    JordanBaby, 27 Mar 2017Borrowing tech for an inferior overrated and overpriced handset?Inferior to what? You can say it is overpriced, but each time the S series perform best, have the best cameras, audio and amongst the best battery lives. The S8 looks expensive, but there's no doubt it's going to be technically better than any other phone when it launches.

      Anonymous, 27 Mar 2017Only IMX 333, Mi6 400 and Mi6+ 362. Lol Samsung go home.LOL, that's just model number the Galaxy S6 with IMX240, Galaxy S7 with IMX260 and Galaxy S5 with full ISOCELL sensor beat every pathetic Xiaomi's camera quality.
      Samsung always got exclusive sensor because Samsung is designing the sensor and Sony manufacture it, just like Qualcomm with their Snapdragon.

The standard is a Sony IMX sensor, and the telephoto zoom lens is the Samsung ISOCELL sensor. Guess what, shooting in relatively low light scenarios, the Sony sensor produced a sharper photo

                AnonD-645188, 27 Mar 2017Hope it's a 1/2.3 sensor.Me too brother. There HAS to have camera upgrade to easily surpass the Pixel's prowess. Otherwise, I'd rather have an S7 edge. Ain't no point in having a weird aspect screen anyway.

                      Seems that you were able to hoard away Sd 835 from LG, but you can't do the same with SONY or he nails you with it's sensors,or you could end up not having a camera after all

                              Same 88 points of S7.

                              BTW, the use 8mp too, not 23mp.

                              When I use 20mp, is way better than 8mp

                                Doesn't matter. We won't get Snap835, Sony sensors, 6Gb of ram anyway.

                                  Well these are just rumours will wait and see I know the s7 edge has IMX260 is I'm right. But as long as it's better then the lousy 1/3 found in the G6 lol
