Samsung did not pay much attention to the camera of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at their unveiling earlier this week. On paper, the rear 12MP shooter of the Galaxy S8 looks largely the same as the one found on the Galaxy S7, with only the front camera receiving a complete revamp.

Now, as SamMobile reports, Samsung will be using a newer camera sensor on the Galaxy S8 and S8+ that will be sourced from two different vendors. These two sensors are Sony’s IMX333 and Samsung’s own System LSI subsidiary supplying the S5K2L2 ISOCELL sensor. Both these sensors are 1/2.55-inch big and feature a 12.2MP resolution with Dual Pixel autofocus, OIS, 1.4um pixels, and a f/1.7 aperture.

Samsung is known to source camera sensors from multiple vendors in the past, and it’s unlikely that there is going to be much of a performance difference between the two sensors here.

Even the front 8MP sensor is being sourced from two different vendors, with Sony supplying its IMX320 sensor while System LSI supplying S5K3H1 sensor. Again, both sensors are identical and feature an 8MP resolution with autofocus and 4K video recording capabilities.

The upgraded camera sensor should mean that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will perform better than the S7 and S7 edge in similar situations. While the difference is not going to be earth-shattering, we should still see the newer sensor perform better in terms of resolving details and dynamic range.
