I thought this would be of interest to some PDMLers.
I've noticed TV ads about the low-light capabilities of the new Samsung
flagman phone Galaxy s7 edge. So, I was curious "what's under the hood".
It's interesting that they (finally!) used the "less is more" approach
for the sensor that has been widely discussed (including here, on PDML).

I was surprised and impressed by the fact how the AF is done using ALL
pixels of the sensor. I wonder if a similar approach could/would be
implemented in DSLRs and "digital range-finders".
I had missed it, and learned just now that Canon 70D (and EOS C100 cinema
camera) are using the same "dual pixel CMOS AF" technology:

What I couldn't find is my initial question is what's the maximum ISO it
has. Or, rather, what's the maximum usable ISO on it.
This page shows that there is at least ISO 2000:
