Android Central Question

Hello. I read that LG phones such as LG V30 are using unique phone camera's with lens made of glass instead of plastic what gives better image crystal clear quality. Could anybody here please provide me list of all phones using glass lens? Are secondary camera lens also made completelly of glass material?
 
Welcome to Android Central! I haven't been able to find a list, but this article from last year explains why plastic works better for the very small lenses that need to be made, and also that the quality of images from these plastic lenses continues to be excellent: https://www.thephoblographer.com/20...s are almost,light on high-resolution sensors. I would guess that any possible advantage of a glass lens would not be noticeable, even by photography experts.

Plastic is preferred for most of the lens elements at least, because moulded aspheric elements can be made, relatively easily. Grinding and polishing aspheric surfaces on glass is difficult and expensive, and moulding techniques for glass are not sufficiently precise. Aspheric surfaces are desirable because they make it easier to produce wide-aperture lenses and similar exotica, and also allow the designer to produce simpler, more compact designs.
