Sorry to pop all of your Samsung bubbles, but the sensor is not Samsung and is not biuld by Samsung Tech. Keep guessing and have fun with the pics. It is the best out there and just enjoy the camera.
These C901 pics look very much like Pixon12 pics from GSMArena (apart from the resolution):

So it probably is a Samsung sensor unless you can prove otherwise...

And that's so sad, don't you think?
Theory 1:
There is some friction between Sony and Sony Ericsson. While Sony makes really good digital cameras, they intentionally cripple Sony Ericsson camera phones by delivering inferior camera sensors, out of fear that their digicam sales will get hurt otherwise. Because of this Sony Ericsson do sometimes choose third-party sensors - with the result that photo quality goes up! One indication of the friction: Sony has until now refused to grant the PSP license to Sony Ericsson but seem now to be forced to do so due to the iPhone 3GS gobbling up mobile gaming marketshare.
Theory 2:
The C901 does actually have a larger Exmor 8MP sensor but the camera downsamples the photos to 5MP - hence the need for less noise reduction! Sony Ericsson do not want this to be known - otherwise C901 owners will start demanding 8 MP photos. Manufacturers have done similar things before. One example: Asus' P750 QVGA WM6 phone actually has a VGA display but the driver scales up the QVGA framebuffer to 2x2 for each pixel. Some hackers have succeeded in getting the display to show full VGA resolution.
Theory 3:
Gozila is just some snotty teenaged
fanboi trying to act important but in fact does not have a clue what camera chip the C901 has! The C901 has a Samsung sensor.

@AbuBasim
While the first part of your theory #3 is sound, I'm not sure I agree with the second part since that assumes only those two companies actually makes image sensors. A quick google search will show that there are a ton of other sensor vendors like Avago, Aptina, Canon, Cypress, Kodak, MagnaChip, OmniVision, STMicroelectronics, Toshiba, etc. Another look at the number of module and image processor vendors and you'll realize that it could be just about any combination.

indeed Abu, it's sad but maybe someday Sony will kick our asses again like many years ago with K750 and K800
I still believe they can do a lot better things than current imaging solutions in older C models

You seem to hint that you know. So what's stopping you from sharing this with us? My guess: a lot of
fanbois will not be pleased.
It is the best out there [snip]
Sharp?
Na, just want to keep all interested. If you need proof, take appart one and you will know.

The last time I took a phone apart to find out what sensor it had, it was a destructive process. The type will usually be underneath so you have to remove the chip from the mainboard to see what's written on it.
