LG Innotek, a leading global components and materials manufacturer, announced the development of a groundbreaking 16-Megapixel camera module with an aperture of f/1.8, making it LG Innotek’s widest aperture camera developed for a smartphone. The advanced camera module began mass production at LG Innotek’s plant this week and will be unveiled to consumers for the first time in the LG G4 later this month.

The advanced design of the camera module means that it receives 80 percent more light than in the highly praised camera found on the LG G3. More light means better looking im-ages in low light environments and less blur when shooting action and fast moving objects. Large apertures on smartphone cameras has been challenging to develop due to the com-plexity and size of developing modules that must fit in the very limited space of today’s smartphones.

Furthermore, in response to the explosive growth of selfies, LG Innotek developed an 8-Megapixel front-facing camera module, its highest resolution for a front camera to date. This high reso-lution module’s ultra-thin IR filter keeps infrared light from entering the camera lens, giving images taken with the front camera more natural and accurate colors. The 0.11mm thin filter is roughly half the thickness of competing IR filters.

The LG G4 is expected to have a 5.5-inch curved display with 534 ppi pixel density, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor combined with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable internal storage. The LG UX 4.0 will be featured on the upcoming LG G4 which will be officially unveiled on 28th April. Also LG will give out 4,000 LG G4 smartphones to selected consumers in 15 countries to test drive the new device before its official launch.
