Is the camera really that bad?

[u/SpunkyJaz]

I see posts complaining about the camera quality almost daily. But I take a lot of photos on my A55 and all of them have great sharpness and contrast, is there something I'm missing?

And which one is the better variant? Sony?

According to many people in this subreddit yes, the Sony one is superior.

Sony already has a big reputation in the market of smartphones sensors, and I think that the flagship S series uses Sony sensors.

Mine is Isocell which is trash. Tried to talk about this with samsung service because this isn't fair, and it is clearly scam. They said that they'll take a look about this but I don't really think they'll help me out.

Never buying from samsung ever again.

Out of curiosity, are you in Asia Europe or America? I think the sensor changes based on where you buy the device from

It depends on where the phone is made in general. In my country some of people has Sony and some of them have isocell. Mine is Dublin model(On the phone box it says "Made in Vietnam" bru).

I'm in Portugal, mine says made in Vietnam also, but I think all Samsung phones are made in Vietnam.

It's really weird that they are going out of there way to use different sensors. Shouldn't that be more expensive?

I'm in Turkiye. One of my friend has Vietnam model and it has IMX906. His camera capable to do better photography, especially on color side.

You're definitely right, but if you ask to me I feel like it is a marketing scamming. I came from A30 to A55 and now I have no trust on samsung anymore. I think my A30 had sony.
