The new Galaxy S's all have gyroscope .. fascinate has flash , epic has QWERTY
screw all that .. i would've wished an epic but well it's CDMA and i need a GSM version .. oh well .. Galaxy S it is
but i was wondering .. does the original Galaxy S has that gyroscope ?
. .
"When you add in the 6 axis tilt control (gyroscope), the Galaxy S takes gaming to a whole new level. Now, let’s just hope we get some more compelling games on the Android Market."
that bla bla was on the link in the beginning of the thread .. so i believe all of the US S's have it
proof that Epic have it : http://www.androidcentral.com/gaming-sprint-epic-4g
now does the GSM version have it ?
Anyone? Does the original Galaxy S that is available in Asia have a gyroscope/six-axis accelerometer built in?
The EU and Asian Galaxy S doesn't seem to have a gyroscope. Its got a Bosch Sensortec SMB380 tri-axial accelerometer.

Isn't that the same as a Gyroscope (like the one in iPhone 4)? Because gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_4-3275.php says the following about the iPhone 4:
- Scratch-resistant surface
- Multi-touch input method
- Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
- Three-axis gyro sensor
- Proximity sensor for auto turn-off

So does the tri-axial accelerometer in the Galaxy S function in the same way as the one in iPhone 4 or not?
some phones say gyroscope but really use the compass in addition to the accerlerometer to get the extra axis.. not sure which we have here.. dont always trust advertisement.s

No gyro. and acc. are two different devices. One measures angles while the other measure acceleration in different axis.
as I know the accerlerometer in iphone 3GS can only perceive 2-axis (X, Y). The gyroscope added to iphone 4 make it 3-axis (X,Y,Z); it's equal to SGS's accerlerometer which can perceive 3-axis.
In my opinion, our SGS's accerlerometer will function equally to iphone 4's accerlerometer + gyros
iPhone4 has a 3-axis Accelerometer and 3-axis Gyro (STM L3G4200D) for precise 6-x axis movement.
SGS has only 3-axis Accelerometer as I know.
Without a Gyro you can read angle movements by a 3-axis magnetometer(compass) but with much less precision.

It seems that the i9000 has an accelerometer as well as a geo-magnetic 3 axis sensor.
Basically, every version of the galaxy S, including asian/euro ones, have 6 axis sensing capbilities

This is the biggest motivation on my side to buy Vibrant to be frank. I am a casual developer and would like to write some acc+gyro related application on my own phone.
As far as I know, Vibrant has 6 axis motion sensor, which should be 3 axis acc + 3 axis Gyro if I didn't misunderstand it. However, I can not get any information from internet about what's the model the sensor is, and I'm not sure if this sensor is of exact function as acc+gyro. So if anybody happened to know such kind of information, please share it, my purchase decision would be definitely based on this.
Thanks!
If I remember correctly it is actually a 6-axis accelerometer. It gives you angular acceleration instead of angular velocity, which has it's goods and it's bads.
Thanks Lutin
I'm not sure if it's Gyro or not. There are two posts can be referred

Based on what I saw, I guess most people are still confused about its type. This is why I was wondering if anybody knows the actual model by chance
There's no gyroscope in Vibrant, Captivate, Fascinate, Epic,...
just triaxial accelerometer from Bosch and triaxial geomagnetic sensor from Yamaha
Exactly the same sensor set with Galaxy S UK and Asian version.
Are you sure? This is totally different from what them claimed. They said they have something other than just digital compass

100%, sir.
I own both Galaxy S UK and Vibrant
I used some different software and *#*#0*#*#* code to check on both devices. I'm not surprised to realize that there's no gyroscope.
But the Yamaha geomagnetic is superior to almost every smart phones on the market right now (bi-axis). It's a tri-axis sensor.
I suppose that the combination of tri-axis geomagnetic sensor and tri-axis acceleration sensor will be equal to gyros + accele in iphone 4
Sorry for my English.

thanks man, you saved me a lot of time!
I played with one Vibrant today and yeah, it's magnetic sensor. But it performs basically the same as Gyro, just will be affected by the metal thing.
I have no idea how good it would be in real use and I am still thinking if I should give it a shot.
Hi,
I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, recently, there was a review of this smartphone at DPReview, mainly due to the camera being 13Mpx with Phase Detection Auto Focus, on such a cheap smartphone.
And I was wondering, how can I identify the Camera Sensors on this phone?
There has been a teardown of the phone, and below is the picture of the sensors found:
myfixguide dot com/manual/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-2-Teardown-16.jpg
The thing is, this references don't lead to anywhere... I've searched the net for them and found nothing... On Xiaomi's publicity, sometimes the sensor is publicized as being from Samsung or OV (Omnivision), this is never good, as we never know really what is the sensor we have on our phone...
And I've seen my share of Chinese Smartphone manufacturers that say they put sensors from Sony, and then it's Omnivision or Samsung (if your lucky), or else it's "Sunny" or some other small time chinese sensor brand...
What called my attention was, that for a smartphone so "cheap" (base model costs aprox. $125 in China), they put a 13Mpx PDAF sensor on it...
But I'm not sure both Omnivision and Samsung produce sensors with the same specs, also, from the picture below, it looks like the sensor might in fact be from "O-Film", another relatively lesser known sensor brand (check: o-film dot com)
Both sensors seem to have similar codes:
OMI BA 08
OMI 5F 05
So it looks like they might be sourced from the same manufacturer, but looking at the references, I'm afraid if they aren't really a 8Mpx sensor, interpolated to 13Mpx... Because of the "08" in the reference of the back sensor, while the front one has "05" which corresponds to the frontal camera spec of 5Mpx.
Can anyone help me identify the real sensor inside my phone? Thanks for the help !
Type *#*#6484#*#* into Phone, click on Software Version and scroll down. It does say OFilm under both Camera values. At least in my case.
Edit:
the sensors are http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/products/cmos-image-sensor/mobile-cis/S5K3M2?ia=217 and http://www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=150

Thanks for the tip !
In my case, I have:
- Back camera: the Sunny made S5K3M2_2ND (probably a clone of the Samsung ISOCELL S5K3M2, maybe this is their 2nd version clone or try...)
- Front camera: the Ofilm OV5670 (a clone of the Omnivision OV5670 probably)
I wonder if these clone brands have as good quality as the original ones...
Been looking on Chinese forums about this topic. I myself don't really care, but it slightly caught my interest. They are saying that the sensor is Samsung's and the camera module is Ofilm's or Sunny's.

Same here. The picture quality at day rivals those of much more expensive phones and the phone focuses fast enough for me - so the question on whether it's original vs a clone, or whether the PDAF is a real or fake one is purely academical to me. As for how such a "cheap" phone can have such features, it's simple: the companies charge huge margins. Just look at Sony's M5, it's essentially the same phone with more megapixels (though, tbh, not really better image quality) and costs around 500€. You're paying about 300€ just for the brand and pixels.
It's not a clone. Here is one of the links where it is explained what it all means: www.miui.com/thread-2916880-1-1.html
Use Google translate, you'll understand the general meaning. Basically, it's like I wrote in my previous post.

I'm not saying it is a clone, I'm saying I wouldn't care even if it is.
I was responding to the OP, though.

I have Sunny cameras (rear & front)
Front camera shot clean pictures in good light condition.
Rear camera is a little bit noise and macros are not perfect (you must stay at least at 10 cm from the subject in order to get a good macro) but autofocus is very fast
The problem is video FPS
I noticed that it drops dramatically in low light condition, from 30 to 22 so shot video lags
And in your?
I noticed that with miui 7 we now have slow motion so somewere around 90fps. ( you have to be in hd not in full hd to get this option).
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.

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...?
who has the brightcell sensor , the us or the inter. galaxy s7 ?
is-it best than imx 260 ?
the us or the inter. galaxy s7 ?
The camera sensor is a crap shoot. I'm in Australia, my Edge has the Samsung sensor, my mother's S7 has the Sony, both made in Vietnam.
I have the Samsung ISOCELL (brightcell is incorrect) on the international model, it's like Genebaby said, it is totally random which phone get what sensor. I think they just threw all sensors in 1 bin before they assembled the phones.
Several tests have proven both sensors are equally good.
US or International Version has only SoC differences.
Camera is NOT Region specific. Just the CPU is.

Okay, so I have the SLSI_S5K2L1_FIMC_IS sensor, which is.... which one? I'm using AIDA64 to check.

That's the Samsung one.
I could not find any relevant info about the NFC support in Nokia 6, If it has it, it would be perfect phone for the buck.
In the specs on the official web they have NFC as yes, but from design and teardown video
I can not see any NFC antenna. Does that mean, the Chinese version does not have NFC and global version will have it or is it just an error in specs?
Can somebody from the lucky owners confirm whether or not the phone has NFC?

No NFC. There's nothing in the settings, and just to be sure I didn't miss it I installed some NFC apps and they'll just say my phone doesn't support NFC.
I accidentaly looked at Nokia.com for the specs of th ephone and for my surprise under the international english the phone has
Sensors Accelerometer (G-sensor), ambient light sensor, e-compass, Hall sensor, fingerprint sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, NFC (sharing)

There is still hope for the NFC
Well it seems, we will have a NFC version of the phone. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/04/silver-colored-nokia-6-now-available-pre-order-china.html
Anyone ordering the 64GB Silver version?
Unfortunately no galileo support, since the Snapdragon 430 does not support it. HMD is stupid to build a phone on old SD430, instead of SD435.
Anyone have nokia 6 model TA-1003 and can post spec on that model.
4g/lte band supported
nfc
and what else is different from that model and the coming global model?
it seem some on ebay and some at other sites, have different spec about supported bands,and nfc, but all lists as TA-1003
would like to know what is the right spec, before i eventually buy a nokia 6 TA 1003 mod.
F. Eks Amazon list modell ta 1003 with nfc an more supported bands than dealextreme list on that same model.
Anyone know what the right spec is?
