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".
Not fake. Just not really talked about in English, but it was mentioned in most French newspapers.
