LG V30 first examples of photos and deception with a record aperture
A few hours ago, LG announced the flagship V30 smartphone features. One of its main chips was a dual main camera, the main module of which has a record f / 1.6 fps for smartphones (the resolution is 16 Mp). The quality of photography LG paid great attention during the press conference. What in fact? Our colleagues from GSMArena have already got acquainted with the novelties and have published several photos made with their help, therefore you can estimate the quality of the shooting.
The study of these examples caused us one question to LG. This question did not arise when studying the photos themselves, but when viewing their EXIF. The point is that in them the light-beam is not indicated as f / 1.6, but as f / 1.69. Well, that is almost the same f / 1,7 that in many smart phones of last year, starting with the Galaxy S7 and ending with the Gionee M2017.
There are three explanations for this: either the pre-release LG V30, which GSMArena was shooting, does not have the same optics as the commercial samples, or EXIF specifies incorrect data (this also happens), or LG is telling the truth about the record diaphragm.
