Samsung Galaxy S9 camera sensor

[gabriellovesmusic]

So I went to Samsung store today, tried to find out the camera sensor and my country(Singapore) got a Samsung sensor. Wonder if it's a mix of both Sony and Samsung sensors like they've been for years or all Samsung this time around. Has anyone seen S9s/S9+s with Sony for their country?

Yea.. I Googled it, but no mention on any Sony sensors on S9/S9+. Hmm...

Exynos = Samsung sensor. Snapdragon = Sony sensor. This is a given.
The questions are which models of sensors are they? and whether they are upgraded or 2017 ones?

On my Exynos S8+ it's S5K2L2, while in the case of the S9 Exynos variant, it's SAK2L3. So yea.. it's an upgraded sensor. While front facing camera *seems* to be the same one as one on S8.

All versions of the S9, S9+ should be using the 3-stack ISOCELL Fast 2L3 image sensor with an integrated DRAM to be able to perform the touted Super Slow Mo feature.

If this is the case, I guess in a way, a good thing then. To keep consistency. As I remember Samsung was using either ISOCELL and Sony IMX240 on the S6 regardless of chipset or region and quality were superior on one over the other.
