Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly adopt a larger telephoto sensor with a higher zoom range, and might bring back the variable aperture perk.

It’s a position that Samsung has held for a few generations of S Ultra phone now, thanks to its quad-camera array and 200MP main snapper, but there’s always room for improvement, and a new rumor has us crossing our fingers for next year’s release.

Spec-wise, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is a winner. It has a blazing-fast custom Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, an even larger take on the S24 Ultra’s low-glare display, and a more robust camera system with 48-megapixel ultra-wide shots.
