Imaging Resource has an article covering the tear-down of the Samsung Galaxy S5 done by the people over at Chipworks.
Chipworks engineers disassembles devices like the Samsung Galaxy, analyze the components and then provides an analysis of the device to competitors and institutional investors. (This would include your mutual fund manager if you happen to have a 401(k) account.)
This allows competitors to keep tabs on what other companies are doing and gives investors some insight into a companies strength and business strategy not available by other means.
The images including in the article are worth viewing. (The article itself is a bit dense in spots. Parts made my eyes glaze over and I'm fairly tech savvy.)
Here's the image of the phone's image sensor:
There are a large number of photos dedicated to the various parts and identification labels. It's a good opportunity to see what the inside of one of these devices looks like without risking taking one you own apart.
The Imaging Resource article is a little easier to read and includes a brief description of the implications when it comes to using the Galaxy to take photos.
