So Nokia admitted to faking the video and now they fake the images too. Was anything about yesterday’s event real?

    The only thing they didn’t fake was the pricing and the availability.

    Things like this take the wind out of any progress they made yesterday.

    When the iPhone was announced, the word is that Nokia people thought It was a Fake product (a non-functionnal Mockup), that It wasn’t possibly feasible…

    Maybe They just copied their impression of what they thought the iPhone was then (5 years ago) : a total fake…

    Ok, Let’s just hope the product actually is at least 70% of what was presented…

    actually no. Lazyreporting with no source checking. There are serious problems with sources conclusions and his pictures. Keeping-you-honest-shit.

      And those problems are…? Accusing someone of “lazyreporting” without providing anything you even claim to be more accurate yourself is just… more “lazyreporting”.

      Try again.

    Fact check central here…

    These images (the girl at night in the street) were shot with a DSLR. Nokia have admitted that. The optical flares on the lightsources is a bit of a giveaway. As the blog points out, this kind of flare could never happen with a smartphone camera.

    However these images were not on the Nokia site but freeze frames from a video section on optical motion stabilisation for video. Nokia have already admitted that all aspects of the video stabilisation reel was “simulated”. This is just a different faked video – frozen.

    To be fair, almost every computer and phone maker fakes the images that appear in the commercials,etc. The only difference is that most of them have the brains to put that tiny disclaimer at the bottom of the screen “images simulated”
