Samsung is reportedly working on a new Galaxy S series, which is set to launch next year, but early leaks have already begun shedding light on what to expect from the flagship.
A new leak claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature some camera upgrades. The South Korean-based tech giant is expected to pack an upgraded main camera sensor on the top-end phone.
Galaxy S26 Ultra likely to feature 200MP main camera
On Weibo, a Chinese tipster Fixed Focus Digital claimed that Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a 1/1.1-inch 200MP Sony CMOS sensor. Samsung is expected to use this sensor for the main camera.
The rumoured camera sensor could improve picture quality compared to the current 200MP shooters. It would also mark a shift in Samsung's imaging strategy.
A recent rumour suggested that the Galaxy S26 Ultra would come with a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12MP 3x telephoto sensor and a 50MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom. It is likely to feature the next-generation ProVisual Engine.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra features (expected)
Samsung is expected to officially launch the Galaxy S26 Ultra early next year with upgrades over the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It could be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, which is expected to be announced in September this year. The phone is tipped to pack 16GB of RAM. It is likely to get an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The phone is hinted at to offer the same 6.9-inch panel as its predecessor, likely sporting thinner bezels.
