To Pixel or not to Pixel, that is the question.

While I am not a big camera guy, I believe it is due to their dual pixel auto-focus system. Essentially, virtually every smartphone camera and most traditional cameras have 5-10% of its pixels that are dedicated for focusing on a certain object where as the S7's camera uses 100% of its Pixels in order to focus. It allows the camera to focus super fast compared to other smartphones and Samsung's ISOCELL tech helps greatly in lowlight. The results are that when you take a picture, you should get the best results avaliable with the least amount of mistakes, even in low light situations to put it in simply. When you have all these technologies coming together with OIS which also helps taking pictures, the results are craycray.

I hope every phone from next generation has Dual Pixel tech because it is incredible. And yes, they do make their own sensors for their cameras.

Sorry, I meant to ask if Samsung S7 uses Sammy's sensors, I know they make sensors I just don't know if they use them.

Upon further research, some S7s use sensors from SONY and some use Samsung senosrs, both take pretty close pictures, quality wise. Goes to show how much effort (outside of making sensors) Samsung has put into their cameras. 

Yea its similar to how Apple has both TSMC and Samsung making CPUs for them. Both of them perform equally but the cpus manufactured by TSMC is slightly more efficient which gives you slightly longer battery life on the iphone 6s.
