It's aggressively de-noised. Very much like modern phone cameras do these days: almost looks like a watercolour painting in some cases.
I really hate the result, they apply something like some gaussian filter followed by deconvolution which makes people's faces very uncanny: super soft skin with super sharp wrinkles
Exactly. It looks airbrushed as hell.
