Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Uses Sony IMX240 Camera Sensor

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Uses Sony IMX240 Camera Sensor

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 uses Sony IMX240 camera sensor confirmed by Teardown.

A recent teardown of the phone confirms that Samsung has in fact gone with a Sony IMX240 camera sensor in their most recent flagship phablet. Samsung hasnt exactly been shy about its journey to ISOCELL camera technology, especially seeing first iteration in Galaxy S5.

If we had to take a guess as to why, we have a feeling OIS support has a big part to play in this change. The Galaxy Note 4 indeed comes with the 16-megapixel Sony IMX240, confirmed by names of components in a teardown of the phablet.

And while the phablet features a fairly fast auto-focus, Samsung does not mention any details about phase-detection pixels on this new sensor. The IMX240 is a 1/2.6 sensor, nearly 15% larger than the average 1/3″ sensor used in top-shelf smartphones. This works out to pixel size of the rather small 1.1 microns.
