Samsung’s “space zoom” moon photos may be fake, claims Reddit post

There have been endless debates about whether Apple’s iPhone cameras are better, or whether Samsung does cameras better. While the talk over the years has been about the sensors themselves, computational photography has also come to be a major part of mobile phone imaging. While we know that nearly all smartphones have some sort of computational photography, it appears Samsung could have been using it a bit more than previously expected.

A new Reddit post claims that the “super zoom” moon photos we see from the higher-end Samsung phones may be fake, using image replacement over the actual picture users click. 

Too much computational photography?
