Use an exif viewer to get the unique id of a photo. You can see in mine where is says LS. That means it's a Sony. If it says LL then it's an isocell.

My Verizon Galaxy S6 32GB Black shows LS with ExifViewer thank goodness, if it was Samsung sensor ISOCELL this phone would be back on Swappa. Clearly Sony IMX 214 sensor is better from all those comparison photos.

Still bummed that mine is isocell.

Verizon Galaxy S6 64 GB Black shows LS.
Thanks for the tip on how to check.

isocell on mine, works fine, really don't see what the big deal is. Not like most users are professional photographers. Many don't even know basic photography framing and shot selection.
The camera is better than any other camera I've had on a smart phone hands down. Refreshing to take a picture and the phone actually takes the picture rather than waiting for a while to make up its mind doing it.

**** mine is ISOCELL. gay! @MKBHD shoulda gave us a heads up what to look for! i got this phone cuz of his review!

Kinda dumb comment. Most likely didn't know at the time of his review that there were different types. Full research of the phone is your responsibility before you buy. Why didn't you know what to look for assuming it really matters.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the isocell. I owned both and they take some of the best photos I have seen from a smartphone. I recently tried multiple DSLR's and could not justify keeping any on them after comparing hundreds of photos. This is just one of many I have. There is no need to get bummed out because you don't have the Sony, it's pretty much a ego thing the way I see it. I am speaking of my former thoughts on the different sensors before the ego thing gets misinterpreted. Take a look and be happy....

Eh looking at the picture comaprisons I can't really see that big of a difference. I guess it's just knowing that Samsung pulled a bait and switch move is what pisses me off.

Keep in mind the photos I linked are the Canon Rebel Sl1 and the S6.

Here is another way to check what sensor you have without installing a EXIF viewer. Upload the pic to your computer, right click it, click on properties and then the detail tab. It will be under image ID.

OIS & Hand Held Pictures

I'm not too sure how this is supposed to work. I can get my camera to take some really sharp shots IF I hold my hands extremely steady - usually resting on something. Otherwise, the pictures are simply not as crisp. Isn't OIS supposed to help with this?... is it possible my OIS isn't working properly, or is it just a fact of having to be perfectly still for a perfect shot regardless? And my hands aren't "shaky" by any means.
I have shaky hands and am yet to take a crap photo with my N5, so I assume the OIS is working as intended.
Either that or knowing that the phone has OIS is a placebo cure for my unsteadiness
My pictures come out great!

You're not alone. The vast majority of N5 owners have noticed the ridiculously long shutter speeds. Action shots are almost impossible with this phone, but it will take excellent photos with lots of background light.
Maybe I'm spoiled coming from a Galaxy device but Samsung's shutter speeds are instantaneous.

New defective Samsung S6

Hello, Guys just unboxed my new sim free Galaxy s6 purchased from Samsung UK online first thing I noticed was missing silver paint around the back camera ring.
Anyone use Samsung RMA how long does it take for a replacement device. thanks

Pictures below
To be honest, I cannot see anything faulty with the camera's edge paint. It is supposed to be silver only at the top, whereas on the sides it should be the phone's color, which is the case with you. Maybe a better quality picture would show the problem more clearly, but as far as this photo is concerned I really do not see any problems.

New device delivered to me this morning couple dead pixels great this device getting sent back to Samsung I going to reguest a full refund the QC on these devices are so poor going to wait till end of June to purchase one instead not going to play the exchange lottery.

Severe lens flare on camera - prob. hardware related

On my small Pixel (black 128GB edition) I get severe lens flares in situations, that were never a problem for any smartphone before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfz8YmHmeJ4 The video here illustrates the issue pretty well, several very well known people on YouTube + Twitter have encountered the exact same problem, including @MKBHD, @DetroitBORG and @superscientific !
I'd like to know if there are devices out there that don't have this problem. You won't see it in all lighting situations, but it's very pronounced in some - where it shouldn't be.
I have.noticed this today on my camera I attached a photo the halo or flair can be seen at the bottom the pale grey around the bottom left and right. Like you say, it's only in certain light conditions and certain angles. Must be the glass that surrounds the lense.
Looks like the the phone has been rushed out and not tested properly.
Two more photos
This is definitely a design floor as happens if the camera is on its sides, upside down and normal. Really didn't expect this from such a highly priced phone.
Some more photos from me:
I'm talking to support via the built in support. I'll let you know what they say.
I'm taking mine back to the carrier store in an hour. No way I'm going to accept this.
This is happening to me as well. Definitely a deal breaker, unless covering the glass with a case fixes the problem. It's a shame, because the camera blows everything else out of the water.
Been in contact with EE and they have said my handset is defective so they are sending me a new one tomorrow. Excellend support from them, Thought it would have been a pain in the arse

Well be prepared for disappointment. My phone has it too. I guarantee every Pixel does. Probably because of the subtle curve on the rear glass.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath, but the guy who done the video in the first post had two pixels and only one of them done.this. I'll just keep returning them until I get one that works
Google said they didn't know about this but they have forwarded the link to this thread and the YouTube video so they can investigate further.

Do you really believe they are going to eliminate the halo with that approach?
No way. It's a design flaw. The question is how does that digital picture site
give this phone such a high rating and they never saw this in any of their pictures?
This just doesn't add up. I am awaiting the XL to come back in stock to order
but this is a deal breaker for me unless this is a defect on a few phones.

DxOMark actually did mention the lens flare/halo if you read the entire review... they just call it something more technical.
Yes, I fully believe they will be able to correct for this issue, at least SOMEWHAT, in software. I think the question will be whether or not they can actually preserve detail in the area where the flare is occurring. Google has pulled off some amazing feats with this camera just because of its software... they're not going to claim to do something they can't do.

According to Google, yes. The lens assembly is subject to very tight manufacturing tolerances. Every Pixel is going to have this issue.
Got my new phone, and as stated above I still have the flair so I'm really.imterested into what Google can actually do. I'm off to the park with my dog layer so I'll take lots of photos and upload them here if they have any flare issues.
Don't accept this. Take it back to your point of sale. Get another phone. I am so ****ing done with this.
"We completely, retardedly screwed the entire design of our phone and will now make you use a certain camera mode to mitigate (not resolve) the issue in software"
None of you should accept this.
Out of maybe 100 photos I have taken with this phone, you can maybe see it in like 3-4 photos. Only really happens on my end if I am shooting directly into a light source which most photos are pointing away from a light source. It's not like every photo comes out like this.
I am very very happy with this phone and the camera.

Just been to the park and took some photos only one photo out of about 50 had a halo. I believe Google will fix this.
I've added some of the photos i took today.

Is the camera worth it?

I really love the Oneplus 6, top to bottom, don't care the missing of the stereo speaker or the notch (cause OOS seem to deal with it quite good)
The only issue keeps me from buying it is the camera. I have seen a lot of reviews and comments about the camera and they are pretty mixed which confused me.
I need the phone to last for about 3 years or so and I mainly use it when I travel and to takes photos. I heard that there are updates that fix things but still read that there are issues.
Can you guys give me your own opinion about the camera and if I should go for it or move to the Galaxy S8 plus?
P/s: quite sure that I will try to use Gcam instead on both phone, have it on my old phone and it absolutely surprised me cuz the image came out quite nice for such an old phone.
Not a fan of any brands (except Iphone which I don't really like, but I do like Ipad and I don't hate Apple by any means) so if you have other recommendation under $500 then feels free to say, so far I only see these 2 are the best for what my budget can buy.
Thank you for your helps.
It's right there with the best cameras. It beats then in certain shots and they beat it on certain shots in the comparison tests. I still think it might be a hair behind the likes of the s9, pixel 2xl and I think it's better then the iPhone overall. It's close in low light to them, as good if not better in good light and it handled the bright areas better then dinner of this phones in not blowing out the highlights.
I have zero complaints and I'm an enthusiast photographer. Unless I'm doing a wedding or something really important, I have no issues using this camera. It more then does the job. Of course you can get a shot it doesn't handle well, but every PHONE is the same way. None will replace a dslr
The camera is mint works amazing!

Wow glad to hear from a photographer, I would definitely pick OP 6 if I don't mind the camera as I used to, but planned to go on multiple vacations with it and personally loves to take scenery photos so your reply helps a bunch.
Gonna take another look and get the OP 6. My friend has a deal for it with about 100$ off
No, it's not worth it. Theres bad oil painting effect in low light. Pics are very hit and miss, some are great, some are awful and now I have dust under the lens and I have a black spot I can't get rid of on photos. I certainly couldn't recommend it.

Its not bad. On my recent trip to Canada and USA, I packed my Nikon 850. I took over 1200 pictures during my 2 weeks vacation. I might have used my Nikon for less than 75 shots. Convenience of phone camera outweighs the hassle of lugging a complete system. Unless you are taking pictures for a luving, this phone camera will be more than suffice to satisfy your shutterbug needs.
I strongly believe that it's not the camera but eye behind the camera that make or break the picture. If you are little dissatisfied with extremely low light shots, you can enhance in post production. Make sure to keep HDR option on. I had S8+ abd my wife still has S9 and I can tell you from a bormal viewing distance, you could not tell the difference apart. Remember, you can always switch to pro camera mode for better control. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I do really understand why you bring the links here but seriously I read all of those (except the video one since I'm not fond of that anyway, have like 1 or 2 videos taken with my 2.5 years old phone) and it's really confusing, some said good some said bad (and they do have evidence)
I check on xda (which tbh my trusty place to find user experience) and they are mixed.
I check on youtube with those reviewers I think that are not bs, and it's still mixed.
I check all those reviews on the internet and other forums, and it's still mixed.
I don't usually do these Q&A on XDA (this actually my first) because this is just too hard to decide this time.
Thanks you for your help but it yet solve my confusions.

That's interesting, I use it for my vacations and I love to take scenery shots (and probally a few shot with my friends or selfies but only a little as I don't like to take photos of myself or person in general)
I'm still yet decided if I stick with Samsung software or move to a custom rom since they both have pros and cons (and somehow I find the S8 forum is not really active?)
but I totally love the experience that I saw on the OP 6 so far.
If you have either of the phone or both, I would really love to hear more of your opinion, thank you.

I am not sure who and why they are saying about the dust issues. Absolutely no dust issues here. Previously posted shots are the proof. You would have noticed diffraction if there was any dust. To put your mind at ease, spend $2 and buy tempered glass lens protector on Amazon, eBay, or Aliexpress. I dont even use cover or screen protector for my phone (never have used for the last 15 years or so). Rather than worrying about protecting, enjoy by actually using the gadget-my two cents worth advice.

Blury note 20 ultra photos??

My phone is 3 days old… im noticing blury pictures mostly in backround.* Some with dead on images.* Seems like its not focusing.* Took a picture of my truck amd sent it to my email where i first noticed it on the computer.* Was 108mp picture and the backround looked blury or washed out.* *I also tried my sisters fresh out the box note 20 ultra and same issue.*I was setting her phone up. S10 plus didnt have the issue of same photos.* Used sisterd old phone to compare. 1 picture.
I'm blown away with the camera. I never really care, not really much of a picture taker, but a few I've taken so far are quite impressive.

I am having the same issue as well. I have noticed that the camera blurs the back and even some parts that it is trying to focus on. I might just contact Samsung and see what is up, but you ain't alone here.
I'm on my 6th Note (the 9 & 10+ are with family members for comparison) and I'm having blurry photo issues too, getting worried.
Also the battery life is nothing short of crap... hoping it's still learning.
Not happy so far.
In the last 2 months I've had an Oppo Find X2 Pro and then a Huawei P40 Pro + and the cameras on both were better

I thought it was just me or my phone. You can see the image i took of my sisters s10 plus with her gallery showing with my note 20 ultra. Its very badly blurred or washed out. So i took my sisters fresh out the box note 20 ultra which i was setting up for her and it had the same exact results. I made sure the camera settings was the same on both to compare pictures. Then i pulled up my gallery on my note 20 ultra… and took a picture with the s10 plus. It was a world of difference. There was no blury or washed out colors or words. I asked my girlfriend who also just got the note 20 ultra if she noticed anything blury with her phone and she replied yes and sent me a picyure she took of her daughter eating. The backround was very blury or again washed out with color. I confirmed issues with 3 people that i know personally that have the note 20 ultra.
I cantacted samsung thru Samaung Members chat. I got the typical replies that will all result in a hard reset. Im not trying to do that after i just took an entire day setting up my phone to yield the same results that im getting on 3 different phones. Im afraid unless many more people start seeing this ill have to get another note 20 ultra and fear itll be the same.

Not happy so far.
In the last 2 months I've had an Oppo Find X2 Pro and then a Huawei P40 Pro + and the cameras on both were better

Ive been in the note and galaxy family since the s3. I am seeing little hiccuos here and there with the phone. My battety life has been pretty good tho. I see a almost like a glitch every now and then here and there. Cant explain it. Im sure that in time will be fixed with updates. The other thing that is driving me crazy is i use Single tap to swipe feature which allows you to answer the phone by tapping the answer button rather then swiping. But when i activate it… .it brings up a perminant accessories menu on your screen that floats on any screen your seeing. With my old s10 plus it did this to but you can comoletly remove the menu and hid it. On the note 20 ultra you cant. There is an option to hide it on the edge panel but it still gets in the way and i accidentally touch it and i see it on all my screens.
Fix from Samsung
I spoke with Samsung and they said I can file a warranty claim, free of charge, and some expert will take a look at the issue. You can take it locally or have it shipped out.
I will wait and see what fixes arise, if nothing shows up in a month then I will get it sent to Samsung.
Aren't the backgrounds supposed to naturally blur a bit? I remember reviews talking about the "natural bokeh" effect.
Hey I have the same issue. It blurs the surrounding focus. I also checked my s10 and did not have the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? Its weird bc this is supposed to be the best camera out there.

I hope not..it ruins the picture in my opinion. But again even the picture i took with no backround is bad and blurry.

Yeah, I am having the same issue as well. I don't mind it that much right now since I do not take a lot of pictures or videos, but I do want it fixed soon.
The background blur is because of the sensor size.
If the thing you want to be in focus, is in focus, everything should be ok.
