Hello, mates!
I own a galaxy s4, IMO is a perfect device for dimensions, screen, and spaces optimizations.
I don't like s5 form factor, and the only one thing I really miss with s4 is the camera in low light conditions.
Compared with new sensors s4 can't make very good low light pictures, a friend of mine have huawei p7 and I can see that in darkness pictures are much better than mine take with s4!
My idea is to install s5 camera in galaxy s4, I think pinout could be the same (n^ of pins are the same, but I have no datasheets).
It could be a difficult mod because s5 flex cable is not straight like the flex cable of s4 camera:

Probably it's impossible for a lot of reasons (drivers? from galaxy s5 is possible? Fit to the case? Cable?), but I ask because I know someone swapped camera sensors in other devices, and the only thing that makes it seem "old" the s4 is the camera performance :cyclops:

I don't know, for this reason I posted in Q/A section
Hi,
I have owned an s5 but upgraded to the Note 4. I wanted a QHD phone with an awesome camera. The note 4 is almost as good camera wise as the s5 in my opinion except the new modes don't work anywhere near as easily or well on the note 4. I love drama shot mode an used it all the time on the s5 but its almost imposible to get the Note 4 to take drama shots. Of course I know how to do them technically but they rarely work out. It was much easier and far better to have drama shot as a unique mode like on the s5. I have tried to install the s5 drama shot APK onto my note 4. It installs OK and shows up in the camera modes options but when selected it doesn't appear in the actual camera.
Can anyone think of a solution to get this addition to work? Or is it possible to get the original s5 camera app working on the Note 4?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hey i wanted to know if i can change/repalce the camera of my Samsung galaxy express with the camera of my samsung galaxy s2 i think the connectors are the same... Is it possible or is it likely it would destroy some driver chips?
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

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)
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..

I would like to know too.. I see no reason why Samsung would not push this software to our Note9 however it might take forever until they decide to do so.
If they do that, s10's sale will be doomed as nobody like a screen with a notch or a punch hole. DISTURBANCE
