Samsung appears to be focusing on adding additional software features rather than hardware upgrades to make the Galaxy S26 more appealing.
The Galaxy S26 might receive notable camera upgrades, even without many changes to the hardware.
Samsung is rumored to bring more features to Camera Assistant, an app that unlocks hidden Camera settings on Galaxy phones.
Among other features, we could see the option to click pictures at 24MP by default instead of the existing 12MP or 50MP modes.
While the camera itself isn’t receiving any significant upgrades, some of the software features supporting it are expected to improve. One way we can see this improvement is by adding additional camera settings options to Samsung phones through a first-party extension.
Tipster chunvn8888 on X recently shared a list of features coming to Samsung’s Camera Assistant app with the Galaxy S26 series. For those who may not know, Camera Assistant is an app that can be installed on a recently released Galaxy flagship to expand controls, such as automatic lens switching or enhanced HDR controls, essentially bringing additional Camera settings that are hidden by default.
