The Galaxy S6 will have a 16-megapixel camera with Sony’s IMX240 sensor
Very disappointing. Not saying it's a bad sensor because its not. But i expected Samsung made bigger sensor, it was previously reported that it will feature 20MPX Samsung sensor.
Mod Edit
Thread for specs is here:

Hey All,
Been trying to find detailed specs of main camera as Samsung only said it has OIS in their keynote. Lol.
Please help by posting max iso, aperture, f. Sensor size etc.
My Z2 overheating issues is starting to bug me so looking to go back to note line after note 3 camera sucked! Hoping Note 4 is better than S5.

It's a 4.8mm lens with f/2.2 aperture, OIS, 16 MP camera. I based these specs on the exif data of a sample picture. Samsung has not confirmed anything about the sensor, although it is suspected that it is by Sony. Not much more is known at this time.

get photo make with help Note4, then PUMa - Tools - Camera with this photo and have information about module & sensor
It uses Sony imx240 sensor afaik
Why are samsung not releasing info?
Thanks for all comments but this is weird English - The Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 16MP 1/2.6” size sensor with f2.0 aperture lens. This is not the same module as on the Galaxy S5 though. Did they mean it is the same module?

The aperture is wrong in that article. There are sample photographs out there you can download and then examine the exif data. That will confirm that the aperture is f/2.2 and the lens is 4.8mm. Exactly as Galaxy S5.

Thought as much. That's the reason samsung didn't release info as they knew they would be hammered grouping some camera tech!
Not asking much just a decent spec camera? At least S5 takes good pics in general just same Sammy low light fail (indoor)

The Note 4 may do better in low light however if they have incorporated a Sony sensor. OIS should help as well. There are other things that could be different too like ISO, and shutter speed, So I am curious to see how this thing will do in low light.

Well it was believed to be the Sony sensor. However the Lenovo Vibe Z2 released with a 16MP OIS Samsung made ISOCELL camera sensor leads to believe Samsung used their own ISOCELL sensor in the Note 4.
And released samples show a lot of improvement in low light compared to past Samsung devices. Even the S5.
And the OIS video test compared to the S5 makes an immediate huge difference. And the S5's video without OIS was already outstanding. So the detail or better of the S5 with OIS to clear up more detail and stabilize it.

On the german Samsung-Site it looks like the rear camera will have only f/2.4 aperture

I thought it was already confirmed to be a Sony IMX240 sensor?
Sammobile is usually on point - can't post links yet, but google "Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Camera Features – 16MP, Side Touch, Wide Selfie, and much more." See below for quote.
According to our sources, Samsung is equipping the Galaxy Note 4 with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX240 camera sensor on the back with optical image stabilization (OIS), which is capable of shooting UHD (3840×2160) video at 30FPS. This isn’t the first time Samsung is using the IMX240 camera sensor - Samsung has used the exact same sensor in the Korean Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE-A (SM-G906S/L/K), however it lacked optical image stabilization (OIS)

Hi, is there any possibility to port the s6 camera to our note? I read that s6 uses the same imx240 camera sensor with note 4 so i think it may be possible..
Well as far as I've checked, the Galaxy S7 will be as it was with other models the fastest smartphone. Here is a short specs that I can almost be assured
____________________________________
1. Chipset
=> Exynos 7422 Octa (Indian)
=> Exynos 8890
=> Snapdragon 820
2. Display
It might sport the same QHD resolution at 5.2 inches or maybe a 4K. With presaure touch solution, it'll take androiding to a whole new level.
3. Extras
Just like the previous models, S7 will also feature a fingerprint sensor. Again it is rumored that it might have an Iris scanner like Lumia 950.
It must have a heart rate sensor
4. Camera
Samsung may use a smaller camera to make the device slimmer.
==> 16 MP Sony Exmor Camera with OIS. Front facing 5-8 MP camera with DIS/EIS and autofocus.
This is all i've currently. Please stay tuned and check every websites for more
With QHD and especially 4K resolution combined with TouchWiz software it's going to need a HUGE battery. The S6 with its 2,550mAh battery and QHD screen had crap battery life.
A lot of your rumors are obvious (like having a fingerprint scanner), some are wrong (like it likely having a 16MP sensor), and you're missing the useful specs and anything new.

Note5 and S6 both had heart rate sensor, actually...

You're right, I heard something about that changing on the S6 and Note 5 but I think it was the dedicated flash for the heart rate sensor that was removed.
Probably no chance for FM radio...?
I have been thinking about installing a n7 based rom's on my phone and was curious if it fixed the hdr auto/on pink pixels on samsung isocell camera sensors? I would ask the developers but I have not posted enough to ask them questions,so have to have ask in q&a section.
Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+: which camera sensor did you get? LSI or Sony IMX333?
Maybe including a little info on how to retrieve that info would get you more answers?
IMX 333
imx
You can view the camera info by downloading Aida64 from the Play Store.
I have an AT&T S8+ with the Sony IMX_333 camera sensor
Verizon Samsung Galaxy 8+ and I have the Sony IMX_333.
IMX_333
SLSI_S5K2L2_FIMC_IS
Edit: Exynos Version
So i guess iam unlucky this time :/ Had a Sony sensor on my s7e

UAE Retail G955FD here. Got the LSI sensor.
Sent from my SM-G955F
Exynos with Samsung sensor.
T-Mobile version SD Sony sensor
samsung sensor here in europe (exynos)
seems all snapdragon variants have sony, all exynos have samsung
differences are imho very little to not noticeable, as the sensors are basically the same, only the manufacturer differs...
T-Mobile US here Sony IMX_333
Sprint 955U with Sony sensors.
Exynos version with Samsung sensor here (EU)
This should be designated a Poll thread, not a Q&A thread. Q&A threads are for voting on the "correct" reply message, which makes no sense for this thread.
Yes, use AIDA64 to get information about camera sensor and other internals.
The last time I had S6 with Samsung and Sony sensor after repair. Sony one looks so so much better. Have no chance to try two S8 with Sony imx vs Samsung. Wonder if it's the same for the S8/S8+. My S8+ has Samsung sensor. Hmm..
