Samsung_Galaxy_Note_4_Back_Camera_Lens_Heart_Rate_Monitor_Closeup_TA While we wait for Samsung to make their 2015 flagship official on March 1st, we can still snoop around to try to figure out what's going to be inside the Galaxy S 6 ahead of time. Originally, rumors pointed at the device using a 20 megapixel camera, but now it's looking like Samsung will go with a 16 megapixel Sony IMX240 sensor.

This is actually the same sensor that Samsung used in the Galaxy Note 4, but they've reportedly tweaked a few things for better performance. The Note 4 takes fantastic pictures, so any improvement on that will be great news for photo-enthusiasts.
