Samsung Galaxy S8 uses two different camera sensors
It turns out that Samsung is using two
different sensors for the back and front camera in the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
Units have been spotted using a Sony IMX333
sensor and a S5K2L2 ISOCELL sensor made by System LSI, a subsidiary of Samsung.
The same goes for the new 8MP autofocus front-facing camera - underneath the
optics is either a Sony IMX320 unit or an ISOCELL S5K3H1.
The different cameras share the same specs
across the board though. No matter if you get a Sony or a Samsung-made main
camera you still have a 1/2.55" 12.2MP sensor with Dual Pixel autofocus
and naturally the optics are the same as well - f/1.7 aperture and optical
image stabilization. So the pictures from either camera should ultimately be
the same - no need to worry.
It's nothing new for Samsung to use two
different camera sensors - the Galaxy S6 and S7 both used both Sony and
Samsung's own ISOCELL sensors too.
