Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to see only modest enhancements to its camera technology. While the primary lens will feature a wider f/1.4 aperture to improve low-light performance, the overall hardware will remain largely unchanged from previous models.
Recent leaks indicate that Samsung will address two significant issues commonly associated with its smartphone cameras: lens flaring and skin tone yellowing. By incorporating advanced lens coatings and refining processing techniques, the company aims to enhance the camera's performance in challenging lighting conditions.
Additionally, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly support the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec, allowing users to capture RAW videos with improved bitrate and detail. However, some features, such as the 5x telephoto and ultrawide lenses, may not see substantial upgrades. Although there is a possibility of upgrading the 10MP 3x telephoto sensor to a 12MP variant, significant improvements in camera performance compared to competitors may still lag behind.
