This does close the gap between digital camera's and smartphones. Aperture is the size of camera hole to which determines how much light enters to be processed by the sensors. More of inverse relationship as with lesser aperture value means bigger is the opening. Meaning f/1.7 will take in more light and should be good for low light shots while f/2.4 is good for super bright conditions.
