I was working on an app which utilizes the gyroscope readings from the device. All devices give correct readings except for samsung galaxy S3(GT-I9300 android 4.1.2). The gyroscope reading saturates at about 10rad/s with a flat curve in the graph for it where as the reading for other devices would spike up more(17-25rad/s) without any flat curve. I tried running one of the sensor monitoring app(Sensor Kinetics) and got the same graph. Please find the link to screenshots.

Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Android Version 4.1.2
Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-I747 Android Version 4.1.1
Can anyone please help me identify the root cause of it?

I was able to identify the root cause behind the issue. The above listed samsung devices use different Sensor manufacturers with different range of the readings for gyroscope.

For the GT-I9300 version the range was around 10rad/s around which the reading was halting where as the other version has a range almost double of it.

GT-I9300 :
Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics.
Range: +-500deg/s

SGH-I747 :
Manufacturer: InvenSense
Range: +-1000deg/s
