Audio
The audio codec used is Cirrus Logic / +Wolfson Microelectronics WM1840, which is not a part listed on their public website
http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/codecs.html and also rather elusive on the web.
As there's outputs named HPOUT1L to HPOUT3R, I would guess that it's equipped with 6 DAC channels to line/or amplified headphones out, and from with the same approach 4 DAC channels to speaker out.
I count as well 4 audio input interface (from the CPU to the codec), 2 stereo ASRC, 2 stereo DRC, and DSP count goes from 1 to 7.
Well you got the point, lots of channels and mixing capabilities 🙂
Galaxy S6 audioflinger native sampling frequency is 48kHz.
I didn't evaluate the quality of the resampler yet.
Camera
The back camera sensor is confirmed to be a Sony IMX240, the same as rumored and already present in the Note 4.
It means the additional features compared to its bigger brother come from ISP capabilities, not the sensor itself.

+François Simond​ Are you saying there might be a voodoo sound for this?
How does this compare to their previous phones, the audio. What about other phones?
I have the Samsung mega from MetroPCS and unless I used viper it really sucked.
+FLM JIG​ The mega used the ymu831.
+barnassey トーマス it's the same as some of their other high end phones. Albeit older, but still… Stock mega doesn't have great sound. Perhaps other cheap components.
Thanks
+FLM JIG Actually im wrong the mega uses a qualcomm chipset. You need a kernel with fauxsound to really fix it.
That makes a lot more sense lol It is not the worst but it is in no way great sound. haha
Output 48kh…noooo!!!
