What is the iPhone 8, 8+, X camera quality/image sensor? LG V30 has 10 bit hdr and F/1.6 aperture.

Weeds? LG is marketing all of what I mentioned on their website for the V30. We should all become familiar with such 'weeds' so we don't end up being uneducated Apple consumers.

What task am I actually performing? Taking photos and recording video. I want to have the best quality photos and video I can get from a smartphone. If the iPhone sensor is indeed worse than the V30, then of course it makes a difference in actual usage.

But considering all of the iPhone threads you make on a daily basis, I doubt you’ll be getting anything other than an iPhone.

Was watching this video, I was amazed how high quality the camera was that I thought was actually better than the RED Weapon $50,000 cinema camera:

and looking at the LG V30 website for their phone:

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v30

3 things came to mind (besides their OLED FullVision display that has no notch and actually looks like they accomplish Apple's vision better than Apple did ("Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen. One so immersive the device itself disappears into the experience."), I knew LG made the best OLED displays), displays aside:

1. LG V30 has a 10 bit hdr image sensor instead of 8 bit image sensor.
2. LG V30 has an aperture of F/1.6 with glass lens
3. LG V30 has manual settings in default camera app

#3 I can live without given App Store having 3rd party apps... but what about #1 and #2? What image sensor does the iPhone 8, 8+, and X have? Is it 10-bit also? Does the F/1.6 matter much? Should the iPhones of this generation be taking better quality photos than the LG V30? Thoughts?

This is impressive thank you. And few people know Apple didn’t change the iPhone 8 camera from IPhone 7 so next years IPhone Xs Plus will feature

#1 a 6.4” OLED Display
#2. HEVC 10-Bit HDR recording
#3. Upgraded camera

they did change the camera. it's definitely a new sensor and new ISP.

But never let those facts get in the way of a good narrative.

If there was a way to confirm HEVC 10-Bit HDR recording is equivalent to 10-bit image sensor, then that is great. It shouldn't make sense for an 8-bit image sensor to have 10-bit HDR recording capabilities right?

A better camera dose not make a better photographer.
Great photos don’t need a great camera to produce.
Never chase a bunny down that rabbit hole. It’s a silly game.

BTW, the LG V30 does not produce 4K 10 bit videos. It uses 10 bits only for its “Cine log” or whatever it’s called recording. It then produces a 8 bit video from that.
The Sony XZ2 is the first phone to actually output 4K 10 bit HDR video.
