Yeah, I know it would be cool if they produced such a small mobile device, sadly this is just an optical illusion of a small Sony mobile phone. I don’t know what is the type of this phone, but I sure know how they acchieved this effect… what about you, can you guess it?

I think that the hand is not actually on the table, but is closer to the camera than the phone.
Yea. The hand is raised closer to the camera, therefore making the hand look bigger. (I don’t try to correct you, i just reply to the top, so people will read this!)
same here
you can see it in the shadows. if it was on the table the hand would have a shadow similar to the phone. but the hand doesnt have one at all
The light through the fingers gives it away, if his hand was on the table, there would only be shadow.
the persons hand is obviously not on the table, the phone is and the hand, like the first person said, is much closer to the camera… duh, it doesn’t even need to be photoshopped
Thats easy, he just lifted his hand higher above the table, instead of on the table where the phone is. Its like when people stand farther away, the look smaller. :)
The lighting is what makes this one work well. The most prominent light source comes from above-right, and slightly forward. This casts the hand’s shadow to the left and towards the bottom of the shot, partially hidden by the hand, and just out of view of the shot (which was undoubtedly cropped for this very purpose).
/*The hand is above the table, while the phone is on it – just so you understand that my post is based on this (assumed) fact*/
it is like the first one said, that the hand is closer to the camera than that phone is, the phone is on the table while the hand isn’t for one reasons that between the 2nd and the 3rd fingers from the rights you can see that the white color of the table is seen, while if you really put your hand on a table between your fingers will be black!
They photographed the phone from a distance over a white background and then placed a hand just withing focus before snapping the picture. Thus the phone looks really small and the hand looks really big

He lifted his hand off of the table until he got the result.

gizzmo.
Or his hand is on a glass table and the phone is one the floor…think about it ;)
guys, its obviously a shrink ray.
that man obviously just has a massive hand!
The guy’s hand is closer to the camera and they eliminated the shadow of the guy’s hand. Done very nicely.
The hand is closer to the camera. It’s a depth perception illusion.
his hand isnt even touching the table
