This is a list of Samsung's CMOS camera sensors, available for purchase by other companies, for a wide variety of products including mobile phones, computers, digital cameras and more.

These sensors use one of the following technologies:

  • FSI: frontside-illuminated. The light that reaches the photosensitive area is reduced because it needs to pass through multiple metal and dielectric layers.
  • BSI: backside-illuminated. The light reaches the photosensitive area directly.
  • ISOCELL: ISOCELL is the more advanced technology which provides increased light sensitivity and higher color fidelity even in poor lighting conditions.

    • 1: The Galaxy S7 family utilizes either one of two sensors: the Samsung S5K2L1 or the Sony IMX260. They are regarded as nearly identical sensors.

    2: The Galaxy S6 family and Note 5 utilizes either one of two sensors: the Samsung S5K2P2 or the Sony IMX240. They are regarded as nearly identical sensors.

    3: The Xiaomi Mi 4c utilizes either one of two sensors: the Samsung S5K3M2 or the Sony IMX258. They are similar sensors, but the IMX258 is a newer unit.
