Overview

• Conceptual renders present a vertical camera island for three rear lenses, echoing the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s layout.
• Leaks suggest the main and 5x periscope telephoto lenses will feature larger apertures in a slimmer frame, creating an estimated 3 mm bump.
• Leakers Ice Universe and @kro_roe have both corroborated the raised platform design and noted decorative rings around the cameras.
• Samsung would be reversing the flat camera array approach used on its S-series flagships since the Galaxy S22 Ultra if this design is confirmed.
• The S26 Ultra is also expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy and offer improved battery capacity and faster charging speeds.
