AnonD-523433, 19 Apr 2016I believe my 808 pureview has a bigger sensor. And with car... moreToo bad the technology use to build the sensor is old as 1st gen exmor r . The 808 is now mid range st most .

Good to see,but to be frank sony makes good sensors
Sony develops outstanding camera sensors only drawback is they dont have OIS

so it realizes smaller pixel count 12m was a wrong move. now pick up the upgrade momentum again and move forward to 18m or more
no other makers have caught up the f1.7 yet. it moves further to f1.4 will solidfy samsung's leading position in cameras arena
eager to have and try this new cam

Sensor size is good. But I think the f stop is getting a bit out of hand. The f1.7 S7 already has some problem with rendering street lights on low light shots, because of the f stop. And the recommended f stop for focusing on your subjects at a close distance is f1.8

Great news, if it turns out to be true. Would love a larger sensor with bigger pixels. They need at least 2um pixel area.

I believe my 808 pureview has a bigger sensor. And with carl ziess optics, the pureview did a great job (except for the dynamic range in auto perhaps).
Samsung should bring them onboard.

AnonD-234961, 19 Apr 20161/1.7" is a great sensor size. The Panasonic LX3, LX5 were ... moreThe suggestion that a 12Mp sensor will produce a better image than 18Mp at the same sensor size and with the same characteristics is rather odd tbh. The only way this could possibly happen is if the image processing has to be compromised because the hardware cannot cope with the extra data produced. However this is doubtful in a modern smartphone

My Fujifilm Finepix F30 was the best among compacts for night shots in its time 10 years ago. I still have it and use it. Its sensor is 1/1.7".

Levy, 19 Apr 2016The sensor doesn't have an aperture, the lens does. The camera modules used in mobile have fixed lens and sensor setup.

Levy, 19 Apr 2016The sensor doesn't have an aperture, the lens does. The aperture will only control light that can be done varying shutter speeds ..... as far as dof is concerned yeah that will be fixed
