Some Galaxy S6 owners are reporting that there is a difference in the sensor used on some models of the same device. According to a test posted on XDA Forum, a certain model presented the sensor Exmor (IMX240) from Sony, while the other presented the ISOCELL (S5K4E6) manufactured by Samsung itself. Check the test image below.

Sony’s IMX240 sensor reproduced warmer colors, greater sharpness and more depth. Remembering that there are no differences in the model numbering or chipset used by the manufacturer.
So far Samsung has not clarified why there is such a variation in the Galaxy S6 sensors. The situation is similar to Galaxy Note 4, which in its version packed by Exynos has its own sensor, while the version with Snapdragon 805 is equipped with the Sony component. If you have a Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge, and want to see which sensor runs on your device, just type “* 34971539 #.”On the dialer and wait for the information to appear on the screen.
