Here's the low light comparison. All three pictures were taken a minute apart. The first two are the Blackberry Bold 9900 – not the best camera on the market, but not the worst – and fairly typical of the optics people have in their pocket. The bottom picture was taken on the Lumia 920.

Re: With such a great camera why fake the pictures then?

If such a camera could receive SMS messages, act as a full voice-guided GPS SatNav and fit comfortably in my pocket, I might consider it. Sadly, I don't know of any. If you do, please link them because I'm not kidding.
