Samsung has listened, and your Galaxy S26 Ultra will take better photos.
Ask a Samsung user about a pet peeve of theirs, and you’re likely to hear about the 200 MP camera that hasn’t seen much improvement in years. According to a new leak, however, it seems that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will finally break that tradition, and feature a real, physical upgrade to its main sensor’s capabilities.
The S26 Ultra will use the same sensor as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but apparently with a larger aperture. In simple terms, the phone’s sensor will receive a lot more light than its predecessor. This should, in theory, drastically improve image quality, especially in environments where some objects are shrouded in shadow. Nighttime photography should also see a bump in quality.
Samsung users have been complaining about the stagnant camera hardware for years, and the company finally upgraded the ultrawide sensor this year.
