Which camera sensor part? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

To my knowledge, this phone uses a Samsung ISOCELL sensor with 1.34um pixels, at 13MP, but I haven't been able to find the specific part number. Anyone with this phone can help me find this? Thanks!
Try using AIDA64, which is the easiest way.

Though I also heard it was made by Samsung, there is a teardown here. You can clearly see O-FILM is printed on the flex cable. That's one of the noname brands inside Chinese phones, which do not have Sony or Samsung. Last time I encountered O-FILM was when I replaced an out-of-focus camera in Redmi 2.

In a review I've seen it was noted as Samsung s5k2m8

I check my ZUK Z2 with DevCheck, sensor size 5.19x3.67mm, Pixel sieze 1.18μm.
I guess that mean ZUK Z2 come with a different sensor to ZUK Z2 Pro

My Z2 Plus has a Samsung S5K2M8 rear and OmniVision's OV8865 front sensor.

S5K2M8 4208 x 3120
13MP 6.828mm
(1/2.6")
1.34 μm ISOCELL ZUK Z2 (Lenovo Z2 Plus)
I checked now with devcheck and i see 13 mpx camera with 1.18 qm pixel size which is different than advertised... Hmmm, chinese....
Ok i checked now with device info hw app
ov8865 front
s5k2m8sx back camera
So it is Samsung after all

New camera lens for Moto Z Play

I have seen the Snapdragon 625 processor in Moto Z play also supports Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, the Quick Charge 3.0 technology for fast charging, Full HD screens, up to 24MP cameras and 4K video recording.
Is it possible to replace the currently installed 16MP camera is based on Omni Vision's OV16860 PureCel Plus-S sensor with 19MP Sony's IMX400 Super Slomotion Sensor ?
I don't think anyone here deals with hardware but I could be wrong.
Damn if we can swap cameras on the MZP I'd probably never upgrade it until the MZP breaks.

Me too... I want the same phone to be upgraded by replacing the components except the Super AMOLED Display, Snapdragon 625 Processor and the Long lasting 3510 MAh battery.

Amen! I mean the Moto X4 is out... but I'm going to wait for the oneplus 5T. As much as I like my MZP the camera is just... bleh.
The default camera is ok.
I used the Hasselblad Moto Mod Camera to zoom about 3.5 x optical and have configured with the professional mode to adapt the suroundings. The result is quite satisfactory and not bad at all.

I saw reviews saying the phone camera takes better stills than the Hasselblad camera mod and that the pics are soft from the moto mod....what is your experience?

what's the sensor of principa camera

Hi all,
I read everywhere that the phablet has a 12 MP primary sensor with f/2.2 lens and a secondary 5 MP with f/2.0 aperture for background blurring.
But what brand and model is it?
Could it be compatible to the pixel camera software as is that of the note 4?
thanks.
12MP Camera from Sony sensor
5MP camera from Samsung sensor
20MP front camera from Sony sensor
sensors dont that much when it comes to image quality in phone cameras. Its the software optimization that is more important. You could make the note 5 pro camera much better if say google developed the camera software for it like the pixel. Just the spec or sensor vendor does not indicate image quality,

I agree. in fact I was looking for information about the camera model to do targeted searches such as "camera model + pixel camera".
since someone has succeeded in modifying the camera driver of the note 4, I hope they succeed even for the 5 camera
EDIT: however, it would seem that the pixel camera driver are more related to the type of CPU rather than to the camera.

to be precise they would seem:
rear: Sony IMX486 - 12 mpx - f/2.2 - pixel 1.25 µm + Samsung – 5 mpx – f/2.0 – pixel 1.12 µm
front: Sony IMX376 – 20 mpx – f/2.2

Redmi Note 5 Global vs Redmi note 5 pro

What's the basic difference between these two apart from band support.
The indian version uses Sony sensors (the sames from the Mi A2 and Redmi note 6 Pro)
The rear may actually be worse as the Sony sensor is smaller, but the front 20 MP (5, it's pixel binned) is better than the omnivision one
And even that doesn't matter much cuz you can buy the sensor replacements on AliExpress
That's it, hope i helped

Please elaborate on this matter!
I'm interested in switching to a better sensor for my Redmi Note 8T. Not happy with samsung sg1 sensor. Other version of the same phone have Sony sensors on board and some newer board versions a baetter samsung sensor, sg2.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but there are no variations of the redmi note 8(or t), they all use the same sgm1 and the 13MP omnivision as the front sensor
Hardware mod on the redmi note 5 is only possible because all the variations use the same board, only with different sensors so they all use the same connectors and software
TLDR, this is not how it works :/
I disagree with you as I discussed with a user which have a Sony sensor and his board version is higher than mine, meaning it is newer. He sent me screenshots.

Question Camera sensor replace!?!?!?!?

If i buy a diferent sensor can i replace it and will it funcion normaly? Or would need some custom firmware?
Buying a different camera sensor will not work. First of all the contacts to attach it to the daughter board will be different. Secondly it probably won't fit in the cameras space and so would rattle. Thirdly the firmware wouldn't understand the output of the sensor. Sorry
if only android worked as proper os with modular drivers or should i say it's Qualcomm fault.... as far as my testing i think sensors on poco f3 are not bad at all it's the software that counts these days, if you can tweak gcam you can get good results in color reproduction and dynamic range and video quality as well, keep in mind that all phone camera systems have limitations and the best bet is getting a cheap used compact camera like lumix lx10 or sony rx100 or canon g7x.

Someone tried a IMX686 (or IMX 682) from a K40 Pro in the standard K40(actually vice versa but the point still stands) and it will not work. If you can read chinese then watch this video. Basically the camera module can fit in the connector and can fit in the frame but it will not work both in standard and 48MP mode as the driver is missing.

Nah the sensor is objectively awful, especially in low light conditions. My 3 year old MI 8 has a better sensor.

For me the sensor is like lightyears ahead of my old phone, that thing can't even take a low light photo without blur in 80% of scenarios. Probably because my standards are set so low that this sensor is amazing to me.

imx363 is a very good sensor even if it's lacking pixel banding but what make the difference is the lenses, tbh they used a higher quality one in mi8 compared to f3, also the lack of ois on f3 affects low light quality

Question Fold 4 ultrawide video at 60 fps

Is there any work to provide 60 fps support for the ultrawide camera? some xda god is working on it?

unfortunately that crap sensor from 2015 does not even support 1080p 60fps, I don't understand why they use that crap instead of going for newer sensor that can do that, the regular S22 supports it.
U think that the problem is an hardware limitation or there is a way to solve it via software or by a samsung update firmware?

hardware ofc, why else would they limit it to 30 fps?
It is not sure, my old note 20 ultra come with an 30fps ultrawide recording camera, after some time, a fjrmware update bringh me th 60 fps ultrawide recording option. I hope samsung can do the same think with my fold 4

that ultra wide is the same introduced with S20, bigger, better and newer, same one as S22, it does support 60fps but Flip and Fold keeps getting the ancient CRAP sensor.
I think that it will be enabled via firm/software update. We saw that in the N20 series and, the UW câmera can record 4K30 so it is able to deal with the data of 2K60 (roughly the same bandwidth)... Maybe the problem is lack of time to sync and adjust frame pacing...

I don't know how much clearer I can be, this is the same UW camera used in first Flip, Flip/Fold3 and they haven't got any update to 60fps as the camera sensor don't support it, otherwise it should have been there from day one, S22 does support it because of better sensor.

According AndroidCentral`s review, It's a newer sensor as published here: https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/heres-how-much-better-the-galaxy-z-fold-4-cameras-are
"The Ultra-wide sensor and cover camera sensors are the same resolutions but are newer sensors than what's in the Fold 3."
If you have another source, a maybe a teardown, we can ask for a correction on AndroidCentral article...
According SamMobile (https://www.sammobile.com/news/sams...as-a-mixed-bag-of-new-and-old-camera-sensors/) the Ultrawide sensor is a Sony IMX258 and the datasheet indicates 1080p60 support (https://www.electronicspecifier.com/attachment/view/59aeb13e5a8ec97c2c8b4570/Sony IMX258 Datasheet)
And also SamMobile thinks there is a chance of Fold 4 receives a uppdate to shoot UW at 60Fps: https://www.sammobile.com/news/sams...ort-4k-60-fps-ultra-wide-video-recording-yet/

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 review

m.gsmarena.com
For the ultrawide, our Fold reports the Sony IMX 258 - a fairly ancient imager with a 1/3.06" optical format and 1.12µm pixels. Its native resolution is 13MP, but Samsung lists it at 12MP, and that's the size of images it outputs. While the sensor itself has AF capability, the camera as a package doesn't support it. The lens covers a 123-degree field of view, as per Samsung's specs, and has an f/2.2 aperture. That's the Fold3's contribution to the rear setup, while the S22 uses a nicer 1/2.55" sensor with 1.4µm pixels.

I don't know but it's still a crap sensor that is being used, I could record 60fps with S20, S21, S21 Ultra and S22 with the UW camera, so no way the Fold is getting any software update that enables it.
