We have explained in-depth on what this optics hardware is capable of achieving, and while it had its uses, the Korean giant never bothered to retain this feature in recent models. However, according to one tipster, there is a chance that the Galaxy S26 Ultra ships with a variable aperture, bringing even more image and video-capturing versatility to the table.Samsung also retained its dual-aperture technology with the Galaxy S10, but the feature could resurrect with the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s arrival
