LG G4 Camera Review: Will Allow Users to Take Photos in the Dark
When the new LG G4 is unveiled a week and a half from now, it will be revealing a camera powerful enough to take pictures in the dark.
The LG G4 will soon make its debut on April 28, and the South Korean electronic manufacturer's new flagship phone will be sporting a big camera with a 16MP f/1.8 lens which will allow users to virtually see in the dark.
Cameras with a lower F value offer a larger aperture, which allows more light to enter the camera's sensor. Most smartphone cameras often have an aperture falling between f/2.2 to f/2.4.
The superior lens takes in 80 percent more light than its predecessor, the G3's camera, and with a considerably larger lens module with a six layer set-up, added to the larger camera aperture, will give users and photography enthusiasts a more superior quality of low light shots.
The lens, exclusively built in-house by LG's Innotek, is reported to offer higher precision large diameter shots.
The camera also comes with a 0.11mm glass blue filter to block out most incoming infrared light, lowering the chances of an inaccurate color display in every shot. While the filter isn't a new element introduced in smartphone cameras, the LG G4's blue filter is thinner than most, which may work towards improving its performance considerably.
Apparently, the leaked images of the LG G4 which were discovered in one of its microsites had the right of it when photos of a vegetable-tanned leather covered rear appeared online. LG confirmed the images today in their Facebook and Google+ accounts, featuring a phone with regular plastic or leather covered back options, both of which are removable, together with the phone's battery.
With a 5.5-inch 2K display, speculations continue to abound over the phone's processor, and whether it is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 or the newer 810 like in the One M9 and G Flex 2 remains to be seen when the LG G4 is unveiled near the end of the month.
