A Google search for "France phone camera" only gives this posted link and dailymail.co.uk article, both of which are not really trustworthy sources, IMO.

So I'm gonna go with "this is very possibly fake news".

It's very real, here are two legit sources in french:

You can use the service of your choice to translate them if you don't understand french.
