                BigMillions, 01 Apr 2017ISOCELLs are usually a bit brighter than IMX Sensors. Actually not bright specially in video kinda looks dim. I have this issue on my S7 edge and after try out the S8 noticed that still there, but good news Samsung fixed the white balance on S8 camera no more yellowish tinge like S7 edge camera at low light.

                    Hank, 03 Apr 2017Hey samsung are you forced to make the camera square ? Why ... moreActually, yes I would guess they are limited to a square camera. This is because the camera module is always going to be square and since the device is thin, the module cant fit inside the chasis hence the sticky outy camera!

                        to make it short it is old thing that samsung used to do they always use 2 sensors sony and samsung and the spec of both are same and also samsung utlize sony sensors better than sony (s4,s5,s6,s7) .and u will not notice any deference dont make it a big deal .

                          Hey samsung are you forced to make the camera square ? Why is the fingerprint scanner rectangular ? I just dont understand why didn't you place the fingerprint scaner under the camera ? Why didn't you make a round fingerprint scaner like every other phone and place it under a round camera lense like every other phone that all of them are more beautiful than s8 ? I am sure that note 8 will be like s8 and we will leave samsung

                                would be nice if they just used the latest Sony IMX400 series on their ''flagship'' phone instead of reusing all those note7 sensors on it...

I own 3 samsung phones at this time but, never had an xperia one, but i had many photo cameras, gues what .... samsung ones were always pale compared to Sony. Think about it, if they were better, they would still be in the business, but they don't !

                                        So like before, Sony sensors goes to reviewers, Isocell sensors goes to customers.On my SGS6 Isocell might be isn't bad if not resolution. It's obviously have lower than Sony sensor resolution interpolated to 12 mp. So pictures are blurry a bit.

                                        Ho GSMArena will test both, so customers won't be fooled.
