The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to get a major camera update

Samsung’s next flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a major camera upgrade. According to insiders, the smartphone will be equipped with a new 200-megapixel sensor from Sony with a larger pixel size. This should significantly improve photo quality, especially in low light.

Although the current Galaxy S25 Ultra already uses a 200MP camera, the new sensor promises to be more advanced. Admittedly, there’s a slight chance that Samsung will save this update until the Galaxy S27 Ultra is released in 2027.

The Galaxy S26 lineup could be in for a change. Rumor has it that the company will drop the Plus version, leaving three models: the base S26, the ultra-thin S26 Edge, and the top-of-the-line S26 Ultra. The move should make it easier for buyers to choose.

Interestingly, Apple may follow a similar path. In 2026, the company might replace the iPhone 17 Plus with the smaller iPhone 17 Air, making the lineup more diverse.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 series in January 2026, keeping the traditional release schedule. That would give the company a head start over Apple, which typically announces new iPhones in September.

Details on the Galaxy S26’s other specs are scarce at this point. But it’s already clear that the flagship’s main trump cards will be an advanced camera and new AI features. The race between Samsung and Apple is on, and 2026 promises to be an interesting year for smartphone lovers.
