Got a decommissioned Galaxy S7 Edge, which BARELY worked, all glass was completely shattered. One thing Samsung got right is the flash LED is absolutely sublime. While iPhone default flash is cold white (almost greenish in comparison) and compensates by extra two LED of ******* amber tint — Samsung simply used one powerful LED which seems to either have very high CRI or a perfect shade of neutral-warm tint.
Ive compared it to an indandescent minimag and it's not that yellow at all, and the brightness is about 2/4 that of iPhone 8's setting, though I'm sure I could push it a bit more.
This is a very very impressive little light and I would love to create a pen sized flashlight that would run on either 1 or 2 AA.
if anyone can shed some light on what model/make LED this is, max voltage and amperage, I would greatly appreciate it, also please give me ideas on how to remove it from the board. I practiced on another galaxy S2 and when I used a heat shrinking heatgun it started melting white LED plastic, pushing it while heating I only managed to gouge the glass lens out, the only other thing I can think of is slowly cutting the board around it.
here is the picture of what I have, sorry if bad format I'm off my phone at the moment.
