Samsung S7/S7 Edge owners: you are needed!

I am evaluating whether there is any correlation between camera sensor, CPU & firmware used.

It appears certain devices are able to manually set ISO 3200 as maximum in Camera FV-5. There are two sensors SONY_IMX260 or SLSI_S5K2L1 (Samsung).

I am aware in auto mode above ISO 800 is automatically set.

Please post similar to the following or screenshots:

Model: SM-G935F
CPU: Exynos
Camera sensor: SLSI_S5K2L1 (Samsung)
Build number: MMB29K.G935FXXU1APC8
Max manually settable ISO in Camera FV-5: ISO 800

Thank you

Got in touch with Samsung UK and it seems:

Non-EU devices = Snapdragon CPU = Sony sensor = ISO 3200 manually
EU devices = Exynos CPU = Samsung sensor = ISO 800 manually

Not 100% confimed though since others have reported a non-EU device with an Exynos CPU and Sony sensor.

EU devices have Samsung sensor or Sony sensor

i can't imagine it's due to the Snapdragon CPU

Do you see this but with ISO 1600 as an option?

Thanks for that. It appears the Sony sensor allows ISO 1600 manually.
