There is no doubt that Nokia wants to win the smartphone wars with its PureView technology to out-shoot the competition. Unfortunately, social media has once again exposed one of the photos as falsely advertised as taken from the to-be-launched Nokia Lumia 920 phone. See the photo below, it looks great and was allegedly taken by the Nokia Lumia 920 phone. Source: Mashable Blogger sefsar was rather curious about the light sparkles in the photo.
