Cyan update on 1520 is this real

Nokia Lumia 1520 Cyan Update - YouTube

 

[Laura Knotek]

The video is really grainy and poor quality. I really cannot see anything.

 

[AlexPacheco]

Well... lets just wait for the official release. Any ideas where it will be deployed first?

thanks for sharing , but i think it's fake , due to the video quality the maker trying to hide something

 

[AlexPacheco]

Yeah i think that's the case....ppl can be weird sometimes (that's my dog speaking).

Do you guys know if there is a 1520 ROM/product code for Portugal?

Bought mine with HK rom, wasn't shure if i could flash it with global so ended up flashing it to UK variant.

This might be just a test device from a carrier. Nothing much...
Cyan for 1520 should hit soon though.

Doesn't matter if fake or real. If the update is not yet out. there's really nothing you can do but wait.

My UK country variant 1520 running straight WP8 (not DP) was updated OTA to Nokia Cyan this evenin

It is definitely real now

Can someone who now has Cyan firmware on their Lumia 1520 please tell if the camera quality has improved for daytime and nighttime photos?

I'm going to take some photos today, but you have to wait a bit. Low light videos seem to have much less noise now.

Night time photos are definitely improved over Black firmware. Even auto settings photos are quite good unless there is sky visible in scene.

Here is what i managed to pull off.

What seems to be different compared to Black is that there is less contrast and noise reduction is more intelligent and it doesn't destroy details so badly, but still works very effectively cleaning noise from uniform surfaces. There is this certain clarity which wasn't presence in Black firmware photos.

Dynamic range looks wider when there is not too much contrast added during processing and shadowed areas reveal more details now. This makes photos brighter and more pleasant to look at when there is no need to blow out brightest spots of lights to make darker areas lighter.

I'm personally very happy to this firmware. Some of shots came out fantastic when i'm still learning this new firmware and what works best in different scenes. If you don't go over 800 ISO you should get decent photos. To my surprise most clearest shots always came out with 100 ISO and well over 1s exposure (free hands) at first try.

Tomorrow i try to take some daylight photos.

Here is few more that i took today.

Indoor shots comes out very well also. Colours seem to be very accurate.
