Overview

  • According to X tipster Ice Universe, the S26 Ultra will continue to use Samsung’s 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 sensor for its main camera.
  • The report indicates Samsung plans to widen the primary lens aperture to f/1.4 from f/1.7.
  • A lower f-number like f/1.4 could allow about 47% more light into the sensor compared to the S25 Ultra.
  • Wider aperture shooting is expected to reduce noise and smearing while delivering sharper details and enhanced bokeh in low-light conditions.
  • Samsung has not confirmed these specifications, which are widely anticipated to be officially revealed at an early-2026 Unpacked event.
