You are selling to a market full of some exceptionally clever, resourceful tech fans, and if you try to get one past them, you’re going to get caught. Companies still sometimes push their luck juicing benchmark performance, or maybe they take a chance at faking camera samples. Over the years we’ve seen everything from Nokia faking video stabilization on the Lumia 920 to Samsung’s “detail enhanced” moon pictures, and now it’s time for Nothing and the Phone 3 to take the hot seat over accusations of misleading camera samples.
