Different camera sensors? Isocell vs imx240?

All is about S6 Camera sensor having two different sensor. Does it affect S6 Edge as well? Those with S6 Edge can check and report back, thanks!
Samsung:
ISO 100
ISO 200
ISO 400
ISO 1000
Anyway, I realise you guys forgot one factor: manufacturing date. If I'm not wrong more of those S6s manufactured from mid April onwards have the "Samsung" sensor. My first 3 units had a Sony sensor.

Do you have ISO 1000 or was it a mistake? I have a SONY IMX240 and my max ISO is 800 (AUTO, 100, 200, 400, 800)
On Auto it goes up to 1,250 and even beyond (the highest I've seen is 1,250, after that it seems to be blank in the EXIF).
Here's some other shots:
ISO 640 (Auto):
ISO 1,250 (Auto):
Unknown (High?) ISO (Auto):
Oh ok! And my phone's manufacturing date is 13-03-2015. I have a SONY IMX240.
Apart from this debate, at the back of my phone it says Yateley UK, Made by Samsung, Where as in the Phone Info App it says Made in VIETNAM.
Do you guys have similar experience?

Isocell. 920F - Slovenian market. Made in vietnam.
I have been noticing low light pictures MIGHT not be as good as you might be led to believe. Outdoor in good light excellent though, not much to say there.
I have checked mine ID on the pictures and it seems i have a sony sensor, SLOVENIAN market
the first batch that was available on 17th...mine is white 32gb...do you have a LED always on issue (only visible in complete dark room)?Mine is from 06-03-2015 with IMX240 and here is the back of the phone:

I'm from SamMobile I'll be taking Pictures tonight with both cameras and post a comparison tomorrow..11http://www.sammobile.com/2015/05/05...-camera-sensors-on-the-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge/
Our comparison is live, shot from the tripod..9I'm very happy with the ISOCELL sensor. See my results!

Mill Lake S6 Edge by Karl, on Flickr8I can't believe this thread. I understand it's XDA, but some people take it too far - the casual crowd comes and wants to replace a phone because it has Isocell? Really?
I have two Galaxy S6 phones, one for private use, and one edge for work. I have Isocell in my private phone, Sony in my work phone.
When I received my private phone first I was amazed at the photo quality, coming from the S4 I couldn't believe at how far the mobile photography went. No matter what I want to photograph, comes out really great, and the low-light shots? You gotta be kidding me at how technology progressed within just 2 years and what Samsung has done in such relatively small unit.
Before getting the phone I saw the comparisons of sensors and couldn't help but notice slightly more pleasant colors on the Sony sensor, so when I checked that my private unit had Isocell I thought, oh well, almost equal but maybe it would be nice to have the Sony one for more vibrancy. And that was before the firmware updates when there were visible color reproduction differences between units!
I still absolutely loved the camera, and I can't understand how such minimal thing can change someone's attitute towards the camera and make it not appreciate what it is - which is still the best smartphone camera package (maybe except Nokia 1020), no matter if with Samsung or Sony sensor.
The difference between device optics vary between devices more than those equally speccd sensors, the difference between battery capacity and sillicon quality vary more between devices, the screen quality and uniformity varies far more from unit to unit, even though Samsung is awesome in consistency of using the same Amoled panel per line of devices. How would you be bummed out by having an Isocell sensor? REALLY? Why would you let something mostly imaginary ruin the experience with such amazing camera?8
By a hair's breadth but you are right, the IMX looks a bit better.
EDIT: Just made this in order to easily appreciate the differences.
