So some users(me included) reports that their s6 have a isocell sensor instead sony imx240.
With note 4 has the same drama, and some people defend is just a string error.

Is really the same sensor with different string?
Is the sensor the same, just made by other manufacturer?

Because honestly mine s6 reports an isocell sensor, and i feel, dunno if is only different to my eyes, the photos from a imx240 look better.

ISOCELL


Sony



Thanks

Here the same...no SonyChip [emoji15]
But the photo results are very impressive compared to my old ONE M8.



I used this Code to test it: *#34971539#

Supposedly, it's just how the kernel is reporting the ISP, not the sensor itself.

It looks like IMX240 real beats ISOCell even at outdoor now.
