There were comparisons posted on XDA S6 Camera Thread, it turns out Sony exceeds but not really that much of difference.

How can us Verizon folk determine what we have? The fancy dial code doesn't work for us.

Has it been determined if this is completely random or if certain carrier or region phones have the different lenses?

Most of us would never have even noticed or cared but now that it's been pointed out it is a mental thing.

BUMPED any verizon methods out there or work around for finding out which sensor we have ? Our dial code service mode doesn't work.

I really want to know which sensor I have. I slightly feel lied too. I've seen the pictures on xda and there's definitely a difference. I'm just curious which sensor I have.

I'd also like to know if there's a way to determine which sensor Verizon phones have. As already stated the fancy dial code does nothing on our phones.

Here is an article explaining the difference between the 2..with pics

Here’s the difference between Samsung and Sony camera sensors on the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge - SamMobile

I'm amused and annoyed at the growing concern over this. Such a modest difference and the comparisons done are so far from scientific that I'm laughing at anyone worried about which sensor they have. An accurate assessment would at least require multiple devices, not just one of each, and done under the exact same conditions. Even if there is more than one article about this, one person doing a "test" and another one doing the same does not constitute a reliable comparison worthy of outrage.

We have bigger problems to worry about, humans.

From the XDA thread:
----------------------------------
I don't think it's just the kernel, because my software says LL instead of LS as well. By the way, whether the photo is LS or LL shows up in the EXIF data as well under image ID.

For example, I had a couple of Galaxy S6s (which I kept replacing due to screen issues). The ones with the Sony sensor takes better images, unfortunately. Or perhaps it's just placebo. I dunno.

Image ID on the Sony: A16LSIA00VM
Image ID on the ISOCELL: A16LLIC08VM
-------------------------------------

My phone Exif data lists the LS, which means I have the Sony. Verizon S6 received on the 10th.

There are photo apps that will give you the info. Or, if you search the web, there are sites that you can upload your pics to that will give you the info.

Found one right before I read this. Thanks. Mine is LS. Which I guess means Sony.

Looked at the exif info and I have the LS, which is the Sony sensor. Got the phone on 4-10.
