LG Wing has attracted attention for its unique flip screen, while others have been bland, such as the camera aspect to be talked about today. LG Wing doesn't have any bright spots on camera hardware, but hardware is only part of the "photo experience." As an established mobile phone manufacturer, LG's camera algorithm in the industry's reputation is not bad, but some positive, but somehow LG from the G5, hardware has not kept up with the same generation, such as the 2019 net red CMOS Sony IMX586 bad street when LG's G8 ThinQ and V50 ThinQ flagship models only used the outdated IMX363. Today, take a look at LG's progress in taking pictures, and where the gap is with mainstream flagships.
lens
LG uses the matrix camera set design on Wing, with 0.5x (ultra-wide) and 1x (main camera) schemes on the focal segment, and no original growth camera, but Ring has two ultra-wide angles. First of all, the two-focus segment parameters are also very flat, the main camera is 64MP, aperture F/1.8, unit pixels for 0.8 sm, sensor size is 1/1.72 inches, the specific model is unknown, support phase focus F/1.9 with a field of view of 117 degrees, a sensor size of 1/3.4 inch and a unit pixel of 1.0 m, and a second ultra-wide camera with an aperture of F/2.2, a field of view of 120 degrees and a sensor size of 1/ 2.55 inches, 1.4 μm in pixels. In addition, The corresponding parameters for Ring's front pop-up camera are 32 MP, f/1.9, 1/2.8", 0.8 m. LG calls King's second ultra-wide camera "Gimbal Camera Motion", which means that the gimbal motion camera, which supports stabilization while moving the field of view up and down, is also a feature of Ring, producing many creative scenes when shooting a Vlog.
focus
Smartphone photography development so far, the focus of mobile phones will basically not be a problem, and the quality of the camera can basically determine the focus level, as long as the algorithm is not too negative optimization problem is not big. But LG Wing's problem is that the hardware doesn't work. THE DRAWBACKS OF HARDWARE ARE MAGNIFIED WHEN THERE IS INSUFFICIENT LIGHT, SUCH AS THE SCENE BELOW, WHERE AUTOFOCUS HAS NO SUCCESS RATE. FORTUNATELY, LG'S FOCUS LOGIC IS SMART WHEN THE FIBER IS SUFFICIENT AND NOT EASILY ALIGNED TO THE BACKGROUND.
zoom
As mentioned above, LG Wing does not support optical zoom, even if it is only 2x, so this section only slightly lists two diagrams
HDR, METERING AND COLOR
HDR's full English name is High Dynamic Range, that is, high dynamic range, mobile phone automation HDR has developed rapidly in recent years, and manufacturers are from the previous force is too strong or insufficient force to the current force moderate change. HDR and multi-frame technology on mobile phones not only expand dynamic range, but also improve the details, which brings more space to the metering, too bright place how to control highlights, dark details how to control shadows? These are all issues that the HDR mechanism should consider.
In the first group picture, LG metering is also very accurate, but HDR under the picture slightly bright so lost, and hardware quality is placed there, compared with ZEISS T film vivo can not be very good pressure local highlights, but also caused the picture is colder, this situation needs to add multiple manual focus and so on to correct.
The second set of LGs shows a better sense of light. The lead singer's top, background monitoring, etc. are better restored, and vivo at this time the picture is cooler tone, the above-ground bottles and other red also slightly overflowed. The phenomenon is very complex, there are HDR components in, organic internal AI factors, but also CMOS itself problems.
All in all, LG Wing is generally hardware, but not bad in terms of metering, HDR, and color.
quality
LG Wing's master camera quality is certainly not cheap compared to the vivo x60 pro plus GN1. What about the facts?
Detail is picture quality. Not to say that the unsurlused sky colors under the X60 Pro Plus, or even the blue of the small playground, are pulled up in contrast, so zoom in here to see the details. Whether it's a little boy on the left side of the screen or a distant floor in the upper left corner, the X60 Pro Plus doesn't take advantage of the big sensors, or maybe the LG Wing's 6400w pixels are superior here?
Looking at the leaf trunks below the screen, Wing seems to have the upper hand again.
When the light is really low, the X60 Pro Plus's big sensor advantages come into play.
LG Wing's main camera is enough to weigh the first step in light, which is unexpected. This also reminds domestic mobile phone manufacturers, hardware on the annual crazy iteration, the algorithm has not been able to fully tap hardware performance, it is a pity.
summary
LG's exit from the mobile phone market is a loss for mobile photography enthusiasts and even for all consumers. LG not only has the unbridled innovation ability, but also has a lot of precipitation in computational photography. The hardware level is eye-catching LG Wing in the photo with the recognized first ladder call board ability, and in some places even small beyond, this is the result of the precipitation of technology, which many manufacturers still lack.
