Not an upgrade, more like a lateral move or slight downgrade. Some S6's are apparently using Samsung's ISOCELL for the rear camera.
I got a white 64GB standard S6, day 1 with Sony rear and Samsung front.

I have sony on rear like the others here - what is the difference for those that have Samsung? is there a major difference? I assume Sony is better?
Difference isn't major at all IMO. ISOCELL was shown to be slightly better (not by much) in low light, and doesn't have that yellowish/orange tint in white balance

From what I have been reading, Sony can't produce enough sensors quick enough! Even the new LG G4 is using an in house sensor but it's supposed to be top notch so we shall see... With all of these newer companies that are bringing out mid tier phones that are under $350 there is a HUGE demand for Sony to produce sensors and they are all using them.
Ordered 128gb gold platinum on April 10th and it has a Samsung isocell rear camera

I really liked the white balance fix they had on the ISOCELL model. I expect them to fix it for all models in the next update, sometimes the White Balance is just so far off.
I actually preferred the Sony in the pics on Sammobile. The ISOCELL model was oversharpened like the Note 4 and S5 do. I prefer the softer more realistic less artifacty Sony pics, but thats just personal preference.
I've got Samsung front and back.
128Gb Black S6
64GB Black S6, ordered March 27th, delivered April 1st. Sony sensor.
Black 64gb S6 920T, has Sony Rear Samsung Front. Purchased tonight in store 5/13/15
I ordered in a T-Mobile store during the double memory promo for a 128 GB platinum gold. I guess I've got Samsung front and rear?

"The tip contains what the author claims are the retail specs of the device Google will be arriving at with the manufacturer of choice - a 5" 1080p display, Snapdragon 600 processor (Snapdragon 800 is going into an eventual Google Nexus 10.2, they iterate), 2 GB of RAM, 8/16 GB of storage, and a 3140 mAh battery."
Have all the previous Nexus devices been announced in the fall time? If so, we still have a while to wait. If Tmo has an up an running hybrid LTE/HSPA+ network by then, that might be nice. However, if the N5 comes with that particular chipset, IT MUST MUST MUST seamlessly, flawlessly, and speedily switch between the two so you would never even know. I seem to remember hearing how the Gnex on verizon would take ages to go back to LTE. Also, is it too much to ask for a native T9 dialer?

Thank goodness they are not switching back to OLED.... but the 8/16gb storage rumor in that article is rather disappointing.
More storage. And Instead of SD card a 32/64 GB models would good coz ib doubt they will put a SD card. That would be good. Full HD display.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Disappointing yes but it may be a factor in keeping the cost low as well as getting the next manufacture to agree to make such a high spec low cost phone without hurting sales of their flagship model (ex: LG with their Optimus G)
I really think that SD cards are left out in nexuses because Google wants to promote cloud but more importantly are left with low storage capabilities on purpose in order to differentiate the phone from the manufacture's flagship. Its all part of the "compromise" between Google and the manufacture.
At the end of the day, I'm lucky enough to have 6GB a month of LTE data so storage space is becoming less and less important. I realize not everyone has data plans though and for those folk, the manufacture is hoping you'll pay more for their flagship that has an SD card slot or 32/64GB of internal storage.

Removable battery and camera at least as good as my Galaxy S3. Switch between my Nexus 4 and S3 and love everything about the Nexus 4 except the camera and the fact that I can't swap out the battery.
On screen buttons also reduce the actual screen size available.
Aluminum build would be nice as well so you don't have to baby the phone so much as I hate having to use a case on such a beautiful phone but am more concerned about cracking the back glass.
If the Nexus 5 has the same camera that's in the G2, It's a bad purchase. The camera in low light, indoors is piss poor to be blunt. I am looking to get out of my G2 for the N5 only if the camera is better.

What's the point with these Nexus when you can buy a Samsung with all of that for that money now a days?
Speed? Unnoticeable. Always the last Android version? Well, the GalaxyNexus won't get KitKat. That's how far the updates go with the Nexus. 2 years.
I'm not buying it. At least until I find a reason.

You either buy a Nexus because you're a developer or because you want dev support. Sure, other devices get some decent ROMs, but Nexus devices always get the latest/greatest ROMs that leverage the newest iteration of the OS.

Where can you buy a brand new Samsung with all of that for $399.99 off contract??
Also the reasons are pretty damn simple, Price to Value its unbeatable, and you get the latest software first.
If price is of no conern there will ALWAYS be better phones.Hell the G2 is debatably a better phone in some aspects. It is only 1mm by 1mm smaller and the G2 has a .2" bigger screen with 800mah more battery.

Audio should be pretty much same across the board as it utilises Qualcomms DAC. Usually volume levels vary. However with Franco or Faux they implement sound boost on their respective kernels. Camera who knows too early to state as well as battery life. Storage is user preference. I've ordered one to test it out if I don't like it I will simply return it under DSR.

Seriously? Have you used a Snapdragon 800? I'm guessing not. The S3 is a slug, and TW was awful on the S3. (Yes I had one).
The speed difference is baffling from an S600 to the s800, just using the phone, let alone if you play mobile games. Battery life is also crazy. Comparing it to the Exynos 4 is just... well it is night and day.
And yes, this is a geek phone as well, with latest software and ROM options being far superior.
Anyway comparing an old MUCH lower specced phone like the S3 to anything modern is silly. You aren't JUST gaining a faster phone, there is a lot of other improved tech. Bigger screen, brighter screen, much higher DPI, BT4, Wireless charging, 802.11ac wifi, better camera features/stabilization, etc...

I really don't notice the difference in the screen between the S3 (720p) and the S4 or any other with 1080p. Some people do, I don't. The camera in the S3 and S4 (which I can find new for 380€) is superb, while the N5 is predictably a bit worse, even with the OIS.
Anyway, no phone is perfect. The sound in S3 and S4 is not so good either, the S4 doesn't have a FM Radio, the screens outdoors are very hard to see... hmm.
So about the camera...I took my kid trick or treating last night...With flash on, i'd hit the shutter button, the flash would come on and it was seriously focus for upwards of 8 secs before it took the pic. It was a crap shoot on whether you could make out the pic or not. Some guy said he's buying a phone, not a camera, but these companies are making phones so nice that a third party camera isn't needed unless you need a DSLR. Therefore, i rely on my phone cam.
Coming from the S4, the G2 camera is horrible at best at night. During the day it's great.
I have a g2 and it's the best smartphone camera I've used yet? Have owed most smartphones...including lumias. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about...piss poor?

the G2 is a great camera in daylight / still photos. I agree with him though personally I find it very poor in dark lighting or moving objects. HTC One was better in those 2 regards, but still day pictures the G2 slaughtered it.

It would be nice. But I doubt it. Why wait an extra month? Why just not introduce both phones at the same event? Samsung seems to think the S5 they announced yesterday is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
This is wishful thinking. There's no reason for Samsung to do that big launch event and not introduce all it's products. Maybe if the "S5 Prime" wasn't going to be ready for another 6 months, but then it's going to start bumping up against the next gen of phones so the release would be moot.

Idk about 6 months because the Note 4 will be released around then (around November or so). That's why I'm saying a month or so (by March/April).
I just refuse to believe that this is the best Samsung could come up with. Maybe they wanted to have something ready for Barcelona and decided to hold their true flapship phone not phablet back for their own big event.
If the S5 Premium exists it better offers at least 3 gig of ram, more PPI = 2k display and a less "glossy" look
I can't see this happening. The while one more thing Steve Jobs did once won't happen. I'm somewhat disappointed with the specs but I love the software gimmicks. This just solidified my plan to upgrade from my note 3 to the 4.

You really don't want a 2600 x 1400 display.
Most people are *****ing about the lack of high end specs. If you go the route of a higher resolution screen your really just taxing your battery and SoC and for what? Something that you need a magnifying glass to see? 1080p on a smart phone is more than enough. At least until power issues are solved.

that I totally agree with. the phone is pretty disappointing. .
Well now....
It "might" launch? I might skip it as well as the plastic version. Still a worthless upgrade unless your on an S2. Come on LG G 3....
And as for who else is expecting? The only thing I expect from them at this point is to be disappointed. I loved Samsung at one point. I own 2 TV's, 2 camera's, I"ve had the S2, Note , S3 , Note 2 , S4... No S5 for me after the locked bootloader crap.
If the rumors of Samsung lowering the retail price of the S5 hold true, then I would say that a premium "F" version is all but guaranteed.
Just my two cents.

The "P" or "F" or whatever series is set for a June launch (May announcement?) alongside with the Snapdragon 805 and Exynos 5/6 64bit and the QHD screen which has a low yield right now. No need to rush things, cause if the S5 kicks off like $100 cheaper than usual, a quarter of top sales should come handy before releasing the True New Flagship. Well the Note series is The Flagship nowadays for Samsung and I think they realized that people see it that way, which is why the new metallic nex-gen line-up to catch attention, but we'll see.
If I am Samsung, I would not launch a new phone for now. I rather save the metal build quality for note 4 now. I think it is going to disappoint existing S5 users.

Why should Samsung go full metal? The leather like back on the Note 3 is phenomenal. They aren't going to ditch one of their USP things just so people can show off their phone.
Other than that no doubt the Note 4 will come with topend specs, 5,7 inch should be enough to pack an octacore and qhd resolution into it.

As proven by the S 5 I think highend specs are way more interesting for the majority of the users. Beating the N 3 is not going to be an easy task Samsung absolutely nailed it and found a big niche market with this thing.

and I think Galaxy F series served for flexible feature.
and the F will get 2K, 3GB RAM etc...

Metal case is nice and all that, but if it means it won't have a removable battery, then I'm out.

It is changed but the functionality of printing based on the fingerprint is only software related. There's not extra hardware needed for that function.

Can you count the amount of people that will actually need to use all these? Answer is yes because it's going to be a small number. I bought the Note series because of the pen. Know how often I use it? maybe 4 times a year. I got it because of my job at the time and as it turns out, I barely need to use it for my job now.
Exynos means no AOSP so you're stuck with Samsung's BS of a software. Only good thing about TW when it comes to Note is the Pen software!
4GB of Ram doesn't mean crap. Note 4 has 3GB of Ram and it's fast. Heck my wifes G2 has only 2GB and it still kicks ass. Antutu doesn't mean ****!!!
'Thiner' so that it can break? And since when does a thinner phone classify as a upgraded feature? Really?! iSheep stuff dude.
Better low light pictures. I can't even remember the last time I decided to try and take the perfect photo at night. Oh man....oh man...not again...
Streaming to Youtube....Oh you mean that's an upgrade because they changed some code in the camera app? Guess what, it's going to be ported!
Better Stylus....I'll give you that but that still doesn't justify getting it just for the fact that the Stylus is more like a pen now. Sorry
Premium Design...........LMFAO!!! That's the difference between buying a 911 GT and a 911 GT2. You're paying extra money because of the word premium. iSheep mentality. Samsung is actually succeeding in that department.
LTEcat9: Because our current speed of LTE Networks is totally going to utilize this feature right?
Look....the phone looks good. Actually I take that back. It looks like it needs to be in a bubble because it might break just looking at it. I know that's why you put it in a case. Why buy a pretty phone to dumb it down with a case when you bought it for the looks?!
And maybe you're into Specs; I'm not sure, but seriously. Are you really looking at those specs and trying to justify spending $799+ on that phone? You're better off just saying you like to have the newest thing when it comes out so that you have it.
If I was being a **** I'm sorry but I'm really tired of seeing all the force justified answers for why the Note 5 is an "upgrade."
I feel as though people are just taking what they are given because they aren't given anything other options so they just roll with the punches.
I see that other posters have stated "yes, samsung comes to xda and reads your post to give you what you want." I understand that they don't and thankfully they don't because if they really gave us what we want they would go bankrupt in a heartbeat. However, the Note 5 just doesn't make sense. They took away so many things that people use every single day. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that tell me they are so thankful that I recommended to them to get a phone with an SDCard to save their pictures and such because their previous phone didn't have it and they were thinking their stuff was getting backed up to the cloud and it wasn't.
blah...I'm off this..
Do you think the development people will be able to Chang the functionality of the note 4 fingerprint scanner anytime soon as it seems like it will be very complicated to achieve

I don't think it will happen because the development com would've used a port from the S6 by now. What do you think?

Well said my friend
Im curious, since samsung officially announce the galaxy note 7 recall.
Will we get nougat 7.0 installed in updated note 7?
Keeping my fingers crossed but i doubt they will do it!
Still going to keep my fingers crossed lol
Highly doubt it since it has to go through carriers first. But sure I'm optimistic!?

I'm going to say no as well.. They are too focused on correcting issues without creating new ones in the process, plus like the previous poster said it has to go through the carriers as well.

No. And I surely hope not. They didn't promise 7.x until Nov. I'd like my Note 7 replaced way before then.
Yes it's been confirmed.

I am pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Samsung is already expecting to loose close to a billion dollars because of the recall. I don't think they are going to give away 600 million worth in watches away for free.
I would hope not, if you enjoy root on your device going to a newer build could always introduce an unknown factor. It's always best to know what the update has in terms of fixes and patches before having it installed.

There hasn't been a single software update for the TMO variant yet so I'm going to say that we have as much a chance of seeing 7.0 as we do it being the Exynos version.
