My favorite bits were putting in the reflection of his hand holding the phone to take the picture and then photographing his screen with the same phone to make the picture realistically _bad_ and create correct EXIF data.
There are quite a few telltales that it's a hoax (e.g. he fails to match the DOF of the photo), but they're far more obvious in hindsight. Kudos to Android Police for picking up queues such as the mismatched times -- I'm surprised, based on this discrepancy, they didn't call hoax rather than suggest is was a mockup or prototype.
- lbotos 14y agoThe only difference between a hoax and a mockup/prototype is intent. I'd say they were giving someone the benefit of the doubt and playing it safe. Hoax: welp, we erred on the side of caution. Prototype: You saw it here first!
