26 February 2018
The ability to quickly read out the sensor data is used to enhance photos - both in very bright and very dark conditions.

          Sony is finished. Sony probably spent tons of research on their 3 stack sensor, but samsung has copied, and mass produced it in mere months. Samsung can make their sensor waay cheaper, because they also make the DRAM themselves, which means the sensors can be made in one production cycle. Meanwhile, sony has to have their DRAM shipped from Micron. Samsung has stated that they will sell their new isocell sensors to china, and has stopped buying sony sensors. Sony can do nothing but watch as Samsung's next sensor surpasses Sony's capabilities.

                    Any of you never thought that the reason the sensor is different is not to "avoid patents" but because... the sensor is different? Developed by different people?

                      Anonymous, 26 Feb 2018Sony does not sell their main sensors like imx300 and imx40... moreAnd Sony does not sell Samsung exclusively designed sensor IMX 240 (S6) 260 (S7) 333 (S8), to the other manufactures except Samsung itself.
                      And please give me some reason why Samsung want to copy IMX300 and 400.

                        This sensor needs deeper pixels like the iPhone X and 8 sensors. Until then, it cannot compete with Apple's smartphones.

                          Anonymous, 26 Feb 2018Both are 3 layer sensor.. We mock the fact Samsung copi... moreDid you really think Samsung didn't bring the new stuff?
                          How about
                          Hybrid AF from the Galaxy S5
                          Tracking Autofocus from the Galaxy S6
                          Dual Pixel AF from the Galaxy S7
                          Galaxy S6 was the first phone with UFS
                          Fast Wireless charging
                          Multi windows app
                          If there is no Galaxy Note do you think big screen phone will be the norm?
                          Actually there is a lot inovation that Samsung made but i can't explain it all.

                            Copycat... Nothing new on Samsung s9... Guys Sony has now 1080p full hd super slow motion.. And Sony Xperia XZ2 premium is announce very soon... It has dual camera and highest iso for low light.. Even black night... Its beat samsung 1.5 aperture.. Hahahhaha. Lol for Samsung s9... Sony is real world king of technology

We only care about who has the best implementation, be it Sony or Samsung. And I don't even care for slow-motion video. Just use whichever phone you like!

                                    Samsung wanted the 960fps, so they had to copy the sensor.

                                      This thing is a big feature of Sony, but Samsung relentlessly "Ctrl C + Ctrl V" it on their own, with some minor tweaks to not look or sound too obvious that they did it.
                                      The sad part here is that the feature from Sony is only getting the right recognition after Samsung has done it. Worst thing that could possibly be is when people would believe that it was Sony who copied Samsung for this 960fps Slow Motion thing.
