LG’s forthcoming V30 flagship will be the first to make use of an f/1.6 aperture camera, according to the company.
LG says the device will include several camera innovations to improve its photography and videography performance. The f/1.6 lens in a significant start, as it allows 25% more light to reach the sensor when compared to an f/1.8 lens. This will dramatically help with low-light photography.
Further, LG is adopting what it calls a Crystal Clear Lens that’s made of glass, rather than plastic. The glass permits more light to travel through it, while also allowing for better color reproduction. Like the V20, G5, and G6, the V30 will have a dual camera array with one wide-angle lens and one standard-angle lens.
LG said it was able to cut down on edge distortion by 33% in the V30’s wide-angle camera when compared to the V20. Last, the V30 camera module is 30% smaller than that of the V20 while still including optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, and electronic image stabilization.
Together, all these advancements will make the V30 a better photography device than the V20. LG has already said the V30 will adopt a curved, plastic OLED FullVision display with a 2:1 aspect ratio and minimal bezels.
LG is expected to reveal the V30 in full at an event scheduled on August 31 at the IFA trade show in Berlin.
