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
Slsi_s5k2l2_fimc_is
sm-g955f
Samsung Sensor
Exynos Version
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)

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..
Verizon model
SONY_IMX333

I am trying to establish which is those two is best choice overall, in terms of video recording under various conditions. Primariry day shooting, but also in cases with limited light. The ISOCELL is the one founf in the original S5 (G900F) whilst the Sony sensor has appeared in the latest 805 SnapDragon equipped S5 Plus (G901F). I am aware of the improved performance, due to the revised hardware of the G901F over the older S5, but I am mostly interested in using the phone heavily as a camera shooter.
I have read alot around those two different sensors e.g. here (ISOCELL), here (IMX), here (IMX) and here (ISOCELL vs others). But I am still confused at to which of the two is the best choice, based on what I mentioned above. The G900F or the G901F?
Also, I am aware that it's not all about the sensor, but there are other factors to it too e.g. management software. Since the G900F with the ISOCELL has been around more than the Sony-equipped S5 Plus, I guess it's more 'matured' now. Meaning that there might be some 'room for improvement' for the S5 Plus e.g. future firmware updates. Who knows..
Based on what we got now, Is there any quality review or head to head comparison of just those two sensors that I can draw more conclusions from?
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.

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.
So i decided to check my camera sensor on my N910C Running erobot 2.0 Marshmallow
This is what i found out
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8-6e_5n2ovpV0xSLVFaQ0pILXc
I have 2 Sensors in one device
Is this suppose to happen?
Some sites say that the Back Camera Of the Exynos variant should be Samsung's SLSR / ISOCELL
The SOny IMX240 Should be on the Snapdragon.
What do you guys think
Interesting.
Last years all the S and Note versions use to have Sony IMX sensors on Qualcomm version and SLSI (Samsung low quality sensors) on the Exynos version.
I just test a Qualcomm version from China and I was very surprised to discover with Aida64 that Samsung uses the low quality sensors even on this Qualcomm version, only the selfie sensor is IMX from Sony.
I just wonder, in US version with Qualcomm it's the same? Becouse, I really like the IMX sensors vs Samsung ones
Just check it with AIDA64 and let us know pls. Thank You!
Confirmed...slsi on US model.

Same on Canadian
You shouldn't call them low quality, Sony is actually quite behind hardware-wise and Samsung is getting rid of it for a reason, you can very well expect the next Pixel to have an ISOCELL sensor too, it would really do wonders with good processing.
Many manufacturers are sourcing these sensors from Samsung, Apple includes them in their latest phones too
But yeah, the only Sony IMX Qualcomm S10s have is the front camera, everything else is a proprietary upgrade.
I have an Exynos and I'm very happy with the rear camera, disappointed with the front one, it's applying a pink-clear effect on skins no matter the settings and I just don't come from a culture obsessed with automatic photo editing to make faces look like plastic, I want total accuracy and I hope they give up on the Asian autophotoshop bull**** with future updates, I don't need that.
