First Info on Galaxy S26 Ultra Shows Not Much New Stuff
Early details about the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra are coming up, showing that the company might keep using the same main parts and rely more on software to make things better. Some reports, such as those from GalaxyClub, say a lot of key features won’t change from past "Ultra" models.
Camera May Get Tiny Tweaks
The main things being talked about are the camera and battery, which look a lot like the old ones.
- Zoom Camera: One of the zoom cameras will likely have a 50MP sensor with a 5x optical periscope lens. This setup was also in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and might be in the S25 Ultra.
- Main Camera: The main camera is expected to have a 200MP sensor, just like the ones before it.
- Battery Size: The phone should have a 5,000mAh battery, which has been the norm for the Ultra line since the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
More Focus on Software and Possible New Features
Since the main parts are staying the same, any big improvements in how the camera works or the battery life will probably come from new software tricks and better use of software. Samsung has shown before that it can make photos better with software, which they might do again for the S26 Ultra.
There could still be some new hardware. The reports talk about possibly bringing back a lens that can change its opening size, which would give photographers more options. Also, no news on a second zoom camera yet, so there might still be a new sensor or zoom feature in the works.
Early Days Still
Keep in mind, these are just early talks. The Galaxy S26 series isn't expected until early 2026, so there’s a lot of time for these details to change. While the first bits of info might disappoint those wanting big new things in hardware, the final result will depend on how well hardware, software, and new features all work together.
