It is blatant, false advertising. If Amazon claims this phone has an f/2.0 aperture lens they are lying. It might perform slightly better than other phones in low light, but not much and mostly it will be because of software within the phone that is aggressively post processing the image. It damn sure isn't because that tiny aperture lets in gobs of light--it doesn't, it can't. To truly perform well in low light the phone would have to have a huge lens and it certainly wouldn't fit in your pocket if it did.

You may be right.
My Canon 2.0 lens is relatively big and I can't believe this little thing can get the same aperture unless there is some missing hardware or software element not mentioned here.
But I still want a real DSLR for my vacation pictures. I haven't found a phone that beats my Canon.
