It’s ok, your moon photos aren’t fake, they are just enhanced – quite a bit

Have you taken a photo of the moon recently? I almost did, the other day, when I spotted a fabulous moment here in Dubai. It was almost a blood-red moon. I didn’t bother.

All of my texts, app preferences, everything was copied over. The screen is simply dazzling. I am really impressed. The speed of the device is noticeable - that's good. I won't get into processors or RAM. It's just faster. And the camera. Oh my...
